An image data transmission system reduces a delay resulting from compression processing of image data. The image data transmission system comprises cameras (1, 2, 3) for compress encoding image data and transmitting compress-encoded image data, a decoder (7), a control device (6), monitors (8, 9), and a LAN (5). Upon selection of a camera (1, 2, 3) from the control device (6) for control, the control device (6) acquires information on capabilities of the cameras (1, 2, 3) through the LAN (5). When a function which is affected by a delay due to the compress-encoding is used from among functions of the controlled camera, compress-encoding that reduces the delay is performed in the camera (1, 2, 3). <IMAGE> |
