Abstract
A decoding apparatus is provided with a decoder for receiving plural bit streams and decoding the respective bit streams to output decoded bit streams, and a decoding state holder for saving and restoring plural states of the decoder. The decoder selects a bit stream to be a target of decoding, from among the plural bit streams to be decoded, decodes the selected bit stream, performs saving and restoration of its state into/from the decoding state holder, outputs plural decoding results to the corresponding destinations, and completes a series of the processes mentioned above within a predetermined period of time corresponding to each bit stream. Therefore, the plural bit streams can be decoded apparently at the same time, by using a single decoder.
