A 3D image processing apparatus includes: L and R graphic decoders which decode coded stream data to generate left-eye and right-eye image data; an image output control unit which outputs the generated image data; and a control unit which, when a decoding error occurs in generating one of the image data, and a successful decode occurs in generating the other of the image data, (i) shifts, by a preset offset, a pixel position of the other of the image data, to generate pseudo image data as the one of the image data, and (ii) outputs the pseudo image data to an image output control unit, wherein the image output control unit outputs the other of the image data and the pseudo image data, when the decoding error occurs in generating the one of the image data and the successful decode occurs in generating the other of the image data.

In a demultiplexer, if as for a certain packet a packet header detection section has detected a packet header without error, a memory control section controls a payload of the packet which is separated by a payload separation section to be stored in a buffer memory. If, as for a predetermined number of packets, the packet header detection section has detected packet headers without error, the memory control section permits a payload of a packet previous to the predetermined number of packets to be output from the buffer memory.

Demultiplexer

In a demultiplexer, a finite search length and a finite jump length are set in a packet header detection section. The packet header detection section skips from a transfer start position of a multiplexed stream according to the set jump length and then searches for a start code included in a packet header which is to be detected through a range designated by the search length. A payload separation section separates payloads included in the multiplexed stream based on detection results of the packet header detection section.
