Abstract

An image-capturing device includes: an image sensor that captures an image of a subject to output an image-capturing signal; a development processing unit that generates development data based on the image-capturing signal; and an output control unit that outputs the development data to an external device in a predetermined transmission format via a connecting member that connects the image-capturing device to the external device. The output control unit outputs the image-capturing signal to the external device via the connecting member in the predetermined transmission format.

Claims (24)

1. An image-capturing device, comprising:

an image sensor that captures an image of a subject to output an image-capturing signal;

a development processing unit that generates development data based on the image-capturing signal; and

an output control unit that outputs the development data to an external device in a predetermined transmission format via a connecting member that connects the image-capturing device to the external device, wherein:

the output control unit outputs the image-capturing signal to the external device via the connecting member in the predetermined transmission format, and

the output control unit arranges:

a first pixel data in at least one field on the predetermined transmission format for outputting the development data; and

a second pixel data in the at least one field corresponding to a position of the first pixel data in the development data for outputting the image-capturing signal.

2. The image-capturing device according to claim 1 , wherein:

a pixel data a container position in a case where the image-capturing signal is output using the predetermined transmission format is included in pixel data container positions of the development data in a case where the development data is output using the predetermined transmission format.

3. An image transmission recording system, comprising:

the image-capturing device according to claim 1 ; and

an image recording device, wherein:

the image recording device is the external device connected to the image-capturing device via the connection member and records the development data and the image-capturing signal output from the image-capturing device.

4. The image-capturing device according to claim 1 , wherein:

a plurality of channels are provided on the predetermined transmission format;

the at least one field includes a plurality of fields respectively assigned to different channels among the plurality of channels; and

the output control unit arranges the second pixel data to be divided in the plurality of fields.

5. The image-capturing device according to claim 1 , wherein:

the output control unit arranges:

a third pixel data in another field different from any of the plurality of fields on the predetermined transmission format for outputting the development data; and

a fourth pixel data in the another field corresponding to a position of the third pixel data in the development data for outputting the image-capturing signal.

6. The image-capturing device according to claim 5 , wherein:

the output control unit arranges dummy data in the another field as the fourth pixel data.
