Claim One:
1. A network image-synthesis display system, comprising: a plurality of cameras; a plurality of transmission units provided corresponding to the cameras, for performing by way of a network, multicast transmission of camera images being shot by the cameras; a plurality of image processing units for receiving the camera images, and for synthesizing their respective display images from the camera images; a plurality of display units provided corresponding to the image processing units, for displaying said display images; and a synthesis-parameter calculation unit for calculating, corresponding to each of the image processing units, a synthesis-parameter composed of an image-selection parameter designating a combination among the camera images from the plurality of transmission units and an image processing parameter specifying contents of image-synthesis processing, and for transmitting by way of the network the synthesis-parameter to the image processing units; wherein the image processing units each perform, based on the image-processing parameter, the synthesis processing of camera images, among those from the transmission units, designated by the image-selection parameter, to produce said display images, whereby the synthesis processing of said display images is performed being distributed to the plurality of image processing units.
