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.
