Control DVD/CD/VCR/TV for Biofeedback Training

This product is no longer recommended. Please use Cogni Video instead.

	FMP Front View Threshold Control Knob: adjust threshold for sound/silence discrimination. Also used to select logic input (open/closed circuit) if available. Audio Detect: lighted when sound or logic 'closed' detected. IR In: Used to train system to understand signals from virtually any remote control. Power: Lighted when power is on. Power is from USB port.
	FMP Rear View USB Connector: Connect to PC using provided cable. Used for Power as well as setup and configuration using Windows-based applet. Control Out: When detecting sound/silence, this output can be used to control other equipment, including Cognisys Biofeedback Video Mux or Bio Pad. Test: Pressing this button simulates toggle from Play to Pause. Audio/Logic In: Connect to PC sound output port, or to logic ("Switch") output from other equipment (like Thought Technologies). IR Out: This LED must be positioned to shine at the IR input of the DVD player.
BioMedia Application Screenshot Purpose: Allows super easy setup and configuration from your windows PC. Capture: Capture Infrared Communication from almost any remote control and saves it in nonvolatile memory in the device. Many sequences are available for quick loading from your PC disk. Configuration: Invert threshold, Enable input as logic or sound, and minimum hold times can be configured here. Soft Control: Override the front panel knob and submit manual control values. Run Mode: Follow Input (Play/Pause exactly as input signal dictates) or Follow Edge (Temporarily pause whenever Play-to-pause transition is seen, then play). This is a new feature, only available here!

Features:

• Biometric equipment can control PLAY or PAUSE state of a conventional DVD, CD or VCR player.
• Videos are fun for subjects to watch during training instead of boring computer displays. Thousands of titles available at your video store... or make your own!
• Interfaces with virtually any biofeedback equipment that includes a general-purpose relay (open-circuit vs. conduction) output OR sound output.
• Tested with:
  • Thought Technologies ProComp+ Equipment. (Under "Feedback Option" set "Use Switch Control".)
    • Direct connection is available BUT only one parameter can be thresholded at a time.
    • Audio interface will work for multiple parameters and thresholds.
  • Thought Technologies Infiniti Platform (Pre-canned screens are available. Directly connectable.)
