Patent ID: RE44924

Claim:
A digital observation system comprising: a digital camera including: a charge coupled device (CCD) image sensor memory adapted to store video data; a CCD image sensor adapted to transmit the stored video data in analog RGB color space format native to the CCD image sensor (analog RGB data), wherein the CCD image sensor comprises the CCD image sensor memory; a correlated double sampling (CDS) circuit adapted to receive the analog RGB data from the CCD image sensor and convert the analog RGB data into digital RGB data, wherein the CDS circuit is operably coupled to the CCD image sensor; and a physical interface adapted to receive the digital RGB data and transmit the digital RGB data with reduced operational overhead and increased operational functionality, wherein the physical interface is operably coupled to the CDS circuit; a programmable logic device (PLD) adapted to delay one line of the digital RGB data when a transmission error correction occurs; and a base unit including: a base unit physical interface adapted to receive the digital RGB data with the reduced operational overhead and the increased operational functionality from the digital camera physical interface; a base unit programmable logic device (PLD) operably coupled to the base unit physical interface; and a display adapted to display the digital RGB data with reduced operational overhead and increased operational functionality, wherein the display is operably coupled to the PLD.
