TRANSMISSION APPARATUS, RELAY APPARATUS AND RECEPTION APPARATUS

[Object] To propose a novel and improved transmission apparatus, relay apparatus, and reception apparatus that have improved quick response performance involved in content processing. [Solution] According to the present disclosure, there is provided a transmission apparatus including: a storage unit configured to store first encoded data used for playback at first quality and second encoded data used for playback at second quality higher than the first quality, for same temporally continuous content; and a communication unit configured to transmit the first encoded data to a reception apparatus, and thereafter, receive first position information relating to a data position from the reception apparatus, and transmit a portion of the second encoded data corresponding to the first position information to the reception apparatus.
