1. An imaging system, comprising: a timing generator providing an imager clock signal having an imager clock rate and a video clock signal having a video clock rate greater than the imager clock rate; an imager having an imager clock input receiving the imager clock signal and a data output; and a rate converter, coupled to the data output of the imager and to the timing generator and receiving the imager clock signal and the video clock signal, the rate converter receiving imager data at a rate synchronous to the imager clock rate and outputting video data at the video clock rate.
