Samsung shows networkable Blu Ray Rekorder
BD-HR1000 with non removable disk and Blu Ray Rekorder

Quote:
The BD-HR1000 will come in the next months not into Europe, Samsung however already shows the High definition video recorder equipped with Blu Ray burner and non removable disk on the IFA 2005 in Berlin. Connection finds the equipment also to the PC, in order by this for instance with DivX and MP3-Dateien to be fed.

Samsung BD-HR1000

On a 25-GByte-Blu-Ray-Disc approximately 2.5 hours highly soluble video fit, on the blocked 400-GByte-Festplatte of the BD-HR1000 fit up to 47 hours material according to Samsung. An integrated electronic program leader is to facilitate the recording of television broadcasts. Normal DVDs and CDs can be likewise played by the equipment, but not taken up on it.

Apart from the binding to the PC by Ethernet and WLAN for transmission of videos, pictures and audio data on the digital video recorder also the direct selection of different memory card types is possible. Thus for instance digital photos without detour on the television can be represented. For the digital connection to a highly soluble television or a Beamer HDMI is supported.

On demand of Golem.de a Samsung spokeswoman indicated that yet it is not certain whether and when the BD-HR1000 comes for which price to Europe. Cheaply the equipment might not become however. 2006 ago an introduction on the market in Germany appears also little meaningful, because HDTV will only take up here starting from 2006/2007 slowly travel - supports by the soccer world championship 2006

IFA 2005 report

Quote:
With recent large-sized home appliance show, Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD which by all means have big announcement. But with IFA 2005, this fall there is no other than movement which such as the drive for PC of sale, is conspicuous "as for the eyeball the voice of CEATEC or CES" is many. But, as for HD DVD the market start-up of next spring with the goal of, as for BD while the start-up during 2006 and, 2006 spring asking the trend of place t Shaun 3 of sale schedule, it directs to commercialization from end of year and has increased the degree of completion of demonstration and the like.

In addition, the relative demonstration and the like of SD and HD large number is done as a tool in order to appeal charm partly due to HDTV broadcast almost the show in Europe which has not started, the HD contents.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Concerning BD degree of completion of demonstration improves. Announcing interactive function and the like

You refrain from the specification decision of BD-ROM, each company exhibiting the BD player. There is no thing which praises recorder function partly due to Europe where the start-up of HDTV is late, almost, charm of the HD contents and the using which exceeds DVD the demonstration which was focused selfishly was done at the various parts.


The new BD-ROM player prototype of SONY


As for SONY, with the booth of BDA BD-ROM player of new design reference exhibition. Playback demonstration of the BD-ROM player was done even with CES and CeBIT, but complicated menu structural indicatory and extended function is mounted anew, playback demonstration is done. Furthermore, concerning unique design "because it is prototype, that tried it is found, that directly it is not the mass production machine, you applied", that with thing, as for commercializing in this way you say that first it is not.

In the new player really making use of the BD-ROM disk the menu,, while playing back starting while looking at image, executing the demonstration which does the expansion information display which is called チャプタselection operation and presentation graphics. The point which is superior than DVD even in the aspect of the using selfishness is appealed.

In addition, it executes also the extended functional demonstration of JAVA. This time we house information on the disk, it is "utilization image", the applied example that, but e.g., Internet you connect, when looking at the Kyoto image, downloading map information, you indicate, indicate weather information is introduced.

In addition, also demonstration playback image approximately 40Mbps of MPEG-2 TS and past makes the highest level, appealing high picture quality. This time you say that from the fact that effort is being put into the promotion of the HD contents and the Blu-ray format, you aimed toward the demonstration in higher picture quality. In addition, "demand for the Japanese contents holder is strong concerning especially picture quality, but when you make at the image of 40Mbps look, mostly it can have being satisfied," that you say.

Victor exhibiting the hybrid disk of BD-ROM and 2 layers DVD-ROM. The BD-ROM player and the DVD player being both with the same disk, it does the demonstration which it plays back. With the disk of 3 layer system of 1 layer blue ray disk and current 2 layers DVD, 25GB and the DVD-ROM section have the capacity of 8.5GB with BD-ROM. BD layer of the surface part re-is raised when playing back the blue ray disk, at the time of DVD playback DVD layer inside is played back.

Already, it starts the standardization with BDA, it calls the stage where also the book is made, but concerning the time of standardization it is undecided. However, the BD-ROM player /DVD player being both, because it can play back, if at the time of software purchase with also only DVD, purchases the BD player in the future, it can enjoy hi-vision image. "By all means it becomes necessary for the movement period of market. Makeshift you want the time where the market of BD stands up ", that you say.

Furthermore, it is advancing examination/development concerning 2 stratifications of BD,, but "there is also request such as the hybrid conversion of CD, how corresponds to some media while ascertaining request, we would like to keep deciding", that it did.

Executing the Matsushita Electric Co. the working hours demonstration of the BD-ROM player. "The DMR-E700BD" and BD-ROM player who almost can play back the ROM media of the bear disk with the frame of the same size and, from the thin-shaped player was exhibited.

Hardware almost it is the same as the exhibition machine of CeBIT, but it renews the software, actualizing JAVA correspondence and the like. Demonstration in the form which is closer to the mass production product is done. Sale time "during 2006" (the same company). Whether you start from the playback private machine, or become from the recorder and so on, "while looking at trend, you say that the product it plans".

In addition, Sonic Solutions announcing the BD support of the Roxio product on the 2nd. With the booth of BDA also demonstration is done.

How can you tell they are fragile from the picture?
If anything, to me these models look quiet bulky and solid. They maybe quiet heavy too but I seem to remember first dvd players being similar way but after a while manufacturers learned about minitaurization and dvd players these days are quiet slim.

I think he's just mocking them because of the "Please Do Not Touch" cards placed next to many of them.

With a second look through the pictures I do have to admit the Pioneer deck near the bottom isn't so hideous as the others. I hope we don't have to go through this big and bulky stage and then slimline players again. I don't need a tiny player but I'm not crazy about a bulky one either. One of these companies must have something inbetween in the works.

The lot so far seem ugly ducklings - this is actually a cleaver plan. As appart from thickness & DRM they copy each other - HD players will copy these and the production Blu Ray units will look great, both physically as well as the video output.

I think the R&D departments design the case first and leave enough room for anything to fit into it!!!!!

Does anyone know what the backs look like - we will then have a good guess what the outputs are (an instruction manual should tell us what each output supports - yeah I know it will be in Japanise, so no use)

I don't even see a DVI or HDMI output. Is this a mistake or has Toshiba decided to allow component output for their HD-DVD discs? Analog output would breathe new life into their format if it's allowed.

We're not sure what changes they will make before they release the HD-DVD player, this is just a reference model of their HD-DVD player. We've updated the text to reflect this.

So what I've seen there is:

- Different dyes already in production
- Different coating technologies already in production

Its time for a quality comparison
