At the CES show in Las Vegas, Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. unveiled its Blu-ray line, with seven new products, four of them 3D compatible, and three supporting 3D upconversion using Samsung's system-on-chip (SoC). They include the world's slimmest 3D Blu-Ray disc player (model BD-D7500); a compact and minimalist 3D Blu-ray disc player design (model BD-D7000); a 3D Blu-ray with dual HDMI and mobile phone control options (model BD-D6700); and a Blu-ray player with built-in Wi-Fi and 3D (model BD-D6500).
All the new models are conceived following Samsung's "3S" (symmetric, slim and slot-in) concept design philosophy.
Samsung's premium Blu-ray line-up also includes advanced Smart Blu-ray features – such as AllShare and Smart Hub, which includes Your Video, Search All and Samsung Apps – that make it even easier for people to access and share content that speak to their passions.
The entire line will also offer Samsung's new patented One Foot Connection feature when used in conjunction with Samsung wireless router CY-SWR1100 (a simultaneous dual-N band, 802.11 a/b/g/n-compatible wireless router). During the initial set-up of the router, users simply need to put the Blu-ray and other compatible devices within one foot of the router to establish a connection; the devices can subsequently be moved to any part of the home while still maintaining this connection.
Additionally, Ultra Fast Play significantly reduces the start time by 80 percent when compared to 2010 models.
