HD DVD to Launch New 3rd Generation Players! More Features, Lower Prices, and all function to a working player standard! The news leaked out slowly at first, then suddenly was confirmed by Toshiba... three new HD DVD players are about to be launched to the market! (If you're not yet an AVS member, you may want to sign up so you can see the pre-order deal being launched later on today here). Specs are to be posted as PDFs also. "Toshiba's third generation family starts with the entry level HD-A3 player featuring 1080i output capability. The other two new models, Toshiba's HD-A30 and HD-A35, will output 1080p resolution (1920 x 1080p), the highest HD signal currently available. Both models are capable of outputing signals at 1080p/24 frames per second so consumers can enjoy movies in their native frame rate. The HD-A30 and HD-A35 models also feature "CE-Link" (HDMI CEC), allowing two-way control between the HD DVD player and a TV through an HDMI connection. The top-of-the-line HD-A35 also adds support for Deep Color via HDMI allowing compatible display devices to deliver outstanding video quality — displaying millions of possible colors to billions of possible colors. Additionally, the HD-A35 offers 5.1 channel analog output and High Bit Rate Audio (up to 7.1 channel) via HDMI. With content encoded in 7.1ch, this advanced surround sound is achieved through the HDMI connection bypassing the player's internal audio processor and sending the signal to a 7.1 capable A/V receiver. High Bit Rate Audio will allow the consumer to integrate the HD-A35 with the latest multi-channel A/V receivers and enjoy a whole new dimension of high definition home entertainment." Most importantly, even to studios like Paramount and Dreamworks, these players continue the DVD Forum's commitment to maintaining a solid, yet more advanced, player specifcation that ensures that ALL HD DVD players will be able to play the advanced interactive features found on today's and tomorrow's movie titles, starting with the very first HD DVD player released to the market, the trusty A1. Yet, they add more advanced features for owner's enjoyment and benefit. Love it!
