Abstract
Packets received through a network interfaceis stored into a receiving buffer. Are production controllerchecks the current state of receiving bufferand performs a reproduction process mentioned below. The data in receiving bufferis transferred to a decoderin accordance with instruction from reproduction controllerand decoded as voice sound, D/A converted by a D/A converterand then output as voice sound from a speaker. The clock for D/A conversion is supplied from a reproduction clock CLK. This configuration is free from overflow and underflow of the receiving buffer due to difference in clocks between the transmitting and receiving ends, and prevents the occurrence of packet jitter so as to avoid voice sound breaks.
