Master List of Blu-ray Players. - Blu-ray Forum

BadAss · 09-09-2007, 08:06 PM

You can find the complete list HERE.

This list is a work in progress. With so many players and conflicting press releases stating different specs it's hard to know exactly what player will have what upon release regarding FW/Profile/Audio capability.

If anyone want's me to add or amend the list by all means PM me and I'll update it ASAP. Cheers.

This is a fantastic idea, and it's definitely worth becoming a sticky!

A couple of suggestions:

- it may be necessary at some point to make two separate lists for US and European players,
- it would also be interesting to list in a separate message, the URLs pointing to the latest firmware updates of the players.
- could you also provide separate columns for the prices in USD, pounds and euros?

Cheers,

gvortex7 · 09-09-2007, 08:37 PM

Pioneer BDP-94HD (the second generation Elite player for the N.A. market)
Panasonic DMP-BD10 (first generation version not too dissimilar to the BD10A)

BadAss · 09-09-2007, 08:47 PM

Pioneer and Samsung UP5000 are updated to include DTS-MA! Cheers.

Marantz is an affiliate of Denon, owned by D&M (Denon and Marantz) and I haven't noticed the announcement either, but it should definitely be coming. The lineup of players and manufacturers is impressive. I sure hope it helps Blu-ray when the new players start showing up.

Here's another Pioneer deck:

BDP-HD50-K

This may only be available in Canada.

Blu As Hell · 09-09-2007, 08:35 PM

For me, it's coming down between the Samsung P2400 and the Sharp BD-HP20!!!!!!! I didn't know the Sharp is going to be profile 2.0, I wonder if that's out the box or via firmware? Nonetheless I am so ready for a new player!!!!!

Excellent list BadAss!!!!!!!

Are you sure Jodi? Do you have a link that it will internally decode DTS HDMA?

I talked to a level 2 support person at Samsung and they say the 1400 will be 1.1 complient.

The pictures of 1400 at the link below show that the NAND flash (located on the bottom side) and associated HW for 256MB local storage are not populated.

So unfortunately a firmware update wouldn't be enough to make it 1.1 compliant without this storage missing inside the player...

Hey all,

What is the difference between the Sigma SMP8634 RevC in the Samsung 1400 and the Sigma SMP8634 RevA in the Pioneer Elite BDP-95FD.

It sounds like it would be better to go with the player with the Sigma SMP8634 RevC. Also wouldn't both players have near identical PQ or is there more to it then just this chip?

Yes the Rev C chip is a newer chip. however Pioneer has been working with the chip longer and has made some software imporvements. And the Pioneer is a much more stable player at this time.

Can the 1400 be 1.1 without the 256MB local storage ...?

Since there is not a card slot or USB port nope.

it also says that there are 4 memory nodes 128*4=512 so it acutally has 512mb of storage wich is more than enough for profile 1.1, samsung just has t oreleace fermware to unlock the features. swvader, can you remember who you spoke to because level 2 support told me they have no idea what a bluray profile was

actually it looks like its labeled 512 it says hyb25dc512800ce-5 if the memory is the four qmonda chips or if the memory is the SPANSION chip (S29GL512N10TFL01) i saw that on their website that that is a 512MB chip. anyhoo i e-mailed samsung support to see if they could answer.

You are totally confused between DRAM and Flash !!!

The Quimonda are the DDRs, of 512Mbits each (not MBytes...) and by the way, there are some more on the bottom side which you don't see...

The SPANSION is the flash, of 512Mbit, not Mbyte again... So that flash is only 64MBytes, no need to wait for Samsung to tell you that

jsteinhauer · 11-13-2007, 11:31 PM

Please help. This thread and forum, combined with manufacturer websites leaves me totally lost.

Can someone tell me what players are available in the US that are currently profile 1.1 compliant or definitely will be soon and will at least pass DTS HD master audio, other than the new Panasonic player. I would like to read reviews of the others, but I can not sort through all of the chaff.

Thank you so much!
