ABSTRACT:
A video communication system includes a terminal unit for transmitting/receiving an information signal including video information, and a repeater to which a plurality of terminal units each identical to the terminal unit can be connected. The repeater generates a reference sync. signal for causing the plurality of connected terminal units to synchronously operate, and supplies the generated reference sync. signal to each of the plurality of connected terminal units. The repeater forms a transmission signal to be transmitted to a transmission line by synthesizing information signals respectively transmitted from the plurality of terminal units which are synchronously operating in accordance with the reference sync. signal, and outputs the formed transmission signal to the transmission line. This arrangement realizes an on-seat type multipoint video conference, at a low cost, which is held while a plurality of participants are sitting on seats, without making any preparations before the video conference, e.g., reservation of a conference room, movement to the conference room, and carrying of references.
