<p>It is possible to provide a novel CCD camera capable of being connected to a PC, an HDD, or the like compatible with a host SATA by using a simple configuration. A SATA camera system (10) includes a camera module (12) and a SATA camera interface (27) and can be directly connected to a computer (72) or a hard disc drive (74) compatible with SATA. The SATA camera interface (27) has at least an FPGA (28), an image memory (76), and a PATA-SATA converter (58). The FPGA performs conversion of a video signal when writing/reading a digital video signal from the camera module into/from the image memory (76). The PATA-SATA convert (58) converts the parallel type video signal into a serial type video signal which can be transmitted to the computer (72) or the hard disc drive (74) compatible with the SATA.</p> |
