Disclosed is an electronic endoscope system which includes an endoscope unit having a solid-state imaging element which captures an image of an object and outputs an image signal, and a signal processing unit which receives the image signal from the imaging element and generates a plurality of digital video signals having different signal formats. The signal processing unit may have a plurality of signal output ports for outputting the plurality of digital video signals having different signal formats, respectively. Alternatively or optionally, the signal processing unit may have at least one signal selector which selects one of the plurality of digital video signals having different signal formats, and at least one output port through which the one of the plurality of digital video signal selected by the signal selector is output.
