New Pioneer Premium Bonusview Blu-ray Disc Players
Pioneer Electronics (USA) Inc. today announces the Elite BDP-05FD and Pioneer BDP-51FD BonusView Blu-ray Disc players.
Featuring picture-in-picture interactivity and a redesigned platform, the new players work in tandem with Pioneer's KURO displays and A/V receivers.
Both players support 12-bit video digital-to-analog converter (DAC). 12-Bit Deep Color is implemented on both models.
With Pioneer's 1080p / True 24 frames per second (fps) video output, the two models offer smooth performance of film based Blu-ray Disc movies that reduce image judder.
Pioneer has continued to enhance high performance DVD playback in the new players with the inclusion of the proprietary and advanced PureCinema Deinterlacer, which essentially eliminates lines that can negatively affect the viewing experience. DVDs can be scaled to a 1080p resolution for improved picture quality and compatibility with HDTVs.
The new players are two of the industry's first to support all advanced audio formats, with the ability to decode Dolby TrueHD and Dolby Digital Plus, DTS HD and DTS HD Master high resolution audio formats.
Typically utilized by high end audio manufacturers and professional audio equipment, Pioneer selected the professional quality Wolfson Digital Audio Converters (DACs) in the new players.
Pioneer's two BonusView Blu-ray Disc players also feature a supreme build construction. The BDP-05FD and BDP-51FD feature a center loading tray which helps reduce vibration as well as dedicated audio and video boards for smooth operation and uninterrupted playback of discs.
The Elite BDP-05FD features gold-plated connection ports, capacitance touch key buttons and an aluminum front panel that will have audiophiles and videophiles eager to use and display within their high end home theater decor.
The Pioneer Elite BDP-05FD and BDP-51FD BonusView Blu-ray Disc players will begin shipping this summer for suggested prices of $799 and $599, respectively.
