FIR-550 is s computer-controlled video information
processing system which processes facsimile
information to get a video display on a monitor CRT
screen or hard copy from a printer. Facsimile
information the FIR-550 can process includes the
meterological facsimile information transmitted in
short wave band (ground weather map, radar weather
map, forecast weather map, sea state map, sea ice
map, synoptic wave chart, etc.) and private
transmission from amateur stations.
Either a regular color or monochromatic television
set, graphic display CRT, television set equipped
with video terminals or ordinary RGB monitor (640 x
200 dots) of TTL level interface can be used for the
display monitor.
A printer can be connected to get a hard copy.
Drum speed can be set automatically by the automatic
synchronization detector.
Video signals from meterological satellites can be
displayed or printed with the gradation expressed by
8-tone display. (Artificial color display can be
obtained on an KGB color monitor.)

adjustment of the video monitor or other equipment by
installing optional TEST chips.
Signal reception can be monitored by the built-in
audio monitor at a desired volume.
