Transmission apparatus, transmission method, reception apparatus, reception method, and transmission/reception system using audio compression data stream as a container of other information
A transmission apparatus includes a first data stream generation unit, a second data stream generation unit, and a data transmission unit. The first data stream generation unit generates an image compression data stream. The second data stream generation unit generates a audio compression data stream to which specific information which is not directly related to audio data is added. The data transmission unit multiplexes the image compression data stream generated by the first data stream generation unit and the audio compression data stream generated by the second data stream generation unit, and transmits the resulting data stream.
Combined broadcast and backchannel delivery of streaming content
Streaming content may be delivered through a combination of broadcast and a backchannel. A desired streamlet may be selected from the packet of information and presented with a display. A remainder of a data stream associated with the streamlet may be requested and received from via a backchannel while the desired streamlet is being presented. The remaining data stream may then be presented with the display.
