Abstract
A data processing apparatus, a data processing method, and a program that are configured to prevent (or lower) the increase in scale and cost of the apparatus. A read/write control portion executes read/write control in which slots subject to extraction of two or more slots in one frame that is a collection of two or more slots each of which is a unit of error correction coding are written to a ring buffer and the slots subject to extraction in one frame written to the ring buffer are read within the unit time. When slots subject to extraction are changed, an output portion executes output processing in which dummy data outputted from a dummy data output portion are outputted with a timing immediately before a change start frame that is a frame from which the change of slots subject to extraction is started and, slots subject to extraction read from the ring buffer are outputted for frames subsequent to the change start frame. The present disclosure is applicable to reception apparatuses for receiving BS digital broadcasting, for example.
