To provide an integrated information processing unit that is capable of producing
images and sounds of high quality. It includes a control unit, information processing
units, and a merge unit. Each of the information processing units includes a counter
for synchronization purpose. The information processing units performs a predetermined
processing based on the measured value obtained by the counter for synchronization
purpose. The control unit simultaneously provides a trigger of measurement of synchronization
clocks to all counters for synchronization purpose and individually provides a
reset signal to the counters for synchronization purpose which the reset signal
is for initializing the measured value obtained by the counters for synchronization
purpose. The merge unit merges information processed by the information processing
units according to the unit of output (in frame) of, for example, a display device.
