Standard definition DVD titles can be upscaled by the player to 1080p. The BDP7200 supports Full HD images at the original 24fps rate via High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) and "Deep Color" support, capable of producing images with up to 1 billion colors. "Blu-ray Disc has rapidly become the format of choice for high-definition movies, music, games and more," said Andy Mintz, senior vice president, marketing management AM/VM, Philips Consumer Lifestyle North America.
Mintz added: "With a greater breadth of available hardware, more support from the Hollywood studios and more capacity for growth in the future, consumers are clearly weighing-in in favor of Blu. Our BDP7200 joins Philips' growing family of Blu-ray Disc products, delivering the best possible Full HD picture quality, full surround sound capabilities and more."
The feature list doesn't stop here either; the BDP7200 fully supports BD-Java for interactivity features of the Blu-ray format, Picture-in-Picture (PIP) support and features HDMI's Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) features to control an entire home entertainment system with a single remote.
The Philips BDP7200 will be available in April at a suggested retail price of $349.
