Control DVD and other IR devices with pushbuttons or RS-232. The VC-16b Pushbutton DVD controller series was originally created as a Wired Remote for interactive DVD exhibits and displays because there was no easy way to make DVD players interactive for the public. (Giving a hand-held remote to each visitor would be a bad idea!)
MSRP: $ 525.00

Introduction
If you plan your exhibit with a DVD that uses standard user navigaton (Up, Down, Left, Right, Enter/Go/OK), then you don't need this section. Just attach 5 buttons to the appropriate connections and you're underway. If, however, you want a specific button to play a particular scene/segment then there are some considerations.

The Pioneer DVD-V7400 has been replaced by the DVD-V8000. It and the PRV-LX1 were the first truly Industrial DVD players and recorders. They offer both Infrared and Serial control, and that's good because BCD Wired Pushbutton Controllers come in both IR and Serial models !
