Samsung lança tocadores de Blu-ray com visual sofisticado

Os últimos tocadores de Blu-ray da Samsung se destacam pelo design – o BD-P4600 o BD-P3600 têm um visual polido e elegante, e o primeiro pode ser montado na parede.

É legal ver alguma criatividade na área de tocadores de BD – principalmente o BD-P4600, que me lembra muito do fantástico CD player de Naoto Fukasawa. Os tocadores contam com BD-Live Profile 2.0 (via Ethernet ou adaptador Wi-Fi na conexão USB) e decodificação de Dolby DIgital Plus, Dolby TrueHD e DTS-HD HR/MA, além de transmitirem streaming do Netflix Watch Instantly e do Pandora. À venda ainda neste semestre.

    SAMSUNG’S LATEST AWARD-WINNING BLU-RAY PLAYERS OPEN UP A NEW MULTIMEDIA EXPERIENCE PORTAL

    BD-P4600 Delivers HD Entertainment for the Whole Family in Contemporary Style;
    BD-P3600 Satisfies Home Theater Enthusiasts with Superior Sights and Sounds

    LAS VEGAS, January 7, 2009 – Samsung Electronics America, Inc., a market leader
    and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, today unveiled the world’s first
    wall-mountable Blu-ray player, the BD-P4600, as well as the new standard for Blu-ray
    performance and versatility, the BD-P3600. A 2009 CES “Best of Innovations” Award
    Winner, the BD-P4600 unites a plethora of multimedia features in a svelte, first-in-class
    package. The enthusiasts’ choice, the BD-P3600 promises top-notch video playback,
    comprehensive audio decoding, and unprecedented networking capabilities for an
    immersive, theater-like experience. Both players set a new direction for the Blu-ray
    category with wireless networking, access to video and music streaming services, such
    as Netflix and Pandora, as well as sleek designs. Samsung’s new Blu-ray players will
    be on display at Booth #11033 during the International Consumer Electronics Show,
    which will be held at the Las Vegas Convention Center, January 8 -11, 2009.

    “Samsung is heralding a new direction for the Blu-ray industry with the BD-P4600 and
    BD-P3600," said Reid Sullivan, vice president of Audio/Video and Digital Imaging
    Marketing at Samsung Electronics America. “The BD-P4600 makes it easier than ever
    to bring Blu-ray into the living room with its unique, wall-mountable design, while the
    BD-P3600’s comprehensive specs place it on the short list of even the most discerning
    home theater consumers.”

    The BD-P4600 and BD-P3600 include BD Live™ (Profile 2.0) and Bonus View (Profile
    1.1) support, Full HD 1080p Blu-ray playback with DVD upscaling, and total HD
    soundtrack support. Standard CD playback, with support for JPEG photos and DivX
    videos, ensure even more entertainment value with the BD-P4600 and BD-P3600.

    A New Era of Functional Design
    Samsung’s newest Blu-ray players continue the trend of stylish and décor-friendly
    electronics, with new versions of Samsung’s groundbreaking Touch of Color™ (ToC™)
    design and touch sensitive controls. The BD-P3600’s traditional set-top form is just over
    two inches tall, and comes encased in deep black with charcoal gray highlights curving
    along the outer edges. The wall-mountable BD-P4600 is just 1.5 inches thin with a
    piano black design infused with ruby highlights, and finished with clear, prism-like
    edging. If wall-mounting is not an option, an integrated stand lets the BD-P4600 be
    placed on a table at a 25 degree angle.

    Cutting Wires Without Cutting Back on Entertainment
    Both the BD-P4600 and BD-P3600 can wirelessly connect to the latest Blu-ray features
    when the included 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi dongle is connected to one of the players’ two
    USB 2.0 ports, or via the traditional wired Ethernet connection. The two players can also
    instantly stream more than 12,000 movies and TV episodes from Netflix and Pandora
    music services (subscriptions required), to deliver an ever-expanding library of
    entertainment into the living room without having to leave the house. And with 1GB
    internal flash memory, both players can access the latest BD Live™ and Bonus View
    Blu-ray features out of the box, leaving the USB 2.0 ports for wireless networking and
    memory expansion duties when needed.

    Speedy Control and Upgradeability
    Samsung’s newest Blu-ray players improve traditional disc loading time to begin fast
    playback and can eject a disc in a single second. The players’ touch sensitive controls

    help to create a seamless experience that is pleasing to see, hear, and ultimately, use.
    To keep consumers updated with the latest features and improvements, Samsungs BD-
    P4600 and BD-P3600 also can easily access upgrades wirelessly via the included
    802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi dongle, through the wired Ethernet connection, by connecting a USB
    drive, or with a CD / DVD / BD.

    Total Full HD 1080p Video and HD Soundtrack Support
    Samsung’s BD-P4600 and BD-P3600 promise Full HD 1080p playback of Blu-ray discs
    and crisp upconversion of standard DVDs through the HDMI 1.3 connection. For a true,
    Hollywood-quality experience, both players can internally decode the latest high-
    resolution digital multichannel audio soundtracks, including Dolby Digital Plus™, Dolby
    TrueHD™ and dts-HD HR / MA®. The BD-P3600 can also output any of the
    soundtracks as a bitstream through its 7.1-Channel analog audio outputs, or as an
    uncompressed PCM signal, for consumers desiring the best cinematic sound with an
    older A/V receiver.
