    摘要: This video system includes a camera system and a video converter. The camera system includes an image pickup unit that captures a subject and obtains a pixel signal thereof, and a first processing circuit that generates two video signals from the pixel signal while respectively carrying out mutually-different adjustments and transmits transmission information obtained by adding information related to the respective adjustments of the video signals to one of the video signals. The video converter extracts the information related to the respective adjustments of the video signals from the transmission information and includes a second processing circuit that generates, on a basis of these pieces of information related to the adjustments, a restoration pixel signal by inverse-transforming one of the video signals included in the transmission information, and also generates a video signal corresponding to the other one of the video signals by performing an adjustment for the other one of the video signals on this restoration pixel signal.

    摘要: Presence or absence of a photon is accurately detected in an image sensor with a simple configuration. A pixel circuit generates as an input voltage a signal voltage by photoelectrically converting light when the light is incident, and generates as the input voltage a predetermined reset voltage when light is not incident. A capacitor retains the predetermined reset voltage as a retained voltage. An amplification comparator amplifies a voltage difference between the input voltage and the retained voltage. A detection comparator outputs a result of determining whether or not the amplified voltage difference is higher than a predetermined value, as a detection signal indicating detected presence or absence of light incidence.

    摘要: An imaging apparatus includes a pixel region having a plurality of unit pixels arranged in a matrix, each of the unit pixels including first and second photoelectric conversion units, a reading controller configured to read first signals obtained by mixing signals output from the first and second photoelectric conversion units in rows of a first reading mode and read second signals at least including signals of the first photoelectric conversion units and third signals at least including signals of the second photoelectric conversion units in rows of a second reading mode, and an OB clamp processor configured to correct signals in the unit pixels included in an opening region in the pixel region based on signals output from the unit pixels included in a light shielding region in the pixel region. The OB clamp processor performs one of various correction processes depending on an imaging condition.
