Abstract
A decoding unit includes a first processing unit including ND decoding units and decoding a group of Normal Data, a second processing unit decoding a group of Flex Bits, and a selector. The ND decoding units perform decoding of the group of Normal Data, stepwise varying a start position of decoding in the data stream, concurrently with decoding of the group of Flex Bits by the second processing unit. The selector selects one ND decoding unit with a start position of decoding being set at a position immediately following an end position of the group of Flex Bits, from the ND decoding units, based on a result of decoding of the group of Flex Bits.
