Abstract

PURPOSE:To constitute the system inexpensively by providing a center and sending a demand fresh signal representing retransmission from the initial state to a picture compression transmitter of a conference room subject to change when the conference room having been detected is subject to change. CONSTITUTION:The system is provided with a center 20. When a conference room once detected by a detection means 21 is subject to change, a demand fresh signal transmission means 23 sends a demand fresh signal representing retransmission from the initial state to a picture compression transmitter 10 of the conference room subject to change so as to reproduce a signal with a picture compression receiver even when the picture compression transmitter 10 is replaced. Thus, the cost is reduced more than that of a conventional multi- point conference system.
