Introduction
------------
Thank you for chosing a product from Absolute Value Systems.
Since 1992 Pasokon TV has lead the Slow Scan revolution
with unmatched features, performance, and ease of use, all at
an affordable price.
Software Features:
------------------
- "User friendly" graphical user interface with mouse and
keyboard operation.
- Sends and receives the widest range of SSTV modes:
Robot, Martin, Scottie, AVT, Wraase, and new
high resolution 480 line modes.
- 640 x 480 resolution with 16 million colors for
dazzling images.
- Built-in paint program for adding simple graphics
and text to your pictures.
- Automatic receive mode selection with VIS code.
- Automatic fine tuning to compensate for signals off
frequency.
- Read and write most popular image file types:
BMP, HRZ, JPG, PCX, PNG, TGA, TIF.
- Support for most popular printers, including color.
- User defined menu items to run external programs.
- On-line help menu with dozens of topics.
Hardware Features:
------------------
The Pasokon TV Classic interface offers many advantages over
the simple one chip interfaces connected to a serial port.
- Built-in receive audio filter to dig signals out of
the noise.
- Hardware assist for more accurate demodulation.
- On-board crystal oscillator for precise timing.
- Relay for push to talk (PTT) and transmit audio switching.
- Interface fits inside computer eliminating the need for
extra boxes, power supplies, and cables.
- Does not tie up a serial or printer port.
- FCC Class B certified for minimum RFI.
Requirements:
-------------
To use Pasokon TV version 3, you need a transceiver and an
IBM PC-compatible computer with:
- 486 or higher Processor.
- 8 megabytes of memory.
- Color VGA display. Any one will work but for best results
it should have at least 1 megabyte of video memory
and be capable of 32k or more colors at 800 x 600
resolution.
- Mouse.
- About 16 megabytes of free disk space.
- An empty standard (ISA) expansion slot.
- An unused interrupt (IRQ).
This will not run at all on a 286 computer. Although it is
possible to run with a 386 or only 4 megabytes it is very
slow. For best results you will want a 486 and at least 8
megabytes of memory.
Installation uses less than 1.5 megabytes of disk space. When
running the program, about 15 megabytes should be available
for temporary files.
