a first transmitter configured to transmit the first transmission data to a receiving device through a broadcasting network; and
a second transmitter configured to transmit the second transmission data to the receiving device through an Internet Protocol (IP) network,
wherein the data generator is further configured to add the first and second time codes to the first multimedia data and the second multimedia data, encode the first multimedia data and the second multimedia data which are added with the first and second time codes, and generate the first transmission data by multiplexing the encoded first multimedia data, the first signaling data and the second signaling data.

2. The transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first signaling data comprises at least one of reproducing time information of the first multimedia data and identifier information of the first multimedia data, and the second signaling data comprises at least one of reproducing time information of the second multimedia data, receiving time information of the second multimedia data, receiving path information of the second multimedia data, identifier information of the second multimedia data, service composition information of the second multimedia data, features information of the second multimedia data, and protection information of the second multimedia data.

3. The transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the first signaling data is recorded on at least one of program and system information protocol (PSIP) and program specific information (PSI) of the first transmission data, and the second signaling data is recorded on at least one of program and system information protocol (PSIP) and a private stream of the first transmission data.

4. The transmitting device of claim 1 , wherein the second transmitter divides the second transmission data into a plurality of segments, generates information regarding a preset number of the segments, and transmits the second transmission data on a segment basis according to the information regarding the preset number of segments.

5. A receiving device, comprising:
a first receiver configured to receive first transmission data comprising first multimedia data, first time code for synchronizing second multimedia data, first signaling data regarding the first multimedia data and second signaling data regarding the second multimedia data through a broadcasting network, the received first transmission data being encoded with the first time code, the encoded first multimedia data being multiplexed with the first signaling data and the second signaling data;
a second receiver configured to receive second transmission data comprising the second multimedia data and second time code for synchronizing the second multimedia data with the first multimedia data through IP network, the received second multimedia data being encoded with the second time code, the first time code and the second time code being synchronized with each other;
a signaling data extractor configured to extract the first signaling data and the second signaling data from the first transmission data;
a signal processor configured to signal-process the first multimedia data and the second multimedia data based on the extracted first signaling data and the extracted second signaling data; and
a synchronizer configured to construct multimedia contents by synchronizing the signal-processed first multimedia data and the signal-processed second multimedia data based on the first time code and the second time code,
wherein the signal data extractor and the synchronizer are implemented by at least one processor comprising the signal processor.

6. The receiving device of claim 5 , wherein the second receiver is configured to receive information regarding segments of the second transmission data based on information in the second signaling data, and transmit the second transmission data on a segment basis based on the received information regarding the segments.

7. The receiving device of claim 5 , wherein the first time code comprises time codes added to respective image frames in the first multimedia data, and the second time code comprises time codes added to respective image frames in the second multimedia data.

8. A transmitting method of a transmitting device, the method comprising:
generating first transmission data comprising first multimedia data constituting first multimedia contents, first time code for synchronizing second multimedia data constituting second multimedia contents, first signaling data regarding the first multimedia data, and second signaling data regarding the second multimedia data;
generating second transmission data comprising the second multimedia data and second time code for synchronizing the second multimedia data with the first multimedia data, the first time code and the second time code being synchronized with each other;
transmitting the generated first transmission data through a broadcasting network; and
transmitting the generated second transmission data through an Internet Protocol (IP) network,
wherein the generating the first transmission data comprises:
generating the first time code as first synchronization information;
adding the generated first time code to the first multimedia data;
encoding the first multimedia data added with the first time code;
generating the first signaling data and the second signaling data; and
generating the first transmission data by multiplexing the encoded first multimedia data, the first signaling data and the second signaling data, and

wherein the generating the second transmission data comprises:
generating the second time code corresponding to the first time code added to the first multimedia data as second synchronization information;
adding the generated second time code to the second multimedia data; and
