Capabilities

Tools 9

bkm_cards

Every Sony BKM option card for the CRT-era BVM and PVM monitors: Sony's name, what it does, which chassis it fits, and the Sony source. Optional filter matched against the card model AND the Fits column, e.g. 'BKM-129X', 'PVM-20L5' or 'BVM-A'. Dataset CC BY 4.0.

Discovered
console_video_out

How each retro console in the collection reaches a Sony professional monitor: the modification (if any), the video output used, and the cable chain. Optional console filter, e.g. 'Genesis'. Dataset CC BY 4.0.

Discovered
list_orlandu_pages

Every page on orlandu.com with its title, URL and one-line description — the site map for an agent.

Discovered
plan_connection

Plan the connection from a retro console to one of the Sony monitors in the collection: the best signal the pair shares, the cable chain step by step, sync and 75-ohm termination rules, and whether a BKM card, a console mod or adapter, or a converter is needed. Consoles: NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Genesis, Saturn, PC Engine, PlayStation, PS2, Dreamcast, Xbox, Wii, Neo Geo, Master System. Monitors: PVM-2950Q, PVM-20L5, BVM-20E1U, BVM-A14F5U, LMD-9020/9030/9050/940W. Rules dataset CC BY 4.0.

Discovered
playchoice_10_library

The 52 games Nintendo released for the PlayChoice-10 arcade system, each with a photo of its original game board. Dataset CC BY 4.0.

Discovered
read_orlandu_page

The full readable text of one orlandu.com page as Markdown (no images). Give the page's URL or slug, e.g. 'pvm-20l5-buying-guide' or 'https://www.orlandu.com/pvm-vs-bvm.html'.

Discovered
registry_census

The Orlandu Registry: a serial-number census of surviving Sony BVM and PVM monitors, kept by their owners (live data). With no argument: how many monitors, models, owners and countries are registered, the survivor count per model, and the records. With a model (e.g. 'BVM-20E1U' or 'PVM-20L5'): that model's registered entries — masked serial, plate date, hours, condition, note, where it came from — and its serial-range points. Serials are masked by design; emails never leave the server. Dataset CC BY 4.0; the full list is at https://www.orlandu.com/api/registry?export=json (or export=csv).

Discovered
search_orlandu

Full-text search over every page, card, glossary term and gallery caption on orlandu.com. Returns the best-matching pages with a snippet and URL. Use it first, then read_orlandu_page for the full text.

Discovered
sony_monitor_specs

Specifications of the Sony PVM, BVM and LMD monitors in the collection (display, size, resolution, formats, inputs, option slots, weight, dimensions, era). Optional model filter, e.g. 'PVM-20L5' or 'BVM'. Dataset CC BY 4.0.
