Final Standard Profile 1.1
Final Standard Profile - an advanced function added to BD-ROM Profile 1 Ver.1.1 - creates a range of exciting new entertainment possibilities. It opens the door to new functions such as Picture-in-Picture (which displays a second image in a sub-window) and Audio Mixing (which lets you switch the sound between the main and sub windows). A function that will allow new kinds of bonus movie content is also a possibility.
Picture In Picture
With Picture-in-Picture, a small sub-window is displayed over the main image. There are four Picture-in-Picture modes, each offering distinct functions. They include Enhanced Commentary, Backstage Pass Function, Peek Behind The Animation and Audio Mixing.
Enhanced Commentary
Blu-ray disc media goes a big step beyond the kind of audio commentary provided in many DVD movies, such as a director discussing the film. Enhanced Commentary makes it possible, for example, for the director or actors to appear in the sub-window (as if they are standing in front of the screen) and point to actors or equipment as they make their comments.
Backstage Pass Function
This lets you access additional information provided about people, places or things in a Blu-ray disc movie. Just use the remote control to select an element highlighted on the screen, and a sub-window opens with the information. For example, there could be notes about the clothing or accessories an actor is wearing or the restaurant in which a scene is set.
Peek Behind The Animation
While playing back a movie with dubbed-in voices - for example, a feature-length animation ? this feature lets you watch in a sub-window as the voice actors read their parts. You can see the voice actors' gestures and expressions as they speak, giving you an inside look at a whole facet of moviemaking you've never seen before.
Audio Mixing
The Audio Mixing function lets you choose which soundtrack to listen to: the one from the content playing in the main window, the one from the sub-window, or both at the same time.
Other Possibility of Final Standard Profile
The future is expected to bring a host of imaginative new features. For example, you may be able to purchase and download additional content from the website to an SD Memory Card, and play the Blu-ray disc movie and the content on the SD Memory Card at the same time, for new entertainment possibilities.
Video:
P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)
To get the best HD images from a BD-Video disc, you need a player that renders high-quality progressive images, expresses motion smoothly, and draws sharp diagonal lines. The DMP-BD30's P4HD processes more than 15 billion pixels per second and applies the optimum processing to every pixel in the video data on the disc. The result is images with exceptional resolution.
HDMI V.1.3 with Deep Colour
The DMP-BD30's HDMI output is Deep Colour compatible. While the earlier HDMI V.1.2 offers 8-bit, 256-step gradation, HDMI V.1.3 bumps it all the way up to 12-bit, 4,096-step gradation. This helps the DMP-BD30 reproduce natural looking colours with smooth gradation and minimal colour banding.
*An HDMI V.1.3 with Deep Colour compatible TV is required.
1080/24p Playback
The DMP-BD30 provides 1080/24p output (via HDMI). It reproduces movie images from a Blu-ray Disc in their original 24p form, with no need for conversion. You see movies in the same format used in movie theatres.
DivX Playback
The DMP-BD30 is able to play video data recorded onto a CD-R/CD-RW or DVD-R/DVD-R DL in the DivX format.
Audio:
HD Audio Codec Bitstream Output
The DMP-BD30 supports HDMI V.1.3 specifications, so it can output high bit rate audio signals (Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD) encoded on Blu-ray Discs in bitstream. If used with a compatible AV amp, the resulting audio is studio-master-quality sound.
