APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AN MPEG-2 TRANSPORT PACKET HAVING A VARIABLE PACKET LENGTH

摘要

Provided is a transport packet generating apparatus that generates a transport packet having a variable length, and the length of the transport packet is indicated by a field included in a header of the transport packet or a synchronization area of the transport packet, the field indicating a length of the transport packet.;Also provided is a transport packet depacketizing apparatus that depacketizes the transport packet having the variable length by decoding the field indicating the length of the transport packet or detecting a starting point of the transport packet based on a predetermined rule with respect to the synchronization area to decode the transport packet.
