Laser audio-video player "Kolibri VP-101" was released by an experimental batch in 1997 by the Izhevsk Mechanical Plant. The fate of this device is rooted in the end of perestroika, in the program of conversion of the defense industry of the USSR. It was then, in the early 90s, that a licensed assembly of the Belgian audio and video player "Philips CDV-496" was organized at a military factory in Sverdlovsk (UEMP). At about the same time, at another secret enterprise: the 300th production of Izhevsk Mechanical Plant, it was decided to copy the foreign apparatus, adapting it to the domestic element base. The release of the player was planned to begin in 1993. Then the collapse of the USSR struck, and the financing of the enterprise was curtailed. However, the project is somehow not closed. The main work on the perspective apparatus was carried out in 1992 ... 1994th years. And only in 1997, when most of the Russian electronics industry was already in ruins, an experimental batch of the Kolibri VP-101 player was released. Components were used both domestic and imported (in a ratio of about 50/50). Separate blocks were not just copied from Philips, but were developed from scratch in Izhevsk. The player had great features and wide functionality. Supported playback formats are LaserDisc (CAV and CLV), CDVideo, and CDAudio. The display was carried out both on the multifunction display on the front panel and on the TV screen (on-screen menu). A remote control was provided; player memory could store user-programmed playlists; there were other functions typical of the audio and video players of the time. Video playback was carried out in the PAL system, horizontal resolution of 420 lines. The range of reproducible sound frequencies is 20 ... 20000 Hz, the noise / signal ratio is at least 72 dB. Power consumption 60 W, dimensions of the device 420Ñ…110Ñ…410 mm, weight 10 kg.
