Abstract

An encoding apparatus 2 includes: an encoding unit 21 that encodes and multiplexes a video signal V2, an audio signal A2 and a data signal D2 to be given to the encoding apparatus 2; a timer 22 that outputs time information T2; a timer adjusting unit 23 that adjusts the timer 22 so that the time information T2 and time information T1 within a multiplexed stream S1 outputted from an encoding apparatus 1 are synchronized with each other; and a multiplexing unit 24 that multiplexes the multiplexed stream S1, an encoded stream S21 outputted from the encoding unit 21 and the time information T2, and outputs the resultant multiplexed stream and information as output of the encoding apparatus 2. Third and subsequent encoding apparatus are configured to have the same configuration as that of the encoding apparatus 2.
