Samsung Offers New High-End Dual Blu-ray/HD DVD Player

NEW YORK — The new BD-UP5000 Duo HD Player from Samsung can play discs in both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats. It is aimed at high-end home theater users who want to be able to play both formats as the market decides which format will succeed.

The BD-UP5000 player also supports the formats' interactive technologies, HDi and BD-Java. There is one other Blu-ray and HD DVD player on the market, Super Multi Blue from LG, but it does not support the interactive technology.

The BD-UP5000 supports full 1080p video and an HDMI 1.3 interface, along with componsent, X-Video, and composite video outputs. An Ethernet jack lets the unit ride on a home network and access Internet-based interactive content. The unit offers both stereo and 7.1 surround-sound output, and has coax/optical audio inputs.

The unit supports HQV digital up-conversion of content to 720p, 1080i or 1080p, and can handle audio that has been encoded with Dolby Digital Plus, dts HD, Dolby True HD, and MP3. It will also play traditional DVDs, CDs and writable CD media.

Samsung expects to ship the unit during the fourth quarter of 2007 at a suggested retail price of $1,049, according to various sources.
