Interton bought the license and design rights to the processor from Signetics (At the time owned by Philips) to produce the VC 4000, as have many other brands that produced similar systems the following years.
==Technical specifications==
The VC-4000 is powered by a Signetics 2650A CPU (same as the [[Arcadia 2001]]) and a Signetics 2636 Video Controller. The two controllers are composed of a 12-key keypad, 2 fire buttons and an analog joystick. On the control panel of the system, one can find an on/off switch and three buttons: RESET, SELECT and START.
