Abstract

A system is disclosed for multiplexing, transmitting, and receiving picture data and sound data, wherein the picture data and sound data are balanced in a limited transmission capacity so as to obtain a better overall quality to effectively use the transmission ability of a medium. The content of at least one of the picture data and sound data are detected and used for control of the content of the transmission. The content of the transmission is controlled by changing data and sound to correct a difference between the processing speed of the picture data and the sound data, thereby improving the quality of a video conference system or the like where the transmission capacity is insufficient.
