Claim Text:
1. An endoscopic arrangement comprising: a first distal end; an imaging device arranged at the first distal end, the imaging device having at least two digital data outputs, each of the at least two digital data outputs outputting a digital output signal; a first signal converter combining the digital output signals from each of the at least two digital data outputs of the imaging device into a digital combined output signal; a first proximal end for connection to a supply unit; and a data transmission element embodied as a light guide and having a second distal end and a second proximal end, the data transmission element comprising an electro-optical converter optically coupled to the data transmission element at the second distal end, the electro-optical converter configured to convert the digital combined output signal generated by the imaging device into an optical signal, wherein the first signal converter is located between the imaging device and the electro-optical converter arranged at the first distal end of the endoscopic arrangement.
