PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve the transmission of a large capacity video signal at low cost without performing complicated signal processing and to suppress an adverse effect on image quality due to the occurrence of errors.
SOLUTION: A video bit string separation unit 11 of a video signal transmission device 1-1 separates multiple pieces of bit data constituting video data, i.e. a video signal, according to the quality of transmission paths 30-1 to 30-N in accordance with a preset rule, and generates N (N systems of) bit strings so that bit data at an upper-level side corresponds to a high-quality transmission path, and bit data at a lower-level side corresponds to a low-quality transmission path. Packet conversion units 12-1 to 12-N convert the bit strings into packet signals with transmission frame structure suitable for communication methods of the corresponding transmission paths 30-1 to 30-N. Transmission path encoding units 13-1 to 13-N apply transmission path encoding suitable for the communication methods of the corresponding transmission paths 30-1 to 30-N to the packet signals.
