Abstract
Description
仮にTSの伝送レートが一定であれば、パケット(固定長)単位の伝送時間が一定となるので、TSを構成する連続した2つのパケットのタイムスタンプの差分も一定になる。したがって、TSが放送されたときの伝送レートがわかり、且つ、タイムスタンプの初期値が決定できれば、クロックリカバリ回路を用いることなく、TSの各パケットに付加するタイムスタンプを計算できることになる。
図2は、本開示を適用した受信装置の第1の構成例を示している。この受信装置11は、制御部12、および受信処理部13から構成される。制御部12は、受信処理部13を制御する。受信処理部13は、制御部12からの制御に従い、アンテナなどから入力される放送波からTSを取得し、TSを構成する各パケットにタイムスタンプを付加して後段に出力する。

T(6)=T(5)+ΔT=10189+277/407
T(7)=T(6)+ΔT=11887+391/407
T(8)=T(7)+ΔT=13585+505/407=13586+98/407
上述したように、伝送レートR、タイムスタンプ増分値ΔT、およびタイムスタンプT(i)の計算は、乗除算を含むために処理コストが高い。そこで、伝送レートRおよびタイムスタンプ増分値ΔTを計算する代わりに、伝送パラメータに対してタイムスタンプ増分値ΔTが対応付けられているLUT(Look Up Table)を用いて演算の処理コストを削減するようにしてもよい。
次に、受信装置31の動作について説明する。ただし、選局切り替えに対処するための処理、および、誤り訂正済のTSを構成する各パケットに対してタイムスタンプを付加するための処理については、上述した受信装置11の動作と同様なので、その説明は省略する。
ここで、LUT部33に保持されているLUTの一例を示す。図8は、日本国内における衛星デジタル放送規格(BSデジタル放送)の変調方式がTC8PSKである場合の符号化パラメータとしての割り当てスロット数Nをそのままアドレスとして用いたLUTの一例である。
図9は、受信したTSの伝送レートが一定である場合における受信装置11および31の出力例を示している。
図11は、伝送レートが受信途中で変更された場合における受信装置11および31から出力されるパケットに付加されているタイムスタンプの値をプロットしたものである。同図の横軸はパケット番号i、縦軸はiに対応するタイムスタンプ値T(i)を示している。
図12は、選局切り替えを行った場合における受信装置11および31から出力されるパケットに付加されているタイムスタンプの値をプロットしたものである。
図13は、受信装置11(または受信装置31)を、放送されたTSを記録媒体に記録する記録システムに応用した場合の構成例を示している。該記録システムでは、受信装置11から出力されるタイムスタンプ付きTSが記録部41に供給されて記録媒体42に記録される。この記録媒体42は、例えば、DVD,Blu-ray(登録商標) Disc、ハードディスクドライブ、フラッシュメモリなどからなる。
