An electronic endoscope selector is used in an electronic endoscope system
which shares peripheral devices, such as a TV monitor, VCR etc., among a
plurality of electronic endoscopes. The electronic endoscope selector
includes switching circuits for switching and selecting video signals and
synchronizing signals fed from one of the plurality of electronic
endoscopes in the system. The selector also has ON/OFF switches and a
timer. The ON/OFF switch controls output of the selected video signals.
When the switching circuits switch between the plurality of electronic
endoscope and switch video signals and synchronizing signals to that of a
newly selected electronic endoscope, the output of video signals are
suspended during a predetermined period, by the timer. The synchronizing
signals are output simultaneously with the above switching.
