A first controller synthesizes image output of a CCU and a cursor created based
on trigger information from a second controller, following location information.
The synthesized image is displayed on a first monitor, so an endoscope image and
a cursor image which moves synchronously with the cursor image on a display device
can be simultaneously viewed at the surgery room side on a single monitor, and
accordingly, the problem of the working space inside the surgery room becoming
crowded due to providing multiple observation monitors in the surgery room does
not occur.
