Samsung’s new BD-C5900, BD-C6800 and BD-C7900 have already been sighted on its US Web site and some online commerce sites. The entry-level BD-C5900 priced at US$299 may be a direct response to the value-for-money US$199 Sony BDP-S470. On the other hand, the BD-C6800 drops the original BD-C6900’s fancy disc tray window for integrated Wi-Fi. Then, there’s the flagship BD-C7900, which goes one step further with two HDMI outputs similar to Panasonic’s DMP-BDT350, to support legacy A/V receivers without 3D compatibility.

Internet connectivity is catered for via onboard Ethernet input, upgradeable to Wi-Fi through an optional USB dongle. Another new feature is iControlAV app compatibility for iPhone and iPod touch, which enables users to operate these players wirelessly utilizing Wi-Fi through walls. In terms of core Blu-ray functions, these Pioneers can internally decode high-resolution Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio surround sound and are BD-Live-ready. The latter requires an external USB storage to be installed for downloading additional movie content. There’re front and rear USB ports to enable both Wi-Fi and BD-Live, but this takes up all the jacks for MP3/JPEG playback from thumbdrives. The premium BDP-LX53 also sports an armored chassis for vibration damping, as well as higher-grade parts. Another key feature for this two players is the firm’s proprietary PQLS technology, designed to minimize jitter in HDMI connection to improve music sound quality.

The next-generation BDXL format has finally arrived with Sharp’s announcement of its 100/128GB BDXL-R and 100GB BDXL-RE discs. These media offer higher storage capacities than regular 50GB Blu-ray discs by compressing three (100GB) and four (128GB) layers into a single platter. At the moment, only Sharp’s recently launched BD-HDW700 and BD-HDW70 digital video recorders (DVR) are compatible with BDXL media. These DVRs are equipped with up to 2TB onboard hard drives and support 3D Blu-ray playback. The 100GB BDXL-R can record up to 12 hours of terrestrial digital programs. This and other BDXL media, together with the recorders. It’ll probably take a while before they find their way to the rest of the world. We won’t be surprised to see 3D BDXL coming soon, too, since full-HD 3D movies require twice the disc space compared with their plain vanilla 2D versions.
