Abstract
The analog-to-digital converter arrayincludes one analog-to-digital converterfor each row of photodetectorsin the photodetector array. The image-processing unitincludes the plurality of processing circuitsfor performing high-speed image processing. The signal convertercombines the output signals from the analog-to-digital converter arraywith output signals from the image-processing unit. Under control of the control circuitand the signal conversion controller, the signal converterdownconverts the composite signal at an important timing to a frame rate suitable for display on the monitorand subsequently displays the signal on the monitor
