VIDEO TRANSMITTER, VIDEO TRANSMISSION METHOD, AND PROGRAM

A video resolution acquisition unit (121) acquires the resolution of a video signal by using a video transmitter, a video transmission method, and a program. A wireless unit (15) including an antenna unit (154) wirelessly transmits a video signal, and wirelessly receives the received signal strength and the minimum reception sensitivity when a video signal is wirelessly received from a terminal that wirelessly receives a video signal transmitted wirelessly. A communication rate setting unit (141) sets the communication rate when a video signal is wirelessly transmitted in response to the resolution of the acquired video signal. A transmission output controller (151) wirelessly transmits a video signal to a wireless unit (15) at a communication rate set by the communication rate setting unit (141) and restricts the wireless transmission output of the wireless unit (15) when the set communication rate is lower than a first specified value, and when the difference between the received signal strength and the minimum reception sensitivity of the signal wireless received by the wireless unit (15) is at least a second specified value.
