See full text

A multiple sensor endoscope system includes daisy chained image sensors and a central control unit. At least one daisy-chained image sensor has a sensor array for capturing images and generating video packets from captured images, a video compression unit that compresses the video packets, a self-packet buffer that stores the video packets, a serial-to-parallel de-serializer input unit that converts serialized input video packets to parallel data, and a chain packet buffer that stores the video packets received from previous-in-chain image sensors.
