Electronic endoscope system
First Claim
1. An electronic endoscope system, provided with an image-signal processing unit that processes image signals obtained by a scope which is connected to said image-signal processing unit attachably and detachably, and at least one outputting device that is connected to said image-signal processing unit in order to output said image signals, said electronic endoscope system comprising:
- an outputting device specifying tool that specifies the model of said at least one outputting device;
a database in which characteristic data concerning output characteristics of each model of said at least one outputting device are stored; and
an image-signal compensator that obtains said characteristic data from said database based on the model specified by said outputting device specifying tool, and compensates said image signals using said obtained characteristic data.

Abstract
An electronic endoscope system is provided with an outputting device specifying tool and a database having tables. In the tables, compensation data, for compensating image signals generated by the system in accordance with outputting devices, are recorded. When the model of outputting device is specified by the specifying tool, the tables are searched using the name of the specified model of outputting device as a search key, so that compensation data for compensating the image signals in accordance with the characteristics of the connected outputting device can be obtained. The image signals are output to the connected outputting device, after being compensated based on the compensation data.
