NAD Adds Wi-Fi Blu-ray Players
Component-audio supplier NAD added embedded Wi-Fi, PC networking, 7.1-channel analog outputs and embedded 1GB flash memory to its next generation of Blu-ray players, which were unveiled here at the CEDIA Expo.
Like a current model that will be phased out, the two new models conform to the Blu-ray Profile 2.0 specification. They are the $999-suggested T577 and $1,999 Master-series M56.
Both products are the company's first networked devices, and both feature wired Ethernet port and embedded Wi-Fi to stream BD-Live content from the Internet. They also feature DLNA certification to stream audio, video and photos stored on a networked PC.
Other features common to both include decoding of all Blu-ray surround formats, playback of content from a USB 2.0 drive, 1080p 24/50/60Hz playback, Deep Color and xvYCC support, playback of DivX and DivX HD video, AVCHD playback, and 1080p up-scaling via component and HDMI outputs
