IMAGE INPUT UNIT
First Claim
1. An image sensing apparatus sensing an image to supply to an information processing device, said apparatus comprising:
- a camera unit; and
a base unit connected to the camera unit, the base unit having;
signal processing means for performing a process to supply an image signal from the camera unit to the information processing device; and
timing control means for controlling a timing in which the image signal is supplied from the camera unit to the information processing device.

Abstract
A PC card camera has a structure in which a universal joint to which a video camera is attached is mounted on a PC card body. The video camera comprises an optical lens unit and a solid-state area sensor of the photoelectric transducer type. The universal joint holds the video camera in such a manner that the angular position thereof can be adjusted freely with respect to the PC card. The PC card body is provided with a guide for guiding the card into a slot provided in a personal computer, a connector for connecting the PC card to the personal computer, and a cut-out which prevents the PC card from being inserted incorrectly. With the PC card connected to the personal computer, the angular position of the video camera can be adjusted via the universal joint.
