The '''CDTV''' (from Commodore Dynamic Total Vision, later treated as a [[backronym]] for Compact Disc Television) is<!--Not "was"; it still exists; see MOS:TENSE. Use past tense for development history and other past events.--> a [[home multimedia entertainment]] and [[Home video game console|video game console]] – convertible into a full-fledged [[personal computer]] by the addition of optional [[Computer peripherals|peripherals]] – developed by [[Commodore International]] and launched in April 1991.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O__G_uZWSk0C&q=CDTV+launch&pg=PA62|title=Multimedia|last=Feldman|first=Tony|date=1994|publisher=Psychology Press|isbn=9781857130102|language=en}}</ref>

The CDTV was based on the same technology as earlier Amiga systems, but featured a single-speed CD-ROM drive and no [[floppy disk]] drive as standard.

Commodore marketed the machine as an all-in-one [[multimedia]] appliance. As such, it targeted the same market as the [[Philips CD-i]]. The expected market for multimedia appliances did not materialize, and neither machine met with any real commercial success.

== History ==
[[file:Commodore CDTV Setup.jpg|thumb|left|Commodore CDTV setup with 1084 monitor displaying the CDTV's audio CD player facility]]

Commodore announced the CDTV at the summer 1990 [[Consumer Electronics Show]] in Chicago, promising to release it before the end of the year with 100 software titles.<ref name="cgw19900708">{{cite magazine | url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1990&pub=2&id=73 | title=The Maturation of Computer Entertainment: Warming The Global Village | magazine=Computer Gaming World | date=1990-07-08 | accessdate=16 November 2013 | pages=11}}</ref> The product debuted in North America in March 1991 (CES Las Vegas) and in the UK ([[World of Commodore]] 1991 at Earls Court, London).<ref>{{cite web|title=The Commodore CDTV Information Center - www.cdtv.org.uk|url=http://www.cdtv.org.uk/1254.html|access-date=2010-08-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090412154630/http://www.cdtv.org.uk/1254.html|archive-date=2009-04-12|url-status=dead}}</ref> It was advertised at £499 for the CDTV unit, remote control and two software titles.<ref>{{cite web |date=1990 |title=CDTV advert: "Better Graphics.

Market competition for high-end A/V (primary market came from the [[CD-i]], the [[Pioneer LaserActive]] and the [[Tandy Video Information System]], while competition in video gaming (secondary market) came from the [[TurboGrafx-16]], [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] and [[Sega Mega Drive]], alongside the [[3DO Interactive Multiplayer]].{{cn|date=August 2025}}

The Commodore CDTV is reported to have sold 25,800 units in Germany,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Bergseth |first=M. |date=November 25, 2014 |title=AMIGA SOLD IN UNITS BY COMMODORE IN GERMANY REVEALED |url=https://distrita.com/amiga-sold-in-units-by-commodore-in-germany-revealed/ |website=Distrita - Where to Go|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170713160208/https://distrita.com/amiga-sold-in-units-by-commodore-in-germany-revealed/ |archive-date=2017-07-13 }}</ref> and around 29,000 units  in the UK.

In 1990 ''Computer Gaming World'' stated that Commodore had a poor reputation among consumers and developers, citing "abysmal record of customer and technical support in the past".{{r|cgw19900708}} The company chose Amiga-enthusiast magazines as its chief advertising channel, but the Amiga community on the whole avoided the CDTV in the expectation of an add-on CD-ROM drive for the Amiga,<ref>{{Cite web|date=1991-05-20|title=Commodore CDTV|url=https://tidbits.com/1991/05/20/commodore-cdtv/|access-date=2021-03-23|website=TidBITS|language=en}}</ref> which eventually came in the form of the [[Amiga A570|A570]]. This further hurt sales of the CDTV, as an A570-equipped A500 was electronically the same as a CDTV and, consequently, could run CDTV software, so there was very little motivation for an Amiga owner to buy a CDTV. However, [[Nolan Bushnell]], one of the chief endorsers of the CDTV, argued the system's high price alone was enough to explain its market failure: "... it's very difficult to sell significant numbers of anything at more than {{US$|long=no|500}}. ... I felt that I could sell a hundred thousand of something that costs {{US$|long=no|800}} standing on my head. I thought that it would be a no-brainer. And I can tell you that the number of units that we sold in the U.S. at {{US$|long=no|800}} you could put in your eye and not draw tears."<ref>{{cite journal|title=What the Hell has Nolan Bushnell Started? |journal=[[Next Generation (magazine)|Next Generation]]|issue=4|publisher=[[Imagine Media]]|date=April 1995|page=9}}</ref>

By 1994 ''Computer Gaming World'' described the CDTV as a "fiasco" for Commodore.<ref name="cgw199401">{{Cite magazine |last1=Miller |first1=Chuck |last2=Dille |first2=H. E. |last3=Wilson |first3=Johnny L. |date=January 1994 |title=Battle Of The New Machines |url=http://www.cgwmuseum.org/galleries/index.php?year=1994&pub=2&id=114 |magazine=Computer Gaming World |pages=64–76}}</ref> Though the company later developed an improved and cost-reduced CDTV-II, it was never released.<ref>{{cite web |date=2008 |title=Commodore CDTV-II |url=http://bboah.amiga-resistance.info/cgi-bin/showhardware_en.cgi?HARDID=34 |website=Big Book of Amiga Hardware|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303211908/http://bboah.amiga-resistance.info/cgi-bin/showhardware_en.cgi?HARDID=34 |archive-date=2016-03-03 }}</ref> Commodore discontinued the CDTV in 1993 with the launch of the [[Amiga CD32]], which again was substantially based on Amiga hardware (in this case the newer [[Amiga 1200]]) but explicitly targeted the games market.

== Design ==
[[File:Commodore CDTV.jpg|thumb|left|Close-up detail of the CDTV buttons]]

The CDTV is essentially a Commodore [[Amiga 500]] home computer with a [[CD-ROM]] drive and [[remote control]]. With the optional keyboard, mouse, and [[floppy disk]] drive, it gained the functionality of the regular Amiga.{{r|cgw19900708}}

The CDTV was supplied with [[AmigaOS 1.3]], rather than the more advanced and user-friendly 2.0 release that was launched at around the same time. Notably, the [[CDXL]] motion video format was primarily developed for the CDTV, making it one of the earliest consumer systems to allow video playback directly from CD-ROM.{{cn|date=August 2025}}

The CDTV was intended as a media appliance rather than a mainstream personal computer. As such, it came with an infrared remote control, and its housing had dimensions and styling that was comparable to most household stereo system components of the period. For the same reason, it was initially sold without a keyboard or a mouse (which could be added separately, and were later bundled with the machine).

Two versions were released:{{cn|date=August 2025}}

* CDTV: CDTV unit and remote control/gamepad
* Pro pack: CDTV unit, remote control/gamepad, keyboard, mouse and floppy disk drive, along with [[Almathera]] CDPD [[Public domain software]] compilation on CD-ROM

== Upgrades ==
[[File:CDTV Remote (cropped).jpg|thumb|CDTV [[remote control]]]]

The CDTV is compatible with many Amiga peripherals from the same period. In addition, official CDTV peripherals and upgrades included:

* Wireless [[infrared]] mouse (CD1252)
* Wireless [[trackball]]
* Black styled keyboard
* [[SCSI]] controller providing both an internal and external SCSI connector for [[hard disk drive]]s and other SCSI devices
* External black styled hard disk drive<ref>{{cite web |title=Commodore's CDTV External Harddrive |url=https://www.cdtv.org.uk/harddrive.html |website=The Commodore CDTV Information Center|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050317024916/https://www.cdtv.org.uk/harddrive.html |archive-date=2005-03-17 }}</ref>
* External black styled floppy disk drive (CD1411, an FB-354C)
* Proprietary memory cards with a capacity of 64 or 256 KB (CD1401/CD1405) allowing storage of game scores and progress<ref>{{cite web |last=Ewaniuk |first=Darren |date=July 5, 1997 |title=CDTV Technical Information by Darren Ewaniuk |url=http://l8r.net/technical/cdtv-technical.html#HARDWARE}}</ref>
* [[Genlock]]s for NTSC or PAL (CD1300/CD1301) to overlay video signal with a secondary video source<ref>{{cite web |date=2008 |title=Commodore CD1300 |url=http://bboah.amiga-resistance.info/cgi-bin/showhardware_en.cgi?HARDID=396 |url-status=dead |website=The Big Book of Amiga Hardware|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721184949/http://bboah.amiga-resistance.info/cgi-bin/showhardware_en.cgi?HARDID=396 |archive-date=2011-07-21 }}</ref>

In December 2021 an unofficial free ROM update was released for CDTV ([https://github.com/C4ptFuture/cdtv-os235patch 2.35]), which brings compatibility with 68030 accelerator boards and 32-bit Fast RAM, allows non-CDTV titles to boot, fixes bugs and restores several features that were lost in the 2.7 and 2.30 ROMs. Because of copyright reasons the custom ROM is distributed in patch form.<ref>{{cite web|title=CDTV OS 2.35 - FAQ|website=[[GitHub]] |date=2 November 2022 |url=https://github.com/C4ptFuture/cdtv-os235patch/blob/master/README-faq.md#will-you-share-the-source-code}}</ref>
