Abstract

An information processing apparatus, information processing method, and program are disclosed. In the information processing apparatus, circuitry is configured to transmit an input command to at least one of a plurality of imaging devices that are associated with the information processing apparatus, the command being executable as a synchronous operation or an asynchronous operation based on information relating to at least one of the imaging devices. The information may, for example, be the number of the imaging devices to which the input command is transmitted. In that example, when the number of the imaging devices is below a threshold amount, the input command is transmitted as the synchronous operation, and when the number of the imaging devices is above the threshold amount, the input command is transmitted as the asynchronous operation.
