Clock synchronization and presentation synchronization are appropriately achieved in the case where transmission is performed by carrying, on a broadcast signal, a transmission media packet obtained by fragmenting transmission media such as video and audio.A clock of 27 MHz synchronized with time information acquired from a time information server is generated. Time information including frequency information of the clock of 27 MHz and synchronized with the time information acquired from the time information server is generated. A transmission medium is encoded. The encoded transmission medium is fragmented in a predetermined unit, and a transmission media packet including each fragment is generated. A stream that includes, on time division basis, the transmission media packet, a packet including the time information, and a packet having a control signal is carried on a broadcast wave and transmitted.
