Abstract
An image data demodulation apparatus comprises an input control portion for turning ON/OFF input of an encoded image data corresponding to a control signal, a detecting circuit for detecting a sequence header from the encoded image data supplied therefrom, a data extracting portion for, when the sequence header is detected, extracting a predetermined data about the kind of image data from the encoded image data, a control circuit for supplying the control signal to the input control portion based on the detected sequence header and the predetermined data so as to control ON/OFF of the input control portion and a demodulation circuit. As a result, if the type of the encoded image data is changed, this is detected and an input is temporarily stopped so as to secure a new memory region corresponding to the image type.
