Abstract

Abstract In a system for transmitting a video signal obtained by a camera to a discrete device either via a recording/reproducing system or via a transmission line, an image processing system includes a circuit which is arranged within the camera to generate a photo-taking state signal indicating information on aberrations in particular; and a correction circuit which is arranged within a device for reproducing or receiving the video signal to correct the aberrations of the video signal in accordance with the photo-taking state signal.
