Endoscope signal processing apparatus
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An endoscope signal processing apparatus comprising:
- a single endoscope connecting portion to which a first endoscope and a second endoscope is selectively connected;
a first video signal generating circuit for generating a first video signal in association with a first image capturing device which has a first pixel count and which is mounted in the first endoscope connected to the endoscope connecting portion, the first video signal reflecting the first pixel count;
a second video signal generating circuit for generating a second video signal in association with a second image capturing device which has a second pixel count different from the first pixel count and which is mounted in the second endoscope connected to the endoscope connecting portion, the second video signal offering a resolution different from that of the first video signal and reflecting the second pixel count;
a single video signal output connector that selectively outputs one video signal selected from the first video signal and the second video signal to an exterior; and
a single housing in which the endoscope connecting portion, the first and second video signal generating circuits, and the single video signal output connector are provided.

Abstract
An endoscope signal processing apparatus has a first video signal generating circuit and a second video signal generating circuit which respectively generate a first video signal and a second video signal offering different resolutions depending on a first image capturing device and a second image capturing device respectively which are mounted in an endoscope removably connected to an endoscope connecting portion. The first and second video signals can be selectively output to an exterior through a common video signal output connector.
