An ultrasonic endoscope system is provided with an endoscope processor for producing an endoscopic image from an image signal obtained through a CCD, and an ultrasonograph processor for producing an ultrasonographic image from an echo signal received on an ultrasonic transducer. The processors are connected to a peripheral equipment control unit through USB, and the peripheral equipment control unit is connected to peripheral equipments through USB. The peripheral equipment control unit consists of a CPU and three USB controllers for controlling the USB connections to the processors and the peripheral equipments individually. The peripheral equipment control unit operates as a host to the peripheral equipments, and as a device to the respective processors. The processors are connected to a filing device through Ethernet, and to a movie recorder through IEEE1394 bus.
