As sales of HDTVs (High Definition Televisions) soar the technology continues to take leaps and bounds forward. The top players in the industry strive to produce the most advanced disc player with the goal of providing the market with the pinnacle in video quality that will enable us the public to enjoy wonderfully realistic imagery in both our cinemas and home entertainment arena.
Is DVD High Definition? - Absolutely Not
Putting the success of DVDs to one side, one thing it is not is a high definition format. When compared with the old VCR it is undoubtedly a much higher quality and resolution but it only gets to about 50% of the resolution that is produced by HDTV. A Blue ray player can put out a video signal at a rate comparable to that which is expected in cinemas and therefore the impression seen by the viewer is that which you would get from a cinema experience albeit within the confines of your own home.
What Is Upscaling?
This is the process whereby the physical pixel count on your HDTV is matched by the signal output of the DVD which sharpens and defines the image resulting in an increased quality of picture. A DVD can be upscaled via an HDMI output connection to the disc player to 1080p. This in turn returns a significantly better color consistency and detail.
To produce an engaging and truly immersive staged sound a Blue ray player combines DTS digital surround, digital plus and audio codec which can be commenced at an extremely high rate within a matter of about 10 seconds.
To avoid that hassle of having to be close enough to the Blue ray player to operate it a remote control is provided, as is standard these days. Inputs are switched to the player automatically so that you do not have to alter any settings manually.
The Sony PS3
Probably the best known of all the blue ray players it is very compact, very nice looking and operates at high speeds. This blue ray player comes up to scratch by meeting our demands and provides somewhat more than we demand of these devices. On top of that it is very competitively priced when you compare it to other models in its class.
Have You Heard Of Sony's BDP S1 Blue ray player?
This player enables playback of discs in high definition. You can utilise the upscaled settings on it to play ordinary DVDs therefore not making these current DVDs obsolete. Whether in a theater or cinema in a town or city or in your own home you can see the
huge efforts that are being put into this technology to bring that perfect entertainment moment to the customer. Continual strides for that ever higher level of defined imagery are being sought. As we all know with technology it wont stop there. New innovations and further improvements will continue to be achieved and then a new level of blue ray player will be born.
