An imaging apparatus allows a clock data recovery device to reestablish reception of data even when the clock data recovery device has failed to lock a phase. A reception unit includes a locking unit configured to perform a locking operation for receiving the data and a detection unit configured to detect a lock state of the locking unit. A control unit controls performing of the locking operation again by the locking unit in a case where a lock is not achieved, based on a detection result detected by the detection unit.

The video signal combining device includes: multiple memory parts each having multiple line memories and respectively acquiring line data of video signals respectively input from multiple input terminals and sequentially writing and storing the acquired line data into the line memories, a reading control part sequentially reading the line data from any one of the line memories in a first-in-first-out manner, and a data output part outputting video combining data in which the line data read by the reading control part is connected. The reading control part reads the line data from determined one of the line memories based on a storage state of the line data in the line memories.

Provided is an image processing apparatus for correcting blinking defect noise included in image data generated by an image sensor, the image sensor including pixels arranged two-dimensionally and read-out circuits configured to read out a pixel value. The image processing apparatus is configured to: acquire noise information that associates the pixel value with positional information of the read-out circuits or positional information of each of the pixels, and with feature data related to blinking defect noise attributed to the read-out circuits; determine whether the blinking defect noise occurs on a pixel of interest based on the noise information; calculate candidate values indicating a correction amount for correcting the blinking defect noise based on the noise information and a pixel value of the pixel of interest if the blinking defect noise occurs; and correct the pixel value of the pixel of interest based on the candidate values.
