Marantz unveils first 1080p DVD player
Share
Some every exciting news from Marantz, which has just delivered the DV9600, the very first DVD player, or apparently any source component, capable of a 1080p high definition video signal.
As you probably already know 1080p is the ultimate high definition format matching the best HD resolution with progressive scan for ensuring a smooth and jitter free image. No European broadcaster has yet proposed to deliver footage in 1080p although there are some 1080p projection systems already on the market.
The £1500 player also features video scaling circuitry, which also allows upsampling of standard DVD images to 720p and 1080 high def quality. More here and on our HDTV blog HDTVUK.
