Abstract: A transmitting device in accordance with the present invention includes an encoding unit that converts an input video signal into encoded data and sends out the encoded data to a transmission line, and a synchronization signal generation unit that generates a synchronization signal SYNC for adjusting the phase of an input video signal on the basis of phase information transmitted through the transmission line, wherein the phase information PHS includes information indicating that a timing of a synchronization signal generated by the synchronization signal generation unit is to be advanced by the time necessary for transmission, and the synchronization signal generation unit generates the synchronization signal SYNC so that an input video signal is advanced by the time necessary for transmission.
