Abstract
A transmission interface unit in a transmission system wherein time series data is divided into data groups and a data packet comprising reproduction specification time data specifying the time at which each data piece in the data groups should be reproduced, added to the data groups is transmitted on a transmission bus in a time division manner. The reception interface unit has a cycle timer for counting the reference time of the home machine based on the reference time on the transmission bus, a generation section for generating the reproduction specification time data, an addition section for dividing the time series data into data groups, putting into packets, and adding the reproduction specification time data to the data in the packets, and a rewrite section for rewriting the reproduction specification time data. When the reference time on the transmission bus changes, the rewrite section rewrites the reproduction specification time data added to the data put into a packet before the reference time on the transmission bus changes.
