The '''1292 Advanced Programmable Video System''' was a [[video game]] hardware architecture first released in 1976 by [[Radofin]].

The hardware was then licensed to and sold by other companies as well. Along with Radofin, [[Acetronic]], [[Audio Sonic]], [[Aureac]], [[Fountain]], [[Grandstand]], [[Grundig]], [[Hanimex]], [[Interton]], [[ITMC]], [[Lansay]], [[Palson]], [[Prinztronic]], [[Société occitane d'électronique]], [[Teleng]], [[TRQ]], [[Videomaster]], [[Voltmace]], and [[Waddingtons]] sold variations of the system.

In all, Twenty-five different hardware-compatible consoles were released under twenty different brands throughout Europe and Oceania from 1976 to 1983.

==Design==
There is little difference in hardware between the 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System compatible consoles, as they are all hardware compatible with each other. All of the consoles contain a Radofin XM-2050 [[PCB]] with a [[Signetics 2650A]] [[CPU]]. The consoles use 32-pin cartridges, although some systems do have differently shaped cartridges which would require an adapter to play on other systems.

Some of the different models by some of the manufacturers have little differences between each other as well. The only major difference between a 1292 system and a 1392 system (or a MPU-1000 and a MPU-2000) is merely that the power pack is located outside on the former, and on the inside of the system in the latter.
