A Video camera with digital video output and external serial control interface has been developed. Two programmable digital signai processors provide output image format flexibility although an ordinary CCD imager which is used in consumer-use camcorders is utilized in it. The pixel's aspect ratio of output image which has the sampling structure of YUV 4:2:2 is selected as square and it can be directly connected to the frame buffer of the PC's or workstations. The system's operating parameters such as zoom ratio and white balance condition are fully controllable through a serial interface compatible to RS-232C of PCs and workstations.
