The Interton Video 2400 is a dedicated first-generation home video game console that was released in 1975 by Interton. [2] It is the successor of the Interton Video 2000 and the predecessor of the Interton Video 2501. It could output only black and white. [2] The console uses the AY-3-8500 chipset.

The console was also released in France by Thomson under the name JV1T and by Continental Edison under the name JV-2701. [2]
