In a video signal transmitting device, a basic image generation unit extracts, for each of the color signal component, pixels constituting a frame of the color signal component at a uniform interval two-dimensionally and two-dimensionally arranges the extracted pixels in a prescribed arrangement to generate a prescribed number of color signal basic images. A basic stream generation unit extracts, for each of the color signal basic images, pixels of the color signal basic image generated by the basic image generation unit in a prescribed sequence to generate a basic stream. A link signal generation unit synthesizes a prescribed number of basic streams in the same or different color signal components generated by the basic stream generation unit, encodes bit-length units of the synthesized basic streams to a different bit length, and generates a link signal having a prescribed speed.
