Abstract: Disclosed herein is a transmission system including a digital transmission path configured to transmit a digital video signal outputted from an imaging apparatus to a processing apparatus that executes one of processing and relaying of a video signal received from the imaging apparatus, an analog transmission path configured to transmit an analog reference signal outputted from the processing apparatus to the imaging apparatus, a command superposing block in the processing apparatus configured to superpose, at an analog level, each bit of command data for commanding the imaging apparatus in other than a section in which a synchronous signal component of the reference signal is included, a digital conversion block configured to digitally convert an analog-level signal of each bit of a command included in a reference signal received via the analog transmission path in the imaging apparatus, and an imaging control block configured to control an imaging operation.

Abstract: Disclosed is an image data processing apparatus including a brightness detection part, a moving average calculation part, a change quantity detection part, a false correction determination part, and a correction part. The brightness detection part detects brightness of pixels in a prescribed range of each frame from image data acquired from an imaging device. The moving average calculation part calculates a moving average of prescribed cycles of the brightness to calculate a temporal average brightness value. The change quantity detection part detects a change quantity of an inclination of a waveform constituted of the temporal average brightness value. The false correction determination part determines a likelihood of false correction to the image data based on information representing a change of the inclination. The correction part corrects the image data acquired from the imaging device based on the determination result of the false correction determination part.

Abstract: There is provided an imaging device including an imaging unit that performs photoelectric conversion with respect to object light and generates a video signal, a timing generating unit that instructs the imaging unit to generate the video signal at a predetermined imaging frame rate, a time code generating unit that generates a time code to be added to the video signal, and an output signal control unit that stores the video signal and the time code added to the video signal in a memory, reads a combination of the video signal and the time code stored in the memory at a second frame rate according to a transmission frame rate for when the video signal is transmitted to an external device, and outputs the combination.
