A signal processor includes a mapping unit configured to map an 8K or 4K video signal onto first data streams, prescribed by a predetermined format, of plural channels, and a multiplexer configured to generate plural first data blocks by scrambling the first data streams of either odd-numbered or even-numbered channels, first bits by first bits, invert the polarity of data blocks which are part of the first data blocks, generate plural second data blocks by 8B/10B-converting the first data streams of the other channels, second bits by second bits, and generate serial second data streams of plural lanes by multiplexing the first data blocks and the second data blocks. The processor is applicable to a broadcasting camera, for example.

The present invention discloses an image data transmission apparatus. The lock confirmation circuit receives an original signal having an original pulse width from the image data reception apparatus to generate an output signal. The image data transmission circuit determines that the image data reception apparatus locks a transmission frequency when an output pulse width is larger than a pulse threshold value to perform a synchronous image data transmission. The lock confirmation circuit sets the output pulse width to be a lengthened pulse width when a difference between the original pulse width and the pulse threshold value is smaller than a predetermined value and the original pulse width is not smaller than the pulse threshold value. The lock confirmation circuit sets the output pulse width to be a shortened pulse width when the difference is smaller than the predetermined value and the original pulse width is smaller than the pulse threshold value.
