Title:
ENDOSCOPY DEVICE SUPPORTING MULTIPLE INPUT DEVICES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006032013
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention provides a remote-head imaging system with a camera control unit (6) capable of supporting multiple input devices. The camera control unit (6) detects an input device to which it is connected and changes the camera control unit's internal functionality accordingly. Such changes includes altering clock timing, changing video output parameters, and changing image processing software. In addition, a user is able to select different sets of software program instructions and hardware configuration information based on the head that is attached. The remote-head imaging system utilizes field-programmable circuitry, such as field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA) in order to facilitate the change in configuration.
