The present invention comprises a synchronization section for performing
synchronization of an AV stream and metadata, and a capsulization section
for capsulizing an AV stream and metadata every metadata unit, and by
reconfiguring metadata unit by unit and capsulizing an AV stream by this
means, makes possible partial execution of metadata, and makes it
possible to carry out program distribution for processing a segment
comprising part of an AV stream, speeding up of response times, reduction
of the necessary storage capacity, and reduction of network traffic.
