Sony’s latest Blu-ray Disc player, the BDP-S780, has been enhanced with 3D capability and is the first of its category to offer Skype.
The built-in Skype app allows users to connect a USB TV camera and then talk face-to-face with others. It is Wi-Fi enabled (802.11n) and features Sony’s HomeShare Network speaker compatibility and access to online content.
It offers access to over 40 free movies along with video and music services via the Bravia web video platform which also includes Sony’s VOD and Music Unlimited which are powered by Qriocity.
The new model is compatible with Blu-ray 3D as well as DVDs, CDs, and SACDs. It can convert 2D content to simulated 3D and is said to enhance SD and web quality video via IP Content Noise Reduction technology and Precision Cinema HS Upscaling technologies.
