Samsung goes for Duo HD

Για τους Αγγλομαθεις...

Samsung has rocked the AV world by announcing the release of its first dual-format HD disc player.

The Blu-ray Disc Association founder-member is to launch its Duo HD BD-UP5000, a combined Blu-ray and HD DVD deck, in the US in August. Unlike LG’s rival Super Multi Blue player, it’s capable of playing interactive content from both formats – HDi and BD-Java.

Costing approximately $1,000 at launch (and rumoured to hit the UK before the end of the year for around £1,000), the player promises to be fully-featured. It will incorporate an HDMI v1.3 output capable of streaming Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD; a LAN port for BD Live and online firmware support, and full backwards-compatibility with DVD and CD. A Faroudja DCDi processor allows video upscaling. The BD-UP5000 will also offer the ability to output 1080p at 24frames per second (on Blu-ray only) – in short, the features requested by critics of the its first-gen Blu-ray-only BD-P1000 and a few more besides.

A Samsung insider told HCC, ‘Our dual-format player can fully support both Blu-ray and HD DVD. Unlike rivals, we have full-functionality with both formats, including BD Java and HDi.’

However, this player doesn’t denote the end of Samsung’s commitment to Blu-ray-only decks, as Dong Ho Shin, (Senior Vice President & GM of HP R&D Team, Digital AV Division, pictured below) explained: ‘Our strategy includes two models. One model will be a Blu-ray player [the BD-P1200], and the other will be a dual-player. The Blu-ray-only player will be cheaper than the dual player.’

Key to the player’s abilities is a new dual laser drive, in which one lens is used for Blu-ray and the other HD DVD.
