Profile 2.0

(synonyms: BD-Live)

BD-MV has three distinct profiles associated with it. Different profiles support different features and require different hardware. The reason for multiple profiles was the lack of a finished specification at the time the first players were designed. Since hardware requirements for more advanced BD-MV profiles build on the requirements for earlier profiles, some first and second generation players may be capable of being upgraded to support the final BD-MV Profile.

Profile 2.0 is the highest profile in the Blu-ray specifications increases internal storage to no less than 1GB and adds an internet connection for downloading content in conjunction with BD-MV programming.

Profile 2.0 is also known as BD-Live and there are currently only a few players available that have the specification. Many are announced but have not hit stores yet. Those include the Sony BDP-S550, the Sony PlayStation 3, Pioneer BDP-LX91, Samsung BD-P2500, Panasonic DMP-BD50, and Sharp BD-HP50U.
