Patent ID: 7859593

Claim:
An imaging block comprising; a prism configured to separate light incident through a lens into at least two colors and output the light; a first imaging device and a second imaging device each configured to generate a video signal by photoelectrically converting the separated light output from the prism; an analog/digital converter configured to convert the video signal output from each of the first imaging device and the second imaging device into a digital signal; a timing generator configured to generate video-signal processing clock for driving the first imaging device, the second imaging device, and the analog/digital converter; a first circuit board on which the first imaging device is mounted; a second circuit board on which the analog/digital converter and the timing generator are mounted; and a third circuit board, on which the second imaging device is mounted, connected to both the first circuit board and the second circuit board through a cable, wherein the first imaging device mounted on the first circuit board and the second imaging device mounted on the third circuit board are fixed to output surfaces of the prism, wherein the second circuit board is arranged so that a surface of the second circuit board is substantially perpendicular to a surface of the first circuit board and a surface of the third circuit board, and wherein the analog/digital converter and the timing generator are mounted on another surface of the second circuit board opposite to the surface of the second circuit board on the side where the first circuit board and the third circuit board are arranged.
