To provide a technique which does not use a complicated mechanical structure and keeps a static eliminating function without being deteriorated even by repeated use.SOLUTION: A processor according to the present disclosure is, for example, a processor that is connected to an endoscope and processes an image sent from the endoscope. The processor comprises: a connector part to which the endoscope is connected; a front panel that has an opening portion for exposing the connector part to the outside; and a metallic lightning protection member that is provided near the connector part and grounded. The lightning protection member is disposed at a position where it is never in contact with the connector terminal of the endoscope inserted into the connector part.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】複雑なメカ的機構を使用せず、かつ繰り返しの使用によっても除電機能を劣化させずに保持する技術を提供する。【解決手段】本開示によるプロセッサは、一例として、内視鏡が接続され、内視鏡からの映像を処理するプロセッサであって、内視鏡が接続されるコネクタ部と、コネクタ部を外部に露出させるための開口部を有するフロントパネルと、コネクタ部近傍に設けられ、接地された金属製の避雷部材と、を備える。そして、当該避雷部材は、コネクタ部に挿入される内視鏡のコネクタ端子とは常に非接触となる位置に配置されている。【選択図】図５
