It is possible to perform excellent reproduction regardless of whether or not a reception side supports a high frame rate. Image data of pictures configuring moving image data are classified into a plurality of layers, the classified image data of the pictures of each of the layers is encoded, and a video stream including the encoded image data of the pictures of each of the layers is generated. A container of a predetermined format including the generated video stream is transmitted. Time correction information for correcting a decoding timing is inserted into the encoded image data and/or a packet containing the encoded image data in association with each of the encoded image data of the pictures of a predetermined layer or a layer lower than the predetermined layer.
