Η Denon το είχε ανακοινώσει, αλλά πλέον έχουμε και φωτογραφίες από το blu-ray DVD-3800BDCI.
Επίσης, η είδηση που δεν ήθελα να διαβάσω, και η Marantz παρουσίασε το blu-ray
bigcry BD8002, το οποίο όμως δεν ήταν πραγματικό μηχάνημα σε λειτουργία.
Και τα δύο μηχανήματα (θα) είναι Blu-ray profile 1.1.
Για εμένα που θα ήθελα ένα HD DVD - SACD - DVD - CD player, μεγαλύτερο ενδιαφέρον έχει η συνέντευξη εκπροσώπου της Denon στο Listen Up:
LU: Why did Denon go with Blu-ray rather than HD DVD?
JT: We decided to go Blu-ray because we found a partner that we can work with at this point in time quicker than we could to do HD DVD. We're not picking one format over the other — we want to make that very clear. We happen to have a partner that we've worked with for years, and they wanted to work with us first, and so it just was like a nice marriage. The door is wide open for HD DVD, and as many have said, the market's going to tell us where we need to go. In our particular instance, our goal is to have a true universal audio/video player. All audio formats, including SACD and DVD-Audio, as well as HD DVD and Blu-ray video.
LU: So you would consider doing a combo player with Blu-ray and HD DVD?
JT: That's probably our number one consideration at this point in time. They're just starting to come out from some of the major players — obviously, Samsung has introduced theirs. They'll be out this fall, while the LG player, you know, it's not a true HD DVD player — it's not a licensed HD DVD product. LG has to make their own logo, it doesn't display menus for movies, and all this other stuff. So Samsung's going to be the first true combo player. And hats off to them.
LU: Just to make it clear, the DVD-3800BDCI does not support DVD-Audio or SACD.
JT: Correct. We've gotten some criticism from some of the forums and some e-mails for not supporting those formats. As I said before, though, we’re working towards a true universal player; it's just that to get this Blu-ray player out at this point in time, we had to leave something out.
(...)
LU: And Denon is still agnostic, basically, about the high-def formats video formats, isn't it?
JT: We don't care. In the Blu-ray.com conversation from my last interview with you they were saying, "Well, Denon's a member of the Blu-ray Association." Yes, we are. That's public knowledge. That just means we're a member. That doesn't mean we're a deciding member. We don't have a license, we don't hold licenses on any technology in Blu-ray. There are like four or five gods at Blu-ray up there. But we're on Toshiba's doorstep every day talking to them, too. So, you know, we, as we've always tried to be with new technologies or new partners, to be as agnostic as possible, work with everybody, and give the customer the option--let them decide. That's really what it comes down to. You know, the Blu-ray sort of stems from that a little bit, but it gets us in the market. It shows that we are working with our dealers, that we are striving to be a part of the next high-definition player, whatever it may be, and it just seemed to work out a little bit easier, so that's where we are right now.
Άρα η ελπίδα δεν έχει χαθεί! :ears:
