Abstract
A video camera is comprised of a camera unit having a signal processing circuit supplied with an imager signal from its imager device and which converts the imager signal to a digital video signal and a viewfinder having a decoder supplied with the digital video signal from the signal processing circuit of the camera unit through a bus and which decodes the digital video signal to provide a signal which is to be displayed on a display device as an image. Thus, the quality of image displayed on the display device can be improved comparatively and the arrangement of the video camera can be simplified.
