<p>An image pickup system includes an image pickup unit (42) having a solid-state image pickup device (44), for example, CMOS. A processor (11) controls the image pickup device and receives an image signal (SDT) from the image pickup unit with a signal line (49) in serial transmission. The processor includes a clock and data recovery circuit (79) for deriving a clock signal (RCLK) from the image signal input by the signal line, and for producing a data signal (RSDT) synchronized with the clock signal in phase synchronization. There is a signal processing unit (81-83) for signal processing according to the data signal and the clock signal produced by the clock and data recovery circuit. Preferably, the image pickup unit includes an A/D converter for digitally converting the image signal from the image pickup device into parallel data of bits of a predetermined number.</p> |
