Abstract
A vieweras a compact display device displays a body cavity image picked up by a capsule endoscope. When a communication-cable connection detectordetects a communication cable connection between a receiving apparatusand the viewer, a control unitswitch controls a changeover switchbased on this connection detection, thereby switching a display of an LCDto a display of image data from wire. Next, information necessary for an examination such as image data is taken in from the receiving apparatusvia a communication cable, and is displayed in an LCD. With this arrangement, a display unit is not necessary in the receiving apparatus, and a circuit configuration becomes simple. The receiving apparatus can be made compact and light, and power consumption can be decreased.
