Samsung Electronics reveals the second generation of its Blu-Ray player during Consumers Electronic Show 2007 event on 8-11 January at Las Vegas. This is the successor of BD-P1000 player released back in June 2006. Powered by Hollywood Quality Video (HQV) processor, the player offers true 1080i to 1080p HD de-interlacing, even from non-Blu-ray formats. There’s also a HDMI connection that enhanced the quality of the sound (via 7.1-channel Dolby Digital plus) and color. And thanks to the Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) technology, the unit can be controlled by Samsung’s universal BD player, TV, and A/V remote control.

BD-P1200 Blu-Ray Player supports the 192KHz LPCM, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, MPEG 2, DTS and MP3 formats. Apart from Blu-Ray, it is also compatible with traditional media, such as DVD and CD. Furthermore, there’s a “Easy Top Menu” function which lets users change the font and color of subtitles, menu titles, background color, and menu graphics according to their preference.

Priced at $799, Samsung will start shipping BD-P1200 Blu-Ray player some time this month.
