The T 587 brings NAD's penchant for performance to the exciting new Blu-ray Disc format. NAD is one of a handful of brands to bring a Profile 2.0 Blu-ray Disc Player to market at this time. Brimming with the latest features like BD Live Network connectivity, the T 587 offers, for the first time, a true High Definition source for digital Home Theatre systems. With Blu-ray's native resolution of 1080p and pure digital transmission via HDMI the picture quality is nothing short of stunning. Even standard definition DVD's get a boost from NAD's upscaling engine with resolution to 1080p. The T 587 also supports 1080p at 24 frames per second for the most fl uid motion from fi lm based material (this must be supported by the TV display) avoiding the "3:2 Pull Down" motion artifacts common on DVD Players. Audio Performance Most Blu-ray Discs offer a true high definition audio 7.1 Linear PCM soundtrack with 24 bit resolution, and the T 587 supports this format via HDMI. Also supported are the new HD formats from Dolby and DTS that offer 'lossless' compression. These can be decoded in the T 587 and sent as LPCM via HDMI, or can be forwarded in compressed form to another component that supports decoding. Of course the legacy formats of Dolby Digital and DTS are also supported and sent as bitstreams via HDMI, Coax or Optical connections. Dolby Digital Plus is a new and backwardly compatible Dolby format that increases the bit rate considerably for improved fidelity and also offers support for up to 10.2 channels. There is also support for Audio CD's and CD-R's with MP3 or WMA decoding.
