Pioneer Introduces New High-end Blu-ray Players At CEDIA

Pioneer Introduces New High-end Blu-ray Players At CEDIA

Consumer Electronics Sep 11,2014 0

Pioneer Electronics today launched the Elite BDP-85FD and flagship BDP-88FD Blu-ray players designed to be reference players for audio and video enthusiasts. Both Elite Blu-ray players are utilizing Pioneer’s new advanced video engine consisting of the Precise Pixel Driver image processor and Pioneer’s new 4K Reference Converter that upscale existing disc-based or network content to Ultra HD 4K resolution (4K/60P/4:4:4/24-bit).  The upscaled video is output via HDMI 2.0 utilizing its full 18GBPS bandwidth.

The players employ the ES9018 ESS SABRE reference DAC for audio output, capable of playing DVD Audio, SACD. The BDP-88FD takes things further by using all four of its integrated DACs in parallel to reduce noise.  Both players also feature a "Direct Function Circuit" for use in pure analog audio playback mode shutting off all video circuits and dedicating the processing power to the audio components.  The BDP-88FD provides increased audio performance with its use of a large capacity power supply transformer, independent quartz for 44.1 kHz/48 kHz playback, Hi-Bit and Hi-Sampling processing, and a DAC filter. 

For convenience and plug-and-play capability right out of the box, both players feature DLNA, giving users the ability to share audio and video content from a PC via the user’s home network.  Both models can also work as a DMP/DMR (Digital Media Player/Digital Media Renderer) to push content directly from a portable source such as a compatible smartphone or tablet.  The players were also designed to play high resolution music content from USB, disc, and hard drive devices.  In addition, both models offer YouTube "Send to TV," making it easy to watch YouTube videos using paired devices.   

To reduce unwanted vibration, both Elite models utilize a double-layered chassis for low center of gravity as well as a highly rigid bonnet structure.  Increased performance also comes from the use of acoustic electric capacitors and high grade components.  In addition, the BDP-88FD employs a 3-chamber structure separating its power supply, digital processing circuitry, and audio circuitry.

The BDP-85FD and BDP-88FD feature a Zero Signal Terminal providing a reference ground for audio/video signals. When connected to a display or AVR, the ground potential between the two devices is minimized resulting in a more accurate signal transmission.  Both models are compatible with Pioneer’s new iControlAV5 App that enables most smartphones to act as a basic remote control for the player when connected via a wireless router.  The app is available for download at no charge from the App Store or the App Store for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. The iControlAV5 for Android smartphones is available on Google Play.

The Pioneer Elite BDP-85FD and BDP-88FD Blu-ray players will be available in December with suggested retail prices of $1,000 and $2,000 respectively.
