Abstract:
1. A moving picture transmission apparatus, comprising: a capture unit that, divides data corresponding to one picture of a moving picture into a plurality of line blocks including a predetermined number of pixel lines, and captures each line block of the plurality of divided line blocks as a data block; a compression rate setting unit that dynamically sets a compression rate of the data block based on a capture time of the data block; and a transmission unit that compresses the data block at the set compression rate and transmits the compressed data block to a reception apparatus through a transmission path; wherein the capture unit and the transmission unit perform a series of processes including the capture and the transmission of each data block of a plurality of data blocks in parallel, while shifting only a time required for the capture, and wherein the compression rate setting unit sets the compression rate of a first data block of the plurality of data blocks, corresponding to the one picture to be lower than the compression rate of a second block data of the plurality of data blocks, wherein the first data block is captured later than the second data block in an order of the capture.
