Denon Joins The 3D Buzz By Launching Two Innovative Blu-ray Players
Sunday, May 2nd, 20102010 has been a year that 3D playback smashes into the mainstream. The popular 3-D movie Avatar has also aided in fast forwarding this progress. After resting on their laurels for a bit, Denon have just proclaimed that they will be introducing two new blu-ray players that will be 3D ready. New firmware updates coming in the fall will make them fully 3D capable.
First up is the cheapest model Denon DBP-1611UD which is priced sensibly at $399. At this price it is surely going to capture a large pie of the 3D market. The step-up model Denon DBP-2011UDCI is more serious in capturing the high end market with significantly better video processing chips from ABT and cutting edge Burr Brown 192khz/32 bit DACs. It costs almost twice as much at $799.
All these are ‘universal’ players that means they play all known 5″ disc formats which includes the high res DVD-Audio and SACD audio formats, which is something not common among consumer products. They feature stable built quality and provide good sound which is the characteristic of Denon systems.
The DBP-1611UD and DBP-2011UDCI also come with YouTube and Netflix streaming which is Denon’s first. Also common is the inclusion of 1GB of onboard memory which makes it hassle-free for accessing BD-Live content. Capabilities like Kodak Picture CD compatibility, as well as DivX HD, MP3 and WMA playback are added to make using it more enjoyable at home. 36-Bit Deep Color support is also included although there are no such encoded media discs that has this. So get one of these players if you intend to future proof your decision to buy a blu-ray player.
