Building upon the launch of its BD-P1000 first-generation Blu-ray player in June 2006, Samsung will launch its BD-P1200 series of second-generation Blu-ray players in 2007.

Samsung?s BD-1200 Blu-Ray player will feature storage capacity that is 5X larger than DVDs. The BD-P1200 playe is equipped with the Hollywood Quality Video (HQV) processor, a powerful unit similar to ones used by Hollywood studios in production.

With the HQV processor, the BD-P1200 player offers increased picture quality by refining image projection, even from non Blu-ray formats. HDMI boosts the quality of the sound (via 7.1-channel Dolby Digital Plus) and color.



The BD-P1200 plays DVDs and CDs as well as Blu-ray discs, and supports the 192KHz LPCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, MPEG-2, DTS and MP3 formats.

The BD-P1200 will also play multimedia content from a variety of formats including 720p, 1080i and 1080p resolutions.
