Details Emerge on Samsung Dual Format Player
Wednesday, July 4th, 2007 at 4:00 PM - by John Martellaro
Additional details have emerged on Samsungs dual format, Blu-ray/HD DVD player, according to High-Def Digest on Thursday.
The Samsung BDP-UP5000 "hybrid" player that will play both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats was reported to be available in October to November 2007. The announcement was made at the IFA trade show in Germany. Demos are expected by Samsung in August.
The price has not yet been announced, but High-Def Digest expects the price to be lower than the current LG hybrid players price of US$1199.99. GizmoWatch reported on Thursday an expected price of �400.00.
Samsung announced that its player, unlike the LG player, will support the interactive features of both formats: BD-Java for Blu-ray and HDi for HD DVD, via an Ethernet connection.
The new generation of HD disc players also use an Ethernet connection to update the firmware and the encryption/security system.
