text: Canon also produced a very interesting video interface but also very expensive. Indeed it cost more than 2000 fr! But thanks to it, it was possible to use the Canon X-07 with a television or a monitor, and to have a new text mode of 40 X 24 and a new graphic mode of 256 x 192 with 6 colors ! Fantastic !

In fact the optical transmitter makes it possible to connect the Canon X-07 to another computer (Canon X-07, Canon V-20...) or any other machine via the X-722 RS-232C converter, without any wire and up to 5 meters ! All the communications are made through infra-red signals, excellent !
Moreover the thing looks like a large futuristic joystick... The signals sent by the X-721 are "serial asynchronous signals" compliant. For the software, the signals are handled just as it was an access to the serial port. The X-721 is connected to the X-07 as indicated on the picture above.

In addition, Info-systèmes sold at the same time (at the beginning of 85) an Eprom memory board 32k ROM making it possible to definitively back up BASIC or language machine programs. The access times were in between 250 and 450 nanoseconds which was not fantastic even at that time, since it was slower than the hard disks and disk drives. And it cost 1450fr!
The two boards could be connected through the X-07 extension port via a 40 pins flat cable.

This splendid unit includes a cardio-frequencymeter which records your heartbeats and that you wear on a belt around your body. The signals are sent by a small transmitter to a computer-watch which you carry around your wrist (that sounds normal for a watch...), and which stores these signals in its 2k memory. At any time, one can re-examine the evolution of the cardiac effort during the training. The watch can also transfer the data to the Canon X-07. Thus, it's possible to print the data on the small plotter, and to compare them with the oxygen consommation compatible with the provided effort.
This cute little unit was manufactured in Finland by Polar Electronic. The watch was sold in France for only 2250 Fr and the whole watch-computer-interface-printer unit for 17 760 francs in 1985!
