Provided is clock signal outputting device that is connected, via a signal transmission line, to the leading end of an endoscope which is inserted into a subject and captures images of the inside of the subject, and that outputs a clock signal which serves as an operation reference for the leading end of the endoscope. The clock signal outputting device includes: a signal generating unit that generates a clock signal; an amplifying unit that amplifies the amplitude of the clock signal to a set value; and an amplitude restricting unit that restricts the amplitude of the clock signal to a restricted value less than the set value by changing an upper limit and a lower limit of the clock signal amplified by the amplifying unit, and that outputs the clock signal. |
