Sony has introduced the second generation of Blu-Ray players. This time
has added some flavor to this generation by adding 24 pictures per second
rate support and HDMI 1.3 will is the latest and greatest technology that
provides a larger transfer of information of audio and video transmission.
The major features of the Sony BDP-500 are:
- True HD Dolby and DTS HD support
- Plays BD-Rom, BD, CD
- 1080 P resolution with 24fps
- HDMI 1.3 and component video output
The Crave
website said:
There is also greater separation between video and audio boards, which
Sony claims can deliver better quality. With many people getting both their
video and audio from the digital HDMI output, we're a little skeptical that
there will be any real-world audio and video performance improvements.
While the BDP-S500 looks to have a solid combination of features, Toshiba's
HD-A35 will be released in October with the same key features and a list
price of $500. The high price of hardware has been a problem for the Blu-ray
camp, and these new players don't help.
