BD-Live (BD-ROM Profile 2) lets users connect the Blu-ray Disc™ Players to the Internet to download data such as images and subtitles, and to join in quizzes and multi-player interactive games that are linked to bonus movie content contained on Blu-ray discs. BD-Live also supports other interactive functions, such as Picture-in-Picture and Audio Mixing.

Unique to Blu-ray, the Final Standard Profile adds feature such as Picture-in-Picture and Audio Mixing. As you watch a movie, for example, the director can appear in a small window and give you the inside scoop on what's happening. DMP-BD50 supports the Final Standard Profile.

We started with the P4HD image processor, then went a step further by adding Deep Color compatibility, with 4,096 steps of gradation that provide even smoother, finer-quality images. The DMP-BD50 also provides 1080/24p playback, so you can enjoy the same 24-fps (frames per second) reproduction as the original movie.

And the sound is simply sensational, thanks to Dolby® TrueHD and DTS™-HD bitstream output. Altogether, the high-fidelity video and lifelike audio of the DMP-BD50 deliver the kind of excitement and emotional impact you generally experience only in a movie theater.
