Abstract

A transmission system includes: a first timing signal generation unit; a second timing signal generation unit; a timing adjustment unit; a transmission processing unit; a first valid data generation unit which receives a first timing signal, receives only data according to valid timing of the first timing signal in a first image signal from a process signal to generate a first valid image signal, and receives only data according to valid timing of the first timing signal in a second image signal and a second timing signal from the process signal to output the received second image signal and the received second timing signal; and a second valid data generation unit which receives the second timing signal from the first valid data generation unit and receives only data according to valid timing of the second timing signal in the second image signal to generate a second valid image signal.

Claims (11)

1. A processing device comprising:

a processor comprising hardware, wherein the processor is configured to:

acquire an imaging signal representing an image captured inside an object;

generate first and second image signals based on the imaging signal;

receive the first image signal having the highest clock rate among the first and second image signals and generate a first timing signal representing valid timing and invalid timing of the first image signal;

receive the second image signal having a resolution different from the first image signal and generate a second timing signal representing valid timing and invalid timing of the second image signal, each valid timing of the second timing signal being synchronized with the valid timing of the first timing signal;

receive the first timing signal and the second image signal and output the second image signal based on the first timing signal,

perform a transmission process comprising receiving the first and second timing signals and the first and second image signals and individually outputting the first timing signal and a process signal including the first and second image signals and the second timing signal,

perform a first valid data generation comprising receiving the first timing signal from the transmission process, receiving only data according to valid timing of the first timing signal in the first image signal from the process signal to generate a first valid image signal, and receiving only data according to valid timing of the first timing signal in the second image signal and the second timing signal from the process signal to output the received second image signal and the received second timing signal; and

receive the second timing signal from the first valid data generation and receive only data according to valid timing of the second timing signal in the second image signal to generate a second valid image signal; and

apply a signal process for display image to the first and second valid image signals.
