Product Description
The BDP-S500 is a high-end alternative aimed at customers demanding a definitive high-definition viewing experience. The BDPS500 can output 1080p Full HD via a single-cable HDMI interface, currently the highest possible HD format available for consumers. So everyone with a Full HD LCD TV can finally appreciate the true capabilities of their set. The ultimate HD resolution is partnered with 7.1 channel Linear PCM and Dolby® Digital Plus Surround Sound audio for home cinema of the highest standard. The BDP-S500 goes even further, with Dolby TrueHD decoding and Bit Stream Output for DTS-HD3, Dolby TrueHD audio signals via HDMI ver 1.3. Even your existing collection of DVDs can look better thanks to a 1080p upscaling feature that works with HDMI-equipped 1080pcapable HDTVs, enhancing and sharpening the picture as you watch. Cine cameras actually film at 24 frames per second, but televisions operate at a higher frame rate, so conversion has traditionally been necessary. The result is a 4% discrepancy from the original - the film broadcast on TV or played on a VHS or DVD player actually runs 4% faster than the original, and some soundtrack rises by 4% in pitch. When the BDP-S500 is connected to a TV with 24p capability such as the new Bravia X-Series5, the original 24 frames per second are played just as the camera first recorded them. You see - and hear - exactly what the director intended. In the box: Video cord Phono plug Stereo audio cord Mains lead Remote control Batteries
