A control cable extension unit for a pan/tilt camera is used between the pan/tilt camera and a pan/tilt camera controller and is connected via a coaxial multiplex communication cable to the pan/tilt camera and is further connected via a control cable to the pan/tilt camera controller. The extension unit includes a signal input section to which the pan/tilt camera controller supplies a control signal, a signal processing section for processing the control signal supplied to the signal input section, delivering various commands for operating the pan/tilt camera a signal output section for transmitting the commands delivered by the signal processing section on the basis of a synchronizing signal to the pan/tilt camera during a blanking period in which no video signal is generated by the pan/tilt camera.
