CDTV the wait new is over! Commodore finally stop crying wolf and unveil a CD player that thinks it's an Amiga, as Eddie McKendrick reports MONTHS of speculation about Commodore's fledgling multimedia product CDTV are finally over. On Tuesday April 30 Commodore officially introduced their Dynamic Total Vision to the world. Due to go on sale later this year with a price tag of around £700, CDTV is similar in appearance to a standard compact disc player, but it is capable of a vadety of Interactive leisure and educational applications. With the CDTV, users will be able to simultaneously call up video images, text, graphics and stereo audio through a simple infra-red remote control unit. The greatest potential for CDTV lies in the educational field where programs are being developed which exploit the machine's multimedia capability, A Commodore spokesman explained: "You can call up a picture of the African bush containing a number of wild animals. "Using the control unit you can then select one of the animals and up on screen comes a detailed picture with descriptive text and the sound of the particular animal or a commentary." A pilot scheme underway with Derbyshire County Council is using CDTV to teach Japanese to local schoolchildren. As well as hearing the spoken language, children are able to see pictures depicting Japanese WHAT'S culture. As no keyboard is necessary, CDTV can be operated by people with no previous keyboard experience. curv exploits the technology Delivering the goods Independent research commissioned by Amigo Computing has revealed that major High street outlets do not expect to have large stocks of Commodore's CDIV home entertainment system until October. Despite the official launch our survey showed that CDTV is likely to be a slow starter with one retail chain expecting only small stocks by mid-May and others still in the dark about availability. Information for the buying public is woefully inarkquate. Under the guise of a customer keenly interested in buying CDTV, our researchers contacted approved stockists Dixons, John Lewis and Comet. Sales staff in one major Dixons CUR/ may outlet thought COW was 'a sort of television" while staff at another branch asked: 'Is it some kind of games consoler Neither had any knowledge of availability. A third Dixons store said they had no idea when they would get CDTV but they would try and order it while the manager of a fourth be here as far as Cornmodore is concerned, but no-one has • gh Street t o of CD-ROM (compact disc read only memory) using discs with a storage capacity equivalent to around 720 floppy disks our about 250,000 pages of text. outlet said: 'We've got it in our price list but because of pre -delays I don't think we will have it in stock until October." production A spokesman at Dixons head office said: "We have no information on when this will be available but we hope it will be within the next month. We are just waiting for Commodore, but the price has been fixed at L599,99." Our researchers drew a complete blank at the John Lewis store in London's Oxford Street. Even when given a description of the new machine, a senior member of staff said they had no knowledge of it. "It's not on our list for this half-year. Maybe we will have it next halt" was the reply. Over at Comet, staff in two retail outlets referred us to head office where a spokesman said: "We will have CDTV in some of our selected outlets by mid -expect to have it generally available until May October. b It uwill t cost (599,99.' w e c e r t a i d n l y Amiga Computing 9 T 1
