13. The data transmitting apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the transmitter transmits the packet including the plurality of sub packets to the data receiving apparatus for a horizontal blanking interval.

14. The data transmitting apparatus as claimed in claim 13, wherein the horizontal blanking interval comprises a data island period.

15. A data receiving apparatus, comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a packet including a plurality of sub packets; and

a packet parsing unit configured to perform parsing on the received packet,

wherein each of the plurality of sub packets includes audio data corresponding to content among a plurality of contents respectively corresponding to a plurality of different views of video content, and

wherein the packet comprises an identifier identifying a view, among the plurality of different views, corresponding to the plurality of sub packets.

16. The data receiving apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein the received packet includes a header,

wherein the header includes one of a stream present bit indicating whether or not each of the plurality of sub packets includes the audio data and a stream flat bit indicating whether or not the audio data included in each of the plurality of sub packets is effective data.

17. The data receiving apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein each of the plurality of sub packets stores a portion of the audio data.

18. The data receiving apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein the audio data includes audio signals of two channels or more.

19. The data receiving apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein the audio data complies with an international electrotechnical commission (IEC) 60958 format.

20. The data receiving apparatus as claimed in claim 15, wherein the packet comprises 4 sub packets.
