Abstract
Multiplexer according to the present invention includes: an input unit to which a plurality of image signals based on a first data communication standard are input, the image signals being acquired by respective imaging devices; an output unit that outputs an image signal based on a second data communication standard having a data transfer rate lower than that of the first data communication standard; and a storage unit that temporarily buffers the image signals input from the input unit. With such a multiplexer, it is possible to collectively convert the image data acquired by a plurality of imaging devices adopting a certain data communication standard into another data communication standard and suppress the data transfer delay caused by the conversion.
