Seems like Toshiba bit off more Blu-ray 3D than it could chew this year -- the Japanese firm's just announced that the new BDX3100KB will be its first set-top stereoscopic player, never mind the BDX3000 it announced at CES. Still, we're willing to forgive and forget if the new machine (replete with DivX and MKV playback, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 surround, and instant playback of AVCHD footage from connected camcorders) makes it stateside sometime soon -- both it and the relatively boring BDX1100 standard Blu-ray unit are presently slated for a UK release (at unspecified prices) in October of this year.
The BDX3100KB provides Full HD 1920x1080p 3D output, creating an outstanding next generation home cinema experience. Blu-ray™ movies are played back at 24 frames per second, preserving their original atmosphere and quality to provide smooth, cinematic playback exactly how the movie director intended.
A 3D-capable HDMI® port allows output of 3D content from Blu-ray 3D™ discs to a 3D capable TV set, allowing users to enjoy a fully immersive home cinema experience. REGZA-LINK (HDMI-CEC) technology via HDMI also enables users to control the BDX3100KB and compatible TV sets with a single remote control for ultimate convenience.
Lifelike pictures are accompanied by equally impressive audio, with the BDX3100KB offering true surround sound. Dolby® TrueHD and DTS®-HD Master Audio | Essential™ provide a cinema like experience, reproducing high-quality uncompressed audio to a maximum of 7.1 channels.
Multi-format support
The BDX3100KB supports a wide selection of formats, including image, video and audio files in MKV, DivX, HD-JPEG and MP3 formats, whilst an integrated USB input situated on the front of the sleek body allows data to be read from compatible USB sticks. To offer instant playback of home movies, the BDX3100KB is also capable of translating AVCHD-compressed footage, offering instant and simple playback of videos shot on personal camcorders.
Users can also take advantage of bonus material available on Blu-ray discs thanks to full support for BD Live™ (Profile 2.0). By using the BDX3100KB‟s remote control, users can navigate movie menus for access to a range of interactive features, including exclusive downloads, additional „making-of footage‟, chats and games.
