According to one embodiment, a transmission apparatus includes a transmission module, a controller, a signal transmission module, and a selection module. The transmission module is configured to output a video signal or an audio signal to a TMDS line of an HDMI cable in a form based on the HDMI standard. The controller is configured to input/output an HEAC signal of the HDMI standard. The signal transmission module is configured to perform signal transmission based on a method other than the HDMI standard. The selection module is configured to selectively switch the HEAC line of the HDMI cable to either a state used for transmission of the HEAC signal that is input/output to/from the controller or a state used for transmission of a signal that is input/output to/from the signal transmission module.

Transmission apparatus, reception apparatus, and transmission method

A frame combining apparatus, having a plurality of decoding means for decoding frame data for each of a plurality of sub-frames through a decoding process opposite to a coding process when a plurality of coded data streams obtained by coding frame data of a frame divided into a plurality of sub-frames are input, a synchronizing means for generating external synchronizing data for defining output timings of decoded outputs from a plurality of decoding means, and a delaying means for generating more than one external synchronizing data delayed by a delay time corresponding to a plurality of sub-frames in response to the division of a frame and to give the external synchronizing data from the synchronizing means and external synchronizing data having a delay time corresponding to the divided sub-frames out of more than one delayed external synchronizing data to decoding means corresponding to the sub-frames, respectively.
