A video endoscope system for displaying image data to a user comprises an endoscope device for coupling to a video system. The endoscope device has a proximal end coupled to a handle and a distal end and includes a digital imaging chip and an illuminating device associated with said endoscope, said illuminating device for illuminating an area to be viewed, and said digital imaging chip for picking up reflected light from the area and for generating image data. The image data are wirelessly transmitted as an ultra-wide band signal format to a video system for display to a user (Fig. 1).
