Abstract: An imaging apparatus for performing efficient signal processing depending on the operational mode. In the finder mode, a CCD interface 21a decimates horizontal components of image data supplied from an image generating unit 10 to one-third and moreover processes the decimated image data with data conversion and resolution conversion to produce Y, Cb and Cr image data which are routed to and written in an image memory 32 over a memory controller 22. In the recording mode, the CCD interface 21a causes the image data from the image generating unit 10 to be written in the image memory 32 via memory controller 22 after decimation and gamma correction etc. The camera DSP 21c reads out the image data via memory controller 22 from the image memory 32 to effect data conversion for writing the resulting data via memory controller 22 in the image memory 32.

Abstract: In an imaging apparatus, an image is to be displayed in real-time on a finder. In the finder mode, a CCD interface 21a thins out horizontal components of image data supplied from an image generating unit 10 to one-third and also effects gamma correction etc to send the resulting image data to a camera DSP 21c. The camera DSP 21c effects data conversion and resolution conversion on the image data resulting from the thinning to convert the data into Y, Cb and Cr image data which is routed to a memory controller 22. The memory controller 22 writes the image data in the image memory 32 and reads out the data from the memory controller 22 to route the read-out data over an image data bus 33 to an NTSC/PAL encoder 23. The NTSC/PAL encoder 23 converts the image data in resolution and further converts the image data into data of the NTSC or PAL system to route the resulting data to a finder.

Abstract: A vehicular information storage device includes an EEPROM, an extracting device which processes and extracts vehicle information, a determination device which determines from among regions set beforehand the region of the extracted information, and a counting device for incrementing a counter in correspondence with the region determined by the determination device. The needed information is extracted properly at a predetermined period along with the determination of the region where such information belongs. Further, the EEPROM used by the system is composed of three data regions with all three data regions set to a reset state at an initial state. The data regions are decremented sequentially at a minimum period required by a measurement parameter. Since updating from "1" to "0" is possible for individual cells and there is no need for resetting, processing time is reduced. Also, when data in one of the data regions is determined to be irregular due to, e.g.

Abstract: A gain control circuit in which a switch is provided in series with a capacitor in a time constant circuit so that, under control of a controller, the switch is closed in its own signal reception and opened in an idle time other than the signal reception to perform gain control, whereby the capacitor can independently hold a signal reception level at the time of its own previous signal reception regardless of monitoring signal reception during the idle time.
