Panasonic DMR-UBZ1
Panasonic will soon begin selling in Japan a Blu-ray Disc player compatible with 4K UltraHD discs, the first such player in the world.
UltraHD (4K) has four times the resolution than conventional high definition and is being promoted hard by major consumer electronics companies as a reason for people to upgrade their TVs.
Until now, the only way to get UltraHD content onto a compatible set was through one of a handful of Internet streaming services. Netflix, Amazon and YouTube provide 4K streams for selected programming.
In May this year, the companies behind Blu-ray Disc finalised the standard for UltraHD content on discs and that’s what the Panasonic machine supports.
It’s larger than some recent Blu-ray Disc players but does pack a 3Tb hard-disk drive for recording terrestrial and satellite TV.
It also supports HDR (high-dynamic range) pictures on compatible televisions.
Price: 400,000 yen (€3,000)
