Panasonic 2012 Blu-ray Player Lineup

At CES 2012, Panasonic announced four 3D blu-ray players (known as the palm-sized DMP-BBT01, “audiophile-grade” DMP-BDT500, DMP-BDT320, DMP-BDT220) and a couple of 2D Blu-ray Disc players were also released – DMP-BD87 and the DMP-BD77. We will concentrate on the four 3D capable models, as they will include Panasonic’s proprietary IPTV platform, VIERA Connect, whereas the 2D-only models will feature IP VOD (Video On Demand), a service that delivers a limited albeit targeted selection of sites including Netflix, Vudu, CinemaNow and YouTube.

One thing for sure – regardless of which model you pick up, Panasonic makes sure that the design are guaranteed to fit into any living room configuration. Looking sleek and all stylish, the Full HD 3D Blu-ray Disc players will feature an improved UniPhier chip processor, 24p output for VOD, an expanded VIERA Connect functionality, and FLAC (Free Lossless Audio Codec), 192kHz/32bit Audio DAC (not available on the DMP-BBT01), Smartphone remote control capability, and a new touchpad remote control.

As for the DMP-BBT01, DMP-BDT500, and DMP-BDT320 models, those also offer 2D-to-3D up-conversion, converting 2D images from VIERA Connect, DVDs and Blu-ray discs into 3D with natural depth perception. With a new slim design and a unique slot-in drive that is available on the DMP-BBT01 and the DMP-BDT320, they pave the way for a tray-less design, preventing one from inadvertently loading a second disc. Not only that, the palm-sized DMP-BBT01 also makes sure your living room is far more unique to look at thanks to its stand which allows it to operate either vertically or horizontally.
