Abstract:
1. An image data receiving apparatus comprising: a first receiving section that receives a first signal from an image pickup apparatus, the first signal including serial data that is converted from image data obtained as a result of an image of an object being picked up by the image pickup apparatus, based on an operation clock according to a predetermined clock signal; a second receiving section that receives a second signal from the image pickup apparatus, the second signal including second serial data that is different from the serial data included in the first signal, the second serial data being converted from a second clock signal generated according to the clock signal; a first serial/parallel conversion section that converts the serial data included in the first signal received by the first receiving section into first parallel data and outputs the first parallel data; a second serial/parallel conversion section that converts the second serial data included in the second signal received by the second receiving section into second parallel data and outputs the second parallel data; a bit drift amount detecting section that obtains information indicating a degree of drift of each bit value included in the second parallel data outputted from the second serial/parallel conversion section from each corresponding bit value in a predetermined bit pattern, based on the second parallel data outputted from the second serial/parallel conversion section and the predetermined bit pattern; and a bit shifting section that performs bit shifting of the first parallel data outputted from the first serial/parallel conversion section according to the information obtained from the bit drift amount detecting section.
