ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM WITH MULTIPLE CONNECTION INTERFACES TO INTERFACE WITH DIFFERENT VIDEO DATA SIGNAL SOURCES

Endoscopes having a tip section with viewing elements coupled to a CMOS image sensor and/or a CCD image sensor for transforming light captured by the viewing element into digital and/or analog signalsare described. A main connector is coupled with the tip section for transmitting the signals to a main control unit of the endoscope. The main connector includes a pad for transmitting digital signals provided by the CMOS image sensor to a push pin probe in a receptacle of the main control unit. The main connector also includes another interface for transmitting analog signals to the main controlunit. 本发明描述了内窥镜，其具有末端部分，所述末端部分具有被联接至CMOS图像传感器和/或CCD图像传感器的观察元件，所述CMOS图像传感器和/或CCD图像传感器用于将所述观察元件捕获的光转化成数字和/或模拟信号。主连接器与所述末端部分相联接以用于将所述信号传输至所述内窥镜的主控制单元。所述主连接器包括垫片，其用于将由所述CMOS图像传感器提供的数字信号传输至在所述主控制单元的插座中的推针探针。所述主连接器还包括另接口，其用于将模拟信号传输至所述主控制单元。
