Sony has officially announced the distribution of its latest BDP-S1, first Blu-Ray devoted Disc player. Featuring all the quality of a high-end player, together with backward compatibility with DVDs and upscaling to 1080p, the new BDP-S1 is capable of a 1920 x 1080p (progressive) resolution through HDMI.
Presenting the 1920 x 1080p ever largest resolution HD signal, including various high quality video codecs, including MPEG2, MPEG4-AVC and VC1, the latest model is compatible with usual DVDs with the additional 1080p upgrading via HDMI, includes an analog component output for buyers who already possess an HDTV set without HDMI and reinforces a big screen like image with signal at 24 frames per second.
Offering optimal surround sound and optical digital audio out, in addition to uncompressed multi-channel linear PCM digital audio output via HDMI, the BDP-S1 unit puts forward 5.1 channel decoding qualifications for backward compatibility and supports BD-ROM, AVC-HD and DVD playback from DVD/DVD+R/+RW encoded discs, with MP3 audio files and JPEG images stored on DVD+R/+RW discs as well. It also presents a separate audio circuit board, thinly tuned audio components, drive brackets and off-center insulator feet.
With the limited movie library, you may be able to own the BDP-S1 for about $1000, which certainly will force you to be indecisive and think over and again before going for final purchase.
