A microprocessor used in a pair with a baseband processor for performing
the baseband processing, is provided with a central processing unit for
calculation processing, a counter capable of measuring time in the
calculation processing by the central processing unit, and an interface
which enables the baseband processor to read the counter. By making the
baseband processor read the counter, the processing by the baseband
processor is synchronized with the processing by the central processing
unit in the microprocessor. Consequently, it is possible to establish
synchronization between video and voice when the video processing and the
voice processing are separately performed by different processors.
