Video recognition processing on stereoscopic video signals input from an outside is performed. Hence, a video reception device which is configured to transmit and receive data through a communication network includes an input unit, a video extraction unit, a stereoscopic signal generator which is a video signal generator, and a control unit. The stereoscopic signal generator generates, from a partial video extracted by the video extraction unit, stereoscopic video signals of a single method or a plurality of methods different from that of the partial video. The control unit generates content recognition information from at least one of the partial video and the stereoscopic video signals generated by the stereoscopic signal generator, and requests a video recognition device to perform video recognition processing on the content recognition information.
