NAD Has always waited out technology to see which of the thousands of technology buzz words will actually transform into higher performance for our valued T 587 Blu-ray Disc Playercustomers. After a critical proving period of Blu-ray technology NAD is proud to announce the T 587 Blu-ray Disc Player featuring Fast-Loading, New BD Java, HDMI 1.3, Stunning 1080p Image Quality, and Advanced HD Audio Decoding.

Of course, the T 587 does far more than play and interact with Blu-ray Discs. Its video and audio performance are both outstanding, and its versatility is suggested by its ability to play Blu-ray discs in BD-ROM, BD-R and BD-RE formats, conventional DVDs in NTSC and PAL, and several other popular disc formats, including DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW, and Audio CDs. The T 587 also loads discs very quickly, unlike many other Blu-ray players that take more than a minute to do so. Anyone who has ever pressed Play only to stare at a dark screen as the seconds ticked away will appreciate this feature.

The T 587, like other Blu-ray players, employs a violet laser whose light wavelength is shorter than the red lasers DVD and CD players use. This lets the laser read a smaller spot that's more densely packed with the pits that generate the digital ones and zeros representing the picture and sound the player decodes. A Blu-ray Disc can have over five times the data capacity of a DVD, and can only be transmitted from the player to a TV display by the encrypted HDMI interface. High Definition playback requires the entire signal path be capable of a digital bandwidth of 150 Megahertz, which means employing the latest TVs and A/V Receivers, Category 2 HDMI cables, and a system that supports 1080p resolution.

With Blu-ray's native resolution of 1080p and pure digital transmission via HDMI, the T 587 delivers stunning picture quality, especially on screen sizes 50 inches and larger. Even standard definition DVDs benefit from NAD's upscaling engine. The T 587 supports 1080p at 24 frames per second for the most fluid motion available from film-based material, avoiding motion artefacts from the “3:2 Pull Down†effect common on conventional DVD players.

For enhanced image quality, the T 587 also supports Deep Colour and xvYCC Extended Colour Space to provide an exceptionally wide colour gamut and further extend the colour range. Operating controls include fast forward and reverse, slow and step forward, search, repeat and random play, picture-in-picture, and a parental lock.ehe T 587 delivers studio master quality audio in a home entertainment format. Most Blu-ray Discs offer Dolby TrueHD, a high-definition, 7.1 linear pulse code modulation (LPCM) soundtrack with 24-bit resolution. This is a format the T 587 supports via HDMI. The T 587 also supports the new HD formats from Dolby T 587 Blu-ray Disc Playerand DTS that offer 'lossless' compression. They can be decoded in the T 587 and sent as LPCM via HDMI, or forwarded compressed to another component that supports decoding.
