In an audio/video/computer graphics data synchronous
reproducing/synthesizing system, a demultiplexer separates a bit stream
in which an audio signal, a video signal, and computer graphics data are
compressed and multiplexed, into compressed audio and video signal
streams, audio and video signal time reference values, and a compressed
computer graphics data stream. An audio PLL generates a first decoding
clock. An audio decoder decodes the audio signal. An audio memory stores
the decoded audio signal. A modulator modulates the audio signal in
accordance with sound source control information. A video PLL generates a
second decoding clock. A video decoder decodes the video signal. A video
memory stores the decoded video signal. A CG decoder decodes the computer
graphics data and event time management information. A CG memory stores
the decoded computer graphics data. An event generator generates an event
driving instruction. A detector detects viewpoint movement of an
observer. A render engine receives the video signal, the computer
graphics data, the event driving instruction, and viewpoint movement data
and outputs a synthesized image of the video signal and the computer
graphics data and the sound source control information. The method for
this system is also disclosed.
