Abstract

A monitor apparatus includes: a display panel that displays a medical image; an as-viewed output terminal capable of outputting a video signal reflecting a same color set value as a color set value reflected in the medical image displayed on the display panel; a communication unit that detects device information regarding an external device connected to the as-viewed output terminal; and a second color setting reflection unit capable of controlling to further change the color set value reflected in the video signal outputted from the as-viewed output terminal based on a detection result of the communication unit.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A monitor apparatus that is configured as a separate body from at least a video processor including a medical image processing section, and includes a housing in which a display section that displays a predetermined medical image is disposed, the monitor apparatus comprising:
the display section that displays a medical image; a plurality of medical image signal input sections disposed in the housing of the monitor apparatus including the display section, each of the plurality of medical image signal input sections being capable of receiving a predetermined medical image signal including a medical image signal outputted from the video processor; a signal processing section that is disposed in the housing of the monitor apparatus and applies predetermined signal processing to the medical image signal inputted to each of the medical image signal input sections, to generate a video signal to be displayed on the display section; a first color setting section that is disposed in the housing of the monitor apparatus and executes processing of reflecting a predetermined first color set value on the video signal to be displayed on the display section which has been generated by the signal processing section; a second color setting section that is disposed in the housing of the monitor apparatus and executes at least processing of reflecting a second color set value on the video signal to be displayed on the display section which has been generated by the signal processing section, wherein the second color set value is a same color set value as the first color set value in the first color setting section; a video signal output section that is disposed in the housing of the monitor apparatus, the video signal output section being connected with at least one or more external devices and capable of outputting the video signal outputted from the second color setting section; and an external device information detecting section that is disposed in the housing of the monitor apparatus and detects device information regarding a type of the external device connected to the video signal output section, wherein the second color setting section is capable of executing: first mode processing for reflecting the second color set value, which is the same color set value as the first color set value in the first color setting section, on the video signal to be displayed on the display section which has been generated by the signal processing section, to cause the video signal output section to output the video signal; second mode processing for causing the video signal output section to output the video signal to be displayed on the display section which has been generated by the signal processing section, without reflecting any color setting processing on the video signal; and third mode processing for reflecting a third color set value set according to color set value information included in the external device connected to the video signal output section, in addition to the second color set value, on the video signal to be displayed on the display section which has been generated by the video signal processing section, when the external device has a color setting function different from the first color set value, based on a detection result from the external device information detecting section, to cause the video signal output section to output the video signal.

2 . The monitor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the second color setting section includes a color set value information table including the color set value information set according to the type of the external device connected to the video signal output section, and when executing the third mode processing, the second color setting section sets the third color set value based on the color set value information in the color set value information table.

3 . The monitor apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the external device information detecting section includes a communication section for communication between the monitor apparatus and the external device, and detects the device information regarding the type of the external device through the communication by the communication section.

4 . The monitor apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising an operation section connected to the first color setting section and the second color setting section, wherein the operation section executes processing regarding the first color set value in the first color setting section and processing regarding the second color set value in the second color setting section.
