Abstract
An electronic endoscope system has a plurality of video-processors, a plurality of video-scopes, a selector, a monitor and an input device. The plurality of video-processors, the monitor and the input device are connected to the selector. Each of the plurality of video-processors processes image signals from the corresponding video-scope to obtain and output video signals to the selector. The selector selects one of the plurality of video-processors and feeds video signals from a selected video-processor to the monitor. The input device operates the selected video-processor.
