LAS
VEGAS -- Giving consumers the best picture and ultimate
convenience, Philips is introducing the world's first Wireless HDMI
Blu-ray player (BDP7580) today at the 2011 Consumer Electronics
Show (CES). This wireless HDMI player is packed with features such
as 3D playback, Philips MediaConnect, NetTV, Netflix™ and
Blockbuster™ streaming, that not only bring movies to life
but allow consumers unlimited access between their PC and TV. The
addition of wireless HDMI eliminates the clutter with only ONE cord,
the power cord.
With MediaConnect, consumers can wirelessly connect the PC to the
TV for unlimited access to online movies, photos, videos, social
networking and more. The computer desktop is mirrored on the TV
screen and the entire Internet is one click away. And with the addition
of NetTV, consumers have the ability to press one button and stream
4500+ HD Channels through the Philips Blu-ray player directly to
the TV. NetTV also allows consumers to access VUDU® - offering
them another advantage with access to view online videos and photos
through popular sites such as Facebook and Twitter via the home
theater system. VUDU also offers the most HD movies available to
consumers.
"Consumers
want to be able to stream content, including 3D movies, to their
TV and now with this player they can cut the cord and stream wirelessly,"
said Todd Richardson, senior vice president of sales and marketing
for P&F, the exclusive manufacturer and distributor for Philips
televisions and home theater systems in the U.S. "Blu-ray is
the choice for HD content and adding wireless HDMI frees the consumer
from cumbersome cabling and unsightly wires on the wall .The Philips
7580 enabled with Philips MediaConnect and NetTV, gives the added
value of being able to go online on your TV, regardless of the brand."
The Philips
BDP7580 player also features a host of streaming options such as
Netflix, Blockbuster, FilmFresh and Pandora - making it easy for
consumers to have instant access to unlimited entertainment. The
player process full 1080p at 24fps for cinema-like images and upscales
consumers' existing DVDs quality to 1080p to make the picture look
even better regardless of the TV brand. All models also offer AVCHD
playback ensuring users can watch a wealth of videos without limiting
their format options.
The BDP
7580 features a sleek design with a touch screen controls and a
simple dongle connection to the back of the TV ensures secure streaming
without unsightly wires. The new design assures this a look that
will fit with any environment.
