図3に示した例では、送信器100のLD(レーザダイオード)101-1とケーブル300のコネクタCN1とが接続され、受信器200のPD(フォトディテクタ)201-1とケーブル300のコネクタCN1とが接続されている。また、送信器100のLD101-2とケーブル300のコネクタCN2とが接続され、受信器200のPD201-2とケーブル300のコネクタCN2とが接続されている。このような状態はコネクタの上下向きが正常な状態である。なお、送信器100は、「フレーム生成装置」として機能し得る。また、受信器200は、「信号抽出装置」として機能し得る。
続いて、コネクタの上下向きが逆の状態について説明する。図7は、本実施形態に係る画像伝送システムの構成の他の一例を示す図である。図7に示した例では、送信器100のLD101-1とケーブル300のコネクタCN1とが接続され、受信器200のPD201-2とケーブル300のコネクタCN1とが接続されている。また、送信器100のLD101-2とケーブル300のコネクタCN2とが接続され、受信器200のPD201-1とケーブル300のコネクタCN2とが接続されている。このような状態はコネクタの上下向きが逆の状態である。
以上説明したように、本開示の実施形態によれば、所定のデータ容量をフレーム単位とするフォーマットにより映像音声信号から1以上の映像音声フレームを生成するフレーム生成部104-1と、所定のデータ容量と同一のデータ容量をフレーム単位とするフォーマットにより制御信号から1以上の制御フレームを生成するフレーム生成部104-2と、を備える、フレーム生成装置100が提供される。かかる構成によれば、映像音声フレームと制御フレームとでフォーマットが共通化されることによって、コネクタの上下向きを逆にしても、コネクタを介して映像音声信号および制御信号を伝送することが可能となる。
