Camera system, camera head and camera main frame

摘要

A plurality of sorts of camera heads being different from one another in specification of the imaging device is each provided with JPEG compression section so that the camera head outputs an image signal, which is subjected to a JPEG compression in compression rate of the mode "fine", in form of a predetermined format. The provision of a camera main frame, which is capable of performing an image processing through entry of the signal subjected to the JPEG compression in compression rate of the mode "fine", makes it possible to implement a camera system capable of performing the image processing by the JPEG compression and expansion section and the signal processing section of the camera main frame regardless of the camera head.
