Abstract: A control apparatus to control a plurality of process executing apparatuses, the control apparatus including: a communication unit; and a processor. The processor transmits a request to execute predetermined processing common to the process executing apparatuses, a request to change to an energy saving mode, and a request to change to a normal mode, to each of the process executing apparatuses via the communication unit, and performs control of transmission of the request to execute the predetermined processing, the request to change to the energy saving mode, and the request to change to the normal mode, such that one of the process executing apparatuses executes the predetermined processing while a rest of the process executing apparatuses is in the energy saving mode, and such that all the process executing apparatuses execute the predetermined processing in sequence.

Abstract: An imaging control apparatus includes: a processor; and a radio communication unit capable of selecting a first transmission mode and a second transmission mode, the first transmission mode involving wireless data transmission to each of a plurality of imaging apparatuses with reception of a receipt acknowledgement from the imaging apparatuses, the second transmission mode involving simultaneous wireless data transmission to the imaging apparatuses without reception of the receipt acknowledgement from the imaging apparatuses. The processor performs a communication controlling step involving, in the case of instructing at least one simultaneous shooting process to the imaging apparatuses, separately transmitting each piece of shooting preparation instruction data instructing shooting preparation to each of the imaging apparatuses in the first transmission mode, and then simultaneously transmitting shooting instruction data to the imaging apparatuses in the second transmission mode.

Abstract: A receiver sets a storage capacity to be assigned for each connected digital camera based on the number of connected digital cameras, and allocates these storage capacities in a buffer. Also, the receiver sends a request for a through image for each frame to each of the connected digital cameras, receives through images transmitted in response to the requests, and stores the through images in areas of the buffer assigned for each of the digital cameras. Furthermore, after receiving the through image for one frame from each digital camera, the receiver performs image processing on each through image and causes these images to be displayed in a list form on one screen of the display section.
