Abstract
An image processing apparatus includes an input device for inputting image data, a coder for variable-length-coding the image data input by the input device, and an adder for adding sync information as to the location of an image sync signal in the image data to the variable-length-coded image data. The invention also relates to an image processing apparatus for reproducing variable-length-coded image data with which sync information indicating the location of the image sync signal of the image data is transmitted. The apparatus includes a decoder for decoding the variable-length-coded image data, a detector for detecting the sync information indicating the location of an image sync signal, and an output device for outputting the image data decoded by the decoder in accordance with an output from the detector.
