Claims
- 1. A serial digital data transfer apparatus comprising:a transfer packet forming means for forming a first transfer packet including: a payload portion into which a digital data is inserted; a first start synchronization code storage portion positioned at a preceding position of said payload portion into which a first start synchronization code is inserted, said first start synchronization code indicating a start of said digital data inserted into said payload portion; a first end synchronization code storage portion into which a first end synchronization code is inserted, said first end synchronization code indicating an end of said digital data inserted into said payload portion; and an ancillary data storage portion positioned between said first end synchronization code storage portion and said first start synchronization code storage portion and into which a source address and a destination address are inserted, said source address indicating an address of an apparatus form which said first transfer packet data is transmitted and said destination address indicating an address of an apparatus to which said first transfer packet data is transmitted; said payload portion, said first start synchronization code storage portion, said first end synchronization code storage portion and said ancillary data storage portion respectively corresponding to the following portions constituting a second transfer packet of a serial data format, said second transfer packet including: an active video portion into which a video data is inserted; a second start synchronization code storage portion positioned at a preceding portion of said active video portion into which a second start synchronization code is inserted, said second start synchronization code indicating a start of said video data stored in said active video portion; a second end synchronization code storage portion into which a second end synchronization code is inserted, said second end synchronization code indicating an end of said video data inserted into said active video portion; and an auxiliary data storage portion positioned between said second end synchronization code storage portion and said second start synchronization code storage portion and into which an auxiliary data is inserted; and a serial digital data transmitting means for transmitting serial digital data having said first transfer packet, translated in said transfer packet forming means.
- 2. A serial digital data transfer apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said serial digital interface of said second transfer packet is defined by SMPTE-259M.
- 3. A method for transferring serial digital data, including the steps of:a transfer packet forming step for forming a first transfer packet including: a payload portion into which a digital data is inserted; a first start synchronization code storage portion positioned at a preceding position of said payload portion into which first start synchronization code is inserted, said first start synchronization code indicating a start of said digital data inserted into said payload portion; a first end synchronization code storage portion into which a first end synchronization code is inserted, said first end synchronization code indicating an end of said digital data inserted into said payload portion; and an ancillary data storage portion positioned between said first end synchronization code storage portion and said first start synchronization code storage portion and into which a source address and a destination address are inserted, said source address indicating an address of an apparatus from which said first transfer packet data is transmitted and said destination address indicating an address of an apparatus to which said first transfer packet data is transmitted, said payload portion, said first start synchronization code storage portion, said first end synchronization code storage portion and said first ancillary data storage portion respectively corresponding to the following portions constituting a second transfer packet of a serial digital data format, said second transfer packet including: an active video portion into which a video data is inserted; a second start synchronization code storage portion positioned at a preceding portion of said active video portion into which a second start synchronization code is inserted, said second start synchronization code indicating a start of said video data stored in said active video portion; a second end synchronization code storage portion into which a second end synchronization code is inserted, said second end synchronization code indicating an end of said video data inserted into said active video portion; and an auxiliary data storage portion positioned between said second end synchronization code storage portion and said second start synchronization code storage portion and into which an auxiliary data is inserted; and a serial digital data transmitting step for transmitting serial digital data having said data first transfer packet, translated in said transfer packet forming step.
- 4. A method for transferring serial digital data according to claim 3, wherein said serial digital interface of said second transfer packet is defined by SMPTE-259M.
