What
Is
the
CDTV™
/P?
Years
of
effort
in
the
professional, education and consumer
markets have culminated
in
the
development
of
the
Commodore® CDTV
/P,
the
first major step
in
the integration
of
the
computer and video worlds. The CDTV /P is a new
digital product capable of playing disks associated with
CD-ROM technology. CD-ROM disks offer huge information
storage capacity - over 250,00 pages (almost 700 million
bytes) per disk, and the CDTV/P gives you the ability to access
that
storage capacity quickly and easily.
With the CDTV/P's sophisticated multimedia capabilities, you
have
the
power to interact with and manipulate extremely
large amounts
of
audio, graphic, computer and video
information. These capabilities make
the
CDTV /P ideally
suited for training courseware and presentations delivery.
Yet
the
CDTV /P is easy to use, functioning
much
like a standard
remote-controlled CD player.
Using
the
keyboard, mouse and floppy disk drive, the CDTV/P
also functions as a powerful personal computer, offering the
true
multitasking and sophisticated sound and graphics
features
of
the Amiga line. Virtually anything you can do
with
a standard Amiga® 500'" computer you can
do
with
the
CDTV/
P.
Because the CDTV/P features an open-architecture design,
it
is
also easy to expand and can grow with you as your needs and
capabilities expand. For instance, you can install optional
devices like a genlock to process video images or a
SCSI
adapter to add external devices.
