Sony Corp. has announced a new Blu-Ray player for the European market. The BDP-S1E is described by the company as ",one of the most powerful and intelligent consumer audio and video devices", it has ever manufactured. It supports 24p True Cinema, playing back video at the original 24 frames per second if the television set supports it.
The player provides full support for 1080p (1920 x 1080p) video content and can upscale DVD-Video content to 1080p. The company said that the BDP-S1E will be available throughout Europe from summer this year. However, consumers may want to hold off on investing in Blu-ray player until after October 31st.
The Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) has mandated that all hardware released after that date must fully support BD-J, which provides interactivity features for Blu-ray movies including menus and PIP.
