Patent ID: 7526017

Claim:
A transmitting device that transmits a source clock, transmission data, and a plurality of transmission sync signals indicating the timing of the transmission data to a plurality of receiving devices, the transmitting device comprising: a data transmission section that is provided for each of the receiving devices, transmits, as the source clock, a transmitting device system clock input from outside to a corresponding receiving device and, at the same time, transmits the transmission data according to the transmitting device system clock to the corresponding receiving device; and a transmission sync signal generation section that is provided for each of the receiving devices, generates a transmission sync signal based on the timing of a corresponding transmitting device system clock and an inter-device sync signal input from outside, wherein the transmission sync signal resets a write address in the corresponding receiving device in which the transmission data received thereby is stored, and the inter-device sync signal resets a read address in the corresponding receiving device from which the transmission data stored therein is read.
