Endoscope apparatus which controls clamping of optical black included in an image pickup signal |
摘要 |
An endoscope apparatus has a clamp circuit that clamps an image pickup signal that is obtained by picking up of an image with a CCD at timing that is specified with an optical black pulse, an image processing section that applies various kinds of signal processing to the image pickup signal that is outputted from the clamp circuit to convert the image pickup signal into a video signal, and a timing generator and a control section that change a phase of the optical black pulse in response to a kind of an endoscope or a length of an insertion portion. |

1. An endoscope apparatus in which an endoscope having an insertion portion including an image pickup device at a distal end is connected to a processor apparatus, the endoscope apparatus comprising:
a clamp circuit that clamps optical black included in an image pickup signal that is obtained by picking up of an image with the image pickup device at timing that is specified with an optical black pulse; an image processing section that applies various kinds of signal processing to the image pickup signal that is outputted from the clamp circuit to convert the image pickup signal into a video signal; a phase changing section that changes a phase of the optical black pulse, in response to a kind of the endoscope or a length of the insertion portion; and a position adjusting section that adjusts a position where an effective pixel of the image pickup signal is acquired, in response to the kind of the endoscope or the length of the insertion portion. |
