Abstract

There occurs an output timing lag between audio and video, for example, in case of building a system. Excessive frame skipping, etc. occurs. Prior to comparing a PTS and an SCR of MPEG within an apparatus, an offset value is added to the value of PTS. A minus offset value is used for a fast decode process. Offset values are written into an audio offset value register etc. by a host CPU. A value obtained by adding PTS and an offset value and an internal clock SSC depending on an SCR are compared by an adder-subtracter. If comparison shows the decode process is still fast, a decision controller instructs, for example, display of the same frame twice.
