APPLICATIONS

Integrated Control Systems

The RS-232 protocol allows for extensive control and status
information for any RS-232 capable control system. The DV­D6500 offers complete transport and menu commands, as well
as controls to defeat the front panel or IR codes. Return
information includes transport status, timer readouts (disc or
track/chapter), and the type of disc inserted.

The RS-232 specification is available by contacting TASCAM
directly. The document offers explanations of the code
structure for those who want to build logical assemblies. It also
fixed code listings for those who want to use a more simplistic
code structure.

Home, Boardrooms, Lecture Halls, etc

The DV-D6500 is a friendly player for installations. It reads
CD-R, CD-RW and DVD-R media. This is important in the
presentation market, since most discs used in these
environments will contain materials created by the presenter on
recordable media.

When operating the DV-D6500 via IR control, the front panel
readout is large and bright enough to be read easily from across
the room.

Electronic Billboards & Kiosks

The DV-D6500 is well equipped for the electronic signage
applications. The multitude of output options, as well as the
ability to defeat front panel control and/or IR control make this
ideal for these situations. The DV-D6500 can automatically play
the disc inside it when turned on.
