Abstract
A video-scope according to the present invention has an image sensor and is selectively connectable to plural types of video-processors. The video-scope has a memory, a signal processor, a video-processor detector, and a data setter. The memory stores a series of register setting data, which is associated with signal processes for image signals, read from the image sensor, and which corresponds to the plural types video-processors. The signal processor is provided in the video-scope and processes the image signals. The video-processor detector detects the type information of the connected video-processor. Then, the data setter reads the register setting data corresponding to the detected type information from the memory, and writes the register setting data in a register provided in the signal processor. The signal processor processes the image signals in accordance with the register setting data in the register.
