High Definition Fever With the Blue-ray Disc Player
High Definition Television or HDTV has made great strides in recent years. Superpowers in the technology industry have entered into a frantic race in their pursuit of creating the most advanced disc player with the intent of producing topnotch quality video mode that will bring the most excellent and most realistic images be it in the home theater or in cinemas.
DVD is Not High Definition
Irregardless of the success of DVD, it is not a high definition format. This means to say that although it is superior in resolution and image quality as compared with the VCR, it can only attain 50% of the resolution of HDTV.
The Blue-ray disc player is capable of outputting video signals at the same rate as that in cinemas thus the impression felt by a viewer is the same as that in a theater or cinema when in fact, the viewer is within the confines of the abode.
Upscaling is a process by which the pixel count of the DVD signal output is matched to the physical pixel count of an HDTV thus sharply defining and increasing the quality of images. Ordinary DVDs can be upscaled by the disc player to 1080p through HDMI output connections. This results to a better detail and color consistency.
The Blue-ray disc player is compatible audio codec and Dolby Digital Plus as well as DTS Digital Surround for an immersive, engaging sound stage. It can be started at a very fast rate, within 10 seconds.
Users are also allowed to operate the Blue-ray disc player by remote control. Inputs are automatically switched to the player thus abolishing the hassle of having to be in physical contact with the controls to initiate operations.
Much publicized among these disc players is the Sony's PS3. It has been described as very sleek, compact, high-speed, etc. In summary, this Blue-ray disc player answers all the consumers' questions and gives a lot more, not to mention the affordable price tag as compared to others.
Another is the Sony BDP S1 Blue-ray Disc Player which allows high definition playback of the discs. Standard DVDs can also be played back in an upscaled setting. Current DVDs are not rated as obsolete since they can be played back with this disc player.
Thus one can see very clearly the efforts that are being made to bring the customers perfect entertainment in terms of highly defined images whether this is in the cinemas or theaters in towns or cities or within the comforts of one's own home cinema. It has gone a long way and there is no end in sight in the search for innovations and further improvements to perfect the visual experience.
