There is provided an information processing apparatus including a data encoding unit that generates an encoded signal by encoding first input data based on CMI (Coded Mark Inversion) coding rules and encoding second input data using errors of the CMI coding rules, a clock signal addition unit that generates a transmission signal by synchronously adding a clock signal having an amplitude value larger than that of the encoded signal to the encoded signal generated by the data encoding unit, and a signal transmission unit that transmits the transmission signal generated by the clock signal addition unit.
