摘要： An intended-usage judger judges an intended usage of an inputted digital imaging signal. A selector selects one or a plurality of signals to be inspected from a group of signals constituting the digital imaging signal based on a result of the judgment by the intended-usage judger. A phase adjuster adjusts a phase of a pulse used when the digital imaging signal is picked up based on an output state of the signal to be inspected.
