Abstract
A video processing system (10) is provided that comprises an image sensor image area (14) that operates to transfer an image to an image memory (18) to be processed by a video processor (16). The exposure length of the image is controlled by an iris controller (24) which comprises a signal decoder (30). An IMAGE CLEAR signal is juxtaposed with an IMAGE TRANSFER signal to set the length of the exposure. The IMAGE CLEAR signal is generated by an iris counter (36) and an iris signal decoder (34). The maximum count used by the iris counter (36) is set using a count length set circuit (38) which receives command signals generated by monitoring the video output.
