Abstract:
In an imaging apparatus, a first conversion unit multiplexes input signals including control signals for driving an image sensor to generate a multiplex signal having a frequency higher than those of the input signals. A transfer unit transfers the multiplexed signal generated by the first conversion unit according to low-voltage differential signaling. A reception unit receives the multiplexed signal from the transfer unit. A second conversion unit extracts the control signals for driving the image sensor from the multiplexed signal received by the reception unit. A third conversion unit performs at least one of correction processing and development processing on a signal generated by the image sensor. A signal generation unit generates and supplies processing timing control signals to the first conversion unit and the third conversion unit.
