Claim 9:
10. A medical observation system comprising:
a medical imaging device configured to image a subject and outputs video data; and
a control device configured to connect with the medical imaging device, the control device including:
a generation circuitry configured to output a field signal to the medical imaging device;
a first detection circuitry configured to detect a horizontal synchronization signal from video data output from the medical imaging device, the video data including at least the horizontal synchronization signal;
a monitoring circuitry configured to monitor whether or not an abnormality occurs in one frame period of the video data based on a period of the horizontal synchronization signal detected by the first detection circuitry for a predetermined n-th time after polarity of the field signal is switched; and
a controller configured to
acquire an identification signal for identifying a type of the medical imaging, device, and
determine based on the identification signal whether or not a vertical synchronization signal is included in the video data.
