  • Patent number: 10412341
    Abstract: An image display device includes a communication device transmits a transmission request to each of the image transmission devices and receives a frame including differential data transmitted by each image transmission device in response to the transmission request. A measurement unit measures, for each image transmission device, a first required time interval, which is the time required from the start of transmission of the transmission request until the start of reception of the frame, and a second required time interval, which is the time required from the start of reception until the completion of reception of the frame. A control unit causes transmission requests to be sent to each of the image transmission devices at predetermined transmission intervals, causes measurement unit to measure the first and second required time intervals, and changes the transmission interval of the transmission request based on the measurement results.
