Memorex MVBD2535GPH manual Features

FEATURES

This unit has many features, some are outlined below. Please read the owner’s manual to take full advantage of all the features this unit has to offer.

•Introduction

Blu-ray Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or 50 GB (dual layer) on a single-sided disc – about 5 to 10 times the capacity of DVD. As a result, Blu-ray Discs support the highest quality HD video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080 at 40 Mbit/sec). Large capacity means no compromise on video quality. Furthermore, a Blu-ray Disc has the same familiar size and look as DVD, allowing for compatibility with existing discs.

•Compatibility

Users can play home-recorded discs (except BDAV discs) on this Blu-ray Disc Player; there are no playback compatibility issues as with rewritable DVD formats. The Video Distribution format was widely expanded to offer content producers a full range of additional features unavailable in the home recording format.

•Video Highlights

The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports three highly advanced video codecs, including AVC, VC-1 and MPEG-2. All consumer video resolutions are available:

480i/576i; 480p/576p; 720p; 1080i; 1080p and 1080p (24p&60p).

•Audio Highlights

The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports various advanced audio codecs so an author can choose the most suitable for a particular application. The high capacity and data rate of Blu-ray Discs allows for extreme high quality audio in up to 8 channels to accompany High Definition video. Final audio specifications include DTS (DTS 5.1, DTS-HD 7.1), Dolby Digital and LPCM (up to 96/24).

•High-Definition Playback

To view high-definition contents in BD discs, an HDTV (High Definition Television) is required. Some discs may require using the playerʼs HDMI OUT to view high-definition content. The ability to view high-definition content on BD discs may be limited depending on the resolution of your TV.

The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive functions. “BD-J” offers content providers almost unlimited functionality when creating interactive BD-ROM titles. Java and all Java-based trademarks and logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the U.S. and other countries.

•HDMV Mode

“HDMV” mode was designed to offer exciting new features, while keeping the authoring process as simple as possible. It streamlines the production of Blu-ray Discs as well as DVD-Video titles, as the production process incorporates many identical phases. It offers improved navigational and menu features, improved graphics and animation, improved subtitling support and new features like browseable slideshows.

Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080) graphics planes are available, on top of the HD video plane. One plane is assigned to video-related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and the other plane is assigned to interactive graphical elements, such as buttons or menus. For both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll effects are available, for example to present a menu.

•BD-Live

Some BD-ROM discs labelled “BD-Live” contain interactive information, trivia games, etc. The player must be connected to the internet as described later in this manual.

•“BD-J” Mode

“BD-J” mode was designed to offer the content provider almost unlimited functionality when creating interactive titles. It is based on Java 2 Micro Edition, so programmers will quickly be familiar with the programming environment for BD-J. Every Blu-ray Disc player will be equipped with a Java interpreter, so that it is capable of running discs authored in BD-J mode.
