1. A moving image transmission system comprising a transmission terminal and a reception terminal that are connected to one another over a communication link, wherein
the transmission terminal includes:
an image capture unit that obtains a moving image; and
a transmission unit that transmits the moving image to the reception terminal,
the reception terminal includes a region-of-interest designation unit that designates a specific region of interest in the moving image, and
the transmission terminal:
further includes an image processing unit that creates a modified moving image that is obtained by performing, based on information about the region of interest, a process of cutting out a moving image in the region of interest from a raw moving image obtained by the image capture unit or a process of lowering a quality of a moving image in a region other than the region of interest from a quality of the raw moving image; and
uses the transmission unit to transmit the modified moving image to the reception terminal;
both or any one of the transmission terminal and the reception terminal further includes a bandwidth measurement unit that measures a bandwidth of the communication link, and
the reception terminal further includes a support unit that provides a user interface supporting designation of the region of interest in accordance with the bandwidth of the communication link, wherein the support unit displays a frame enclosing a maximum area within which transmission in original quality of the raw moving image is allowed in accordance with the bandwidth of the communication link, and allows an operator of the reception terminal to select, within the frame, a portion to be specified as the region of interest.
