The Intervision 2001 is one of the many systems "software-compatible" with the [Arcadia 2001](/museum/emerson-arcadia-2001/) or the MPT-03 systems to name a few.
|
||
|
||
Though, the Emerson Arcadia 2001 is the maybe most popular system of this console group, it was not necessarily at the origin of it. Things must be seen differently. Philips / Signetics developped a hardware platform to demonstrate the possibilities of their Signetics 2650 & 2636 chipsets. Somehow, this hardware was licenced to many third-companies around the world resulting in systems like the [Interton VC-4000](/museum/interton-vc-4000/), [Voltmace DataBase](/museum/voltmace-database-games-computer/), [Acetronic MPU-1000](/museum/acetronic-mpu-1000-2000/), Radofin 1292, etc. Most electronic boards of these systems were build in Asia by companies such as Radofin or Soundic.
|
||
|
||
Some times later, the hardware was improved, with the use of a Signetics 2637 instead of the 2636 (handling the audio & video), somehow resulting in a new wave of licenced systems, all based on the same hardware and playing the same games. This is what is the Intervision 2001. This console group includes : the [Emerson Arcadia 2001](/museum/emerson-arcadia-2001/), [Advision Home-Arcade](/museum/advision-home-arcade/), MPT-03 systems, M1800 systems, Tele-Fever, etc.
|
||
|
||
All these systems (based on the 2650 & 2637 chipsets) are "software-compatible" with each others. It means that they all could play each other games if their cartridge slots were identical (which is not the case, resulting in sub-groups).
|
||
|
||
The Intervision 2001 was marketed at least in Finland and Switzerland. It's very similar to the Sheen Home Video Centre 2001 (Australia) and the [Ormatu Video Spelcomputer 2001](/museum/ormatu-electric-bv-ormatu-video-spelcomputer-2001/) (Netherlands). These two use the same plastic case and have M1800 motherboards.
|
||
|
||
The Intervision 2001 is equiped with two detachable controllers made of a screwable analog joystick and a 14-buttons keypad (rubber buttons). Small plastic layers were delivered with each game, explaining the different key functions when placed over the keypads (like with the [Mattel Intellivision](/museum/mattel-electronics-intellivision/)).
|
||
|
||
The Control panel is made of 4 buttons (Start, Clear, Select A and Select B) and the power switch.
|
||
|
||
The Intervision 2001 was followed by an [Intervision 3001](/museum/intervision-3001-home-video-centre/) model which look similar in every points. Maybe there is a difference on the motherboard. Can anyone confirm this ?
