Abstract
An integrated audio/video sensor is provided. The integrated sensor comprises an image-receiving module for sensing a light of an image, a sound-receiving module for sensing a sound and a signal-transforming module for integrating image and sound signals into an audio/video signal. The integrated sensor integrates image and sound together simultaneously and synchronously. Furthermore, the integrated sensor can be connected directly to an image-processing system. The integrated sensor not only provides excellent synchronization of audio and video signals, but also reduces the size and cost of producing the integrated sensor as well.
