What You Need to Know about Video

What is Blu-ray?

The Best Picture

This next generation optical disc format brings you the highest Full HD 1080p experience. That means it allows you to get the best picture quality available from your HDTV. It even improves old DVDs. 1080p upscaling improves their picture quality so they look their best in Full HD.

The Best Capabilities

Blu-ray utilizes the latest laser technology, offering up to 5 times the digital detail of traditional DVDs. More detail means more room for cool features and extra content.

The Best Sound

Blu-ray lets you enjoy the best sound available for your entertainment. Supports the latest advanced digital audio formats for stunning and realistic surround sound.

What is Instant Streaming?

Streaming is a process whereby digital media such as movies and television programs can be accessed on a user’s preferred media player as the data is being transferred. This revolutionary process allows viewers instant access to an ever-expanding library of networked content such as Netflix® and YouTube™. Streaming is the next step in truly personalized entertainment, giving users the ability to experience media on demand, in exceptional audio and video quality, from the comfort of their home.

What do I need?

To gain instant, unparalleled access to the ever-expanding variety of networked movies and TV episodes, you will need a media viewing device with a high-speed Internet connection and a contract with a movie service provider. Now stream movies, TV shows and video, to your TV directly using Netflix®, CinemaNow and YouTube™. Selections begin playing in as little as 30 seconds, with no personal computer needed. Movie enthusiasts can also take advantage of special Blu-ray content with BD Live and Bonus View selections, both of which offer a wide variety of streaming add-ons, such as movie scene extras, previews, synopses, and special features.

What are DVD Regions?

DVD Regions are restrictions encoded onto a DVD that determine where in the world it can be played. Hong Kong belongs to region code 3.

What is the purpose of DVD Regions?

The purpose of DVD Regions is to allow motion picture studios to control several aspects of their DVD movie releases, including content, release date, and price.

How does this affect me?

DVD players are formatted to only play DVDs with your region code. In other words, you will not be able to watch a DVD with a region code that is not your own, which in most cases is not a problem.
