Interesting. If this is true, 8bits x 3 colors = 24bits per pixel.

They why do these particular Pioneer players: http://www.ubergizmo.com/15/archives...ay_player.html support 36-bit deep color and 48-bit deep color, respectively?

Does that simply mean these particular players have the ability to support 36-bit/48-bit color, ONLY IF someone actually develops Blu-rays that utilize 36-bit, 48-bit, etc??

So basically, right now, all Blu-rays discs are 24-bit. So 36-bit/48-bit is only marketing hype??
