Provided is an IP uncompressed video encoder whereby an uncompressed video IP packet stream is converted to a compressed video IP packet stream. The present invention is a video encoder which generates a compressed video stream in IP packet form from a stream wherein an uncompressed video signal is converted into an IP packet form, comprising: a receiving means for receiving over a network one or a plurality of streams wherein an uncompressed video signal is converted into the IP packet form; an extraction means for extracting video data from the one or the plurality of streams wherein the uncompressed video signal is converted into the IP packet form; a compression means for compressing the extracted video data; and a transmission means for converting the video which is compressed by the compression means into the IP packet form to create and transmit a compressed video stream.
