Come on Panny BD50!

I knew it, I figured they were just letting others do it first.

Hopefully that means we'll get 2.0 also.

 

[SatinKzo]

IMO 2.0 is so easily a done deal, just biding time. Like you posted, waiting for at least one SA player to do it first.

Come on Panny BD50!

Aren't there other SA BD players already out there that have DTS-MA decoding such as the Panasonic DMP-BD30K? By this theory, the "other brand" player is already out there, so there should be no waiting for the PS3 to release their DTS-MA update....

Did not think the BD30 did MA.

Did not think the BD30 did MA.

Upon further research, the BD30 doesn't distinguish between DTS-MA and DTS-HD. It does have an HDMI 1.3 output though and will transmit the raw bitstreams of these formats via HDMI: DD+, TrueHD and DTS-HD.

See High-Def Digest's Hardware Review on the BD-30: here.

Guess we will have to wait for the BD50 before the PS3 gets the DTS-MA/2.0 attention....

I think the Panny BD50 will be the first player to decode DTSHD-MA on the market.

 

[SatinKzo]

I think the Panny BD50 will be the first player to decode DTSHD-MA on the market.

And the PS3 will be 2nd (or maybe 3rd).

at what price?

at what price?

Oh come on now, did it cost you anything for 1.1? Uh no.

 

[JoeSp]

at what price?

Upgrades on the PS3 are free!

 

[gadgtfreek]

Just Vurbano doing what he hates others to do, spreading FUD.
