You need to be able to see and hear the difference when comparing Blu-ray to DVD. Being able to read/talk about the differences is simply not good enough. Through Pioneer's unique ability to deliver an entire Full-HD solution and not rely on other brands to complete the experience, the BDPLX71 works in tandem with our KURO plasma TVs and HD surround receivers, enabling us to showcase the difference in quality between Blu-ray and DVD. See the difference with Pioneer Blu-ray 1080p/24fps Once the eyes get a taste of Blu-ray picture quality on the Pioneer BDPLX71 Blu-ray Disc player, there is simply no going back. Offering unparalleled Blu-ray playback image quality, Pioneer is at the forefront of this market. The BDPLX71 boasts 1080p/24 frames per second (fps) output, enabling consumers to see the movie exactly as the director intended, eliminating any artificial manipulation (eg 3-2 pull down). BonusView (Profile 1.1) With more advanced ‘extra’s’ being added to Blu-ray movies these days, the Pioneer BDPLX71 Blu-ray allows you take advantage of these bonus features thanks to BonusView support. Courtesy of BonusView support, users can watch a Blu-ray disc movie whilst watching the bonus features at the same time (picture in picture). Consumer Convenience & Enhanced Picture Quality Settings Pioneer takes image quality a step further with an exclusive Picture Control Suite, which is comprised of an additional 13 video adjustments, which allow the user to fine tune smaller picture details of a film and deliver an experience that best suits a user’s viewing preference. Further to Pioneer’s BDPLX71 offering Advance Picture Calibration, the personal customisation options on this new model continues with a Video Adjust Mode, which provides a series of image modifications (Plasma / LCD / Pioneer Plasma / Projector / Commercial Display) to optimise the picture displayed on a connected HDTV. Therefore, the BDPLX71 Blu-ray Disc player enables the user to custom the image according to what display the player is connected to, including an LCD, plasma or specifically, a Pioneer plasma, etc.
Due to the exclusive chip set design and build quality Pioneer is now utilizing, significant strides in speed performance have been made with the new players to now rival the rapid playback rate consumers have come to experience when using their DVD players. This platform greatly improves disc load, power on, power off and disc eject times. With a continued focus on unifying the appearance and enhancing the operation of its home theatre products, Pioneer has integrated the same graphic user interface found on its KURO displays and HD receivers. 12-Bit Deep Colour Taking advantage of HDMI® 1.3a technology, Pioneer brings film aficionados to the frontier of next generation entertainment with the most cutting edge video processing available. Since its market inception, Blu-ray technology has promised to deliver picture quality that is on par with going to the movies. When it comes to delivering on that promise, the Pioneer BDPLX71 Blu-ray Disc player surpasses its predecessor (BDP-LX70A), thanks to the implementation of 12Bit Deep Colour. Equipped with 12-Bit Deep Colour, the BDPLX71 produces an unprecedented range of hues and shades, resulting in greater colour depth and detail. High Definition Noise Reduction To reduce the picture artefacts left by MPEG compression, the BDPLX71 features three different noise reduction circuits, including 3D Noise Reduction and Block / Mosquito Noise Reduction. The 3D Noise Reduction is based on pixel-per-pixel basis to reduce Gaussian Noise without blurring the image, whilst the Block and Mosquito Noise Reduction enhances poorly created content. High Quality Playback of Existing DVD Library Pioneer has continued to enhance high performance DVD playback on the BDPLX71 with the inclusion of the proprietary and advanced PureCinema Deinterlacer, which essentially eliminates jiggered lines that can negatively affect the viewing experience. DVDs can be up-scaled to a 1080p resolution for improved picture quality and compatibility with HDTVs.
