<p>An integrated processing box performs processing commonly to a plurality of input devices, a plurality of output devices, or a plurality of storage devices. For example, the integrated processing box performs noise reduction processing on data received from an input device or a storage device, or data supplied to an output device or a storage device. The integrated processing box also performs processing, for example, temporal/spatial processing or grayscale processing, adaptively to each type of input devices, each type of output devices, or each type of storage devices. Accordingly, if the input device is, for example, a video camera, the video camera is formed only by a CCD, a sample-and-hold circuit for sampling and holding the output from the CCD, an AGC circuit for adjusting the gain of the output from the sample-and-hold circuit, and an A/D conversion circuit for converting the analog output of the AGC circuit into a digital output. That is, it is possible to form the video camera without modules performing defect correction for the pixels of the CCD, ³ correction, color matrix conversion.</p> |
