PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electronic endoscope device suitable for observing a subject image continuously even when a trouble occurs in a processor.SOLUTION: An electronic endoscope device is composed of a primary signal processing circuit for subjecting a pixel signal output from an image pickup device of an electronic scope to signal processing and generating an image signal, a secondary signal processing circuit for subjecting the image signal output from the primary signal processing circuit to image processing, and generating a video signal, a plurality of insulation transmission means including at least one normal insulation transmission means for transmitting the image signal from the primary signal processing circuit to the secondary signal processing circuit in an insulated manner in a normal state, and transmission determination means for determining whether or not the normal insulation transmission means can transmit the image signal. Based on the result of the determination by the transmission determination means, the primary signal processing circuit changes a method for transmitting the image signal to the secondary signal processing circuit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2018,JPO&INPIT【課題】プロセッサに不具合が発生した際にも、被写体像を継続して観察するのに好適な電子内視鏡装置を提供する。【解決手段】電子内視鏡装置を、電子スコープの撮像素子から出力される画素信号に対して信号処理を施して画像信号を生成する一次信号処理回路と、一次信号処理回路から出力される画像信号に対して画像処理を施して映像信号を生成する二次信号処理回路と、通常状態において一次信号処理回路から二次信号処理回路へ絶縁して画像信号を伝送する少なくとも一つの通常絶縁伝送手段を含む、複数の絶縁伝送手段と、通常絶縁伝送手段が画像信号を伝送可能か否か判定する伝送判定手段と、から構成する。一次信号処理回路は、伝送判定手段による判定結果に基づいて、二次信号処理回路への画像信号の伝送方法を変更する。【選択図】図1
