Abstract: A digital signal transmitting system and method, transmitting apparatus and method, and receiving apparatus and method for allowing reproduction of audio reference clocks of different frequencies from video reference clocks. Pixel clocks are frequency-divided to a predetermined frequency by a divider part (51) and compared in phase by a phase comparator part (52). An Fs decoder part (32) decides frequency division ratios P and Q based on Fs information transmitted from a transmitter side and representing the audio clock frequency, and supplies them to variable divider parts (55,56). As a result, even when the audio clock frequency varies, the oscillation frequency of a VCO part (54) can be kept constant, so that the variable divider part (56) outputs signals of a constant frequency, thereby keeping the frequency of the signals to be inputted to the phase comparator part (52) constant. The invention is applicable to an AV signal transmitting/receiving apparatus.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To switch an oscillation frequency range of VCO of PLL for audio clock reproduction on the receiving side according to the change of an audio sampling frequency even without transmitting information indicating the audio sampling frequency as information for locking the PLL for audio clock reproduction on the receiving side. SOLUTION: When a frequency of a pixel clock is set as fp, the audio sampling frequency is set as fs and a frequency of an audio clock to be reproduced is set as fa, fa=384fs=(N/M)fp, in the case of fs=48 kHz, M=27000, N=18432 and in the case of fs=44.1 kHz, M=30000 and N=18816. A VCO control part 50 detects the change of the audio sampling frequency fs from a control voltage Vctl of the output of a loop filter 44 or a frequency fo of an output clock of an oscillation part 30 and selects either of VCOs 31, 32.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that it is difficult and troublesome to look for a program out of many programs or information about the many programs. SOLUTION: Received EPG information is stored in a database 12. The EPG information is read by a vocabulary segmentation part 31, which segments the read EPG information by the unit of the vocabulary. The segmented vocabulary is supplied to a registration part 41. When the supplied vocabulary is a part of speech or a word set in advance, the registration part 41 registers it in a related information file. A prescribed vocabulary and a program (EPG information) including the vocabulary are correlated and stored in the related information file. The vocabulary stored in the related information file is emphasized and displayed when EPG is provided to a user. The emphasized and displayed vocabulary has a link, and when the vocabulary is selected, information of a link destination is provided to the user. This method can be applied to a set top box dealing with the EPG information. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
