Abstract
In an imaging system, an image transmission circuit is configured to output image data to a signal line in a first mode. A signal reception circuit is configured to receive a clock control signal for adjusting a frequency of a camera clock from an image reception unit in a second mode. A signal output circuit is configured to output a first electric potential and the clock control signal to the signal line. The first electric potential corresponds to a signal level that is not included in a range of a signal level of the image data output to the signal line. A communication control circuit is configured to switch communication modes from the first mode to the second mode when the communication control circuit detects the first electric potential in the first mode.
