Does anyone have any sort of information about this player? On the surface it looks like white version of the V2800, but it has even fewer front panel controls. I'm guessing it's a Japanese only release as it uses a 9-pin DIN for a serial connector, but apart from that I can't wean any sort of information about the machine online.

Some kind of a late LD-ROM machine, perhaps?

possibly but I wonder if it has any relation to the Pioneer Mac Clone. It is strange that it does not have LaserBarcode on it which some industrial players do.

I wish I had one, I’ve heard they break a lot easier than the 80s industrial models, other than that, I know nothing.

I see it says “compatible Laserdisc player” on it, which, yeah, along with the name does make it seem like it was designed to go with a computer. The DIN for coms making it distinct from LDVs which always had RS232 over DB9.

This guy’s blog:

http://garitune.hatenablog.jp/entry/2008/10/13/225537

Says his is for Macs. That DIN does look quite like the ones used for Apple Desktop Bus or printer ports on old Macs but it’s been a long time so I can’t recognize it on site.

"Compatible Laserdisc" was written on most Japanese CLD models. Since there's still baud rate settings on back, it's a Mac Serial port (DIN-8) not ADB.

Wonder if you can use a north american mac with it. That would be cool but I don't have an older mac with the serial port anymore. It would be nice for the future though.

Pioneer (translated) says:

LD Vision

Just like a laser disc.
Computer control connected to serial port and AV input CLD player, CLD-PC10 can be freely controlled. LD images can be displayed on a PC monitor and QuickTime movies and still images can be imported. It can be said that the beginning of a new dimension of LD. In addition, high-quality LD can be used widely as a high-end material for self-made QuickTime movies, desktop patterns, and custom icon creation. Of course, it is also possible to display and import from AV equipment such as VTRs and video movies.

Can't wait to resume coding the Hardware section so we can archive/save all this information!

I'm imagining this originally came with it's own software, and I can't even imagine how hard that that would be to find. Japanese PC software of old seems to have a a reputation of being incredibly elusive, and proprietary software of any kind, in any region, tends to end up like that as well, unless the hardware it's intended for is popular enough to encourage archival projects by fans.

QuickTime capture...didn’t make any sense to me in Japanese either.

Is this used for making little 80x80 QT videos of LDs?

Color me impressed.

You can make 80x80 videos of LDs with all sorts of crap now...although I wouldn’t be surprised if resolutions that low are no longer supported by modern QuickTime.

I have found one, and it works with my Pioneer Mac (and many other Mac) : https://www.journaldulapin.com/2022/11/ ... -cld-pc10/

Pioneer offer the sftware on his website (yes, 25 years later) and it's a virtual remote.
