Abstract

An endoscope video apparatus has an endoscope including a solid-state image sensor, for outputting an endoscopic image signal, a video processor for processing the image signal supplied from the solid-state image sensor and outputting a video signal, an image file unit for recording the video signal, and an input section for inputting retrieval data corresponding to the video signal recorded in the image file unit. A control section discriminates the presence/absence of retrieval data input from the input section. A control circuit operates an alarm unit by discrimination data representing the absence of retrieval data.
