Abstract

A demultiplexing device includes a first demultiplexer configured to demultiplex a first input signal, a second demultiplexer configured to demultiplex a second input signal, and a switching circuit configured to set an input destination of signals demultiplexed and output by each of the first demultiplexer and the second demultiplexer based on data rates of the first and second input signals. A multiplexing device includes a first multiplexer configured to multiplex a first input signal, a second multiplexer configured to multiplex a second input signal, and a switching circuit configured to set an input destination of signals multiplexed and output by the first multiplexer and the second multiplexer based on data rates of the first and second input signals.

Claims (16)

1. A demultiplexing device comprising:

a first demultiplexer configured to demultiplex a first input signal having a first data rate;

a second demultiplexer configured to demultiplex a second input signal having a second data rate that is different than the first data rate; and

a switching circuit configured to set an input destination of signals demultiplexed and output by one of the first demultiplexer and the second demultiplexer to the other one of the first demultiplexer and the second demultiplexer, based on whether the first data rate is higher than the second data rate or the second data rate is higher than the first data rate.

2. The demultiplexing device according to claim 1 , further comprising:

an extraction circuit configured to extract configuration information indicating the configuration of each of the first input signal and the second input signal from each of the first input signal and the second input signal.

3. The demultiplexing device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a storage in which connection information indicating the input destination and configuration information indicating configuration of each of the first input signal and the second input signal are stored in association with each other,

wherein the configuration information extracted from each of the first input signal and the second input signal and configuration information stored in the storage unit are compared with each other, and

wherein, when a part of the extracted configuration information is different from a part of the stored configuration information, the connection information is updated at a part related to a different part of the compared configuration information while being kept unchanged at a part related to a remaining unchanged part of the compared configuration information.

4. A multiplexing device comprising:

a first multiplexer configured to multiplex a first input signal having a first data rate;

a second multiplexer configured to multiplex a second input signal having a second data rate that is different than the first data rate; and

a switching circuit configured to set an input destination of signals multiplexed and output by one of the first multiplexer and the second multiplexer to the other one of the first multiplexer and the second multiplexer, based on whether the first data rate is higher than the second data rate or the second data rate is higher than the first data rate.

5. A demultiplexing method by a demultiplexing device including a first demultiplexer configured to demultiplex a first input signal having a first data rate and a second demultiplexer configured to demultiplex a second input signal having a second data rate that is different than the first data rate, the demultiplexing method comprising:

setting an input destination of signals demultiplexed and output by one of the first demultiplexer and the second demultiplexer to the other one of the first demultiplexer and the second demultiplexer, based on whether the first data rate is higher than the second data rate or the second data rate is higher than the first data rate.
