Abstract

A video transmission apparatus comprises video codec for compression-encoding video data to be transmitted and decompression-decoding video data as received; a first audio codec for compression-encoding first audio data to be transmitted and decompression-decoding first audio data as received; a second audio codec for compression-encoding second audio data to be transmitted and decompression-decoding second audio data as received; a multiplexer-demultiplexer for including a three-channel buffer memory and processor; and an interface connectable to communications satellite network and ground network. In the multiplexer-demultiplexer, video data-first audio data and second audio data to be transmitted are multiplexed and converted to a packet based on a predetermined communication format, and packet as received is separated into video data-first audio data, and second audio data.
