In the movie world, “picture quality” depends, largely, on the budget you throw at a film. In the digital world, picture quality depends on bit rates. For example, DVDs can deliver 10 Mbps. HDTV broadcasts can reach 19 Mbps. But Blu-ray Disc outshines them all with up to 48 Mbps! Quite simply, Blu-ray is the best home video source. Ever. At the same time, it provides seriously sweet surround sound. With up to 7.1 channels of surround sound and options for up to 32 streams of audio, the BDP-S560 is an amazing experience for your ears. Blu-ray Disc can deliver concert videos and music videos that will make you want to get up on stage and sing with the performers.

While the BDP-120 serves up the full HD 1080p video and 7.1-channel surround sound for which Blu-ray Disc is known, its 1GB USB flash memory stick, ethernet port, and BD-Live capability let you access bonus material, trailers, and online gaming and messaging (with a pre-existing internet connection and BD-Live-compatible discs). Pioneer’s True24fps technology delivers your favorite movies with film-like fidelity, while HDMI output offers the most advanced audio and video connectivity available. DVD video upconversion lets you rediscover you DVD collection enhanced to near-HD 1080p levels.

BD-Live: beyond the disc

Like BD-Live, for example. While in Oz farce was at play, in your home theater, the true 1080p high definition video experience offered by Blu-ray Disc is a real as the picture is lifelike, this time thanks to Blu-ray’s unique blue-violet laser technology. In other words: a home video experience previously unthinkable with DVD. For the optimal high definition Blu-ray video experience at home, the BDP-120 features True24fps capability. Because all your favorite movies are filmed at 24 frames-per-second (fps) while most home video systems are equipped to display video at 30fps, most standard systems have to subject film-based video content to alterations that make the 24fps content display ay 30fps. Video as the director intended. Further, a PureCinema deinterlacer advances interlaced-scanned video from broadcast TV or DVD to smooth progressive-scan video.

Ok, well, it’s all fine and dandy that Blu-ray Disc is capable of storing 7.1 channels of uncompressed audio for a true home surround sound experience. Dolby Digital TrueHD and dts-HD audio decoding processing deliver the most advanced, high-performance audio decoding currently available, giving Blu-ray Disc’s uncompressed audio its true expression.

DVD, rediscovered

With all this talk of Blu-ray Disc’s full HD 1080p video and 7.1-channels of uncompressed surround sound audio, your DVDs were preparing themselves for the landfill. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable.
