The present invention, sealed video optical unit (3, 4) is arranged, and a video endoscope having an endoscope mirror axis portion (2) extending in the longitudinal direction (1), the video optical with a unit (3, 4) housing portion, housing portion, specifically, at least substantially cylindrical air-tight housing (5,6), and distally disposed entrance window (7) has an objective lens (9, 10), an imaging device unit (11), one or more signal lines (14,15-15 , 17) and the said housing (5, 6), the outside coating tube of the endoscope mirror axis portion (2) (33), is connected by fixed so as to rotate, the imaging device unit (11), the housing (5, 6) within the endoscope rotatably mounted around the longitudinal axis of the shaft portion (2) has at least one imaging device (13), about the video endoscopes. The present invention further relates to a video endoscope system. The video endoscope according to the present invention (1), in order to rotate the imaging device unit (11), outer ring magnet (47) or the external magnet ring, the outer ring magnet (47) or magnet ring inner ring magnet is connected in operational force (49) or magnetic coupling having an inner magnet ring (45), that are arranged in the region of the distal end of the endoscope mirror axis portion (2) I is characterized. The inner ring magnet (49) or magnet ring is disposed inside the housing portion, connected to said image sensor unit (11), the outer ring magnet (47) or magnet ring on the outside of the housing portion are placed and connected to the torsional stiffness delivery tube disposed on the outside of the housing portion (35), the transport tube, for coating tube of the endoscope (1) (33), attached to the rotating , and is connected to the rotary device at the proximal end of the endoscope (1)本発明は、密閉されたビデオ光学ユニット(3、4)が配置された、長手方向に延在する内視鏡軸部(2)を有するビデオ内視鏡(1)であって、前記ビデオ光学ユニット(3、4)は収容部を備え、収容部は、具体的には、少なくとも実質的に円筒状の気密ハウジング(5、6)であり、遠位に配置された入口窓(7)と、対物レンズ(9、10)と、撮像素子ユニット(11)と、1つ以上の信号線(14、15-15’’、17)とを有
