- the processor 13 includes a foot switch (F S) 103, light source 104, etc. are connected.
- the communication control unit 102 determines a timing at which communication with a peripheral device becomes possible, and image data is transmitted from the antenna 12 based on this timing.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a configuration example of the wireless unit 106, and includes a compression Z decompression unit 201, an interface Z control unit 202, and a UWB transmission / reception unit 203.
- a compression / decompression method in the compression Z decompression unit 201 for example, JPEG 2000 is used with emphasis on the real-time property of image processing.
- the interface Z control unit 202 switches image data and control signals to be communicated, and controls the UWB transmission / reception unit 203 and the compression / decompression unit 201.
- FIG. 5 is a timing chart for explaining a procedure when the processor 13 transmits an image signal to a peripheral device.
- an image signal is captured in accordance with a synchronizing signal output at a predetermined time interval in the vertical blanking period of scanning.
- a compression process is performed on the image signal. This compression process causes a predetermined compression delay in the image signal.
- control signals are sequentially output.
