Abstract:
The problem of the present disclosure relates to enabling smooth communication of high-image-quality video content between apparatuses. A video communication device including: a communication unit that receives, from one or more video processing devices, device information of each of the one or more video processing devices; and a determination unit that determines, on the basis of one or more pieces of device information received by the communication unit, whether or not each of the one or more video processing devices has a high image quality function, the high image quality function being a function that supports any of high image qualities of 4K or more, in which the communication unit transmits video content having the high image quality to a video processing device that has been determined by the determination unit to have the high image quality function.
