A video transmission method according to the present disclosure includes: generating a transmission signal including, in a time series, first video data having a first luminance dynamic range and second video data having a second luminance dynamic range wider than the first luminance dynamic range; and transmitting the transmission signal generated. In the generating of the transmission signal, a signal level corresponding to a luminance value is limited to a value lower than a limit value that is predetermined, in a transition period provided for switching from one of the first video data and the second video data to the other.
