Tascam has launched the BD-01U Blu-Ray recorder, a single-rackspace player for the installation market targeting education, houses of worship, boardroom, and other ‘high-stress’ installs.
Building on the earlier DV-D01U, the BD-01U Hi-Definition player includes control via LAN, RS-232C, and an included wireless remote. DVD, WAV, MP3, DTS, and Dolby playback are also supported. Media can be played back at up to 130 per cent speed.
A pair of balanced XLR and RCA unbalanced outputs is provided on the rear panel, in addition to the HDMI audio/video output. The analogue outputs can be attenuated up to -12dB. Both optical and coaxial digital audio outs are also provided. Other professional features include a defeatable on-screen display, chapter repeat function, and JPEG slideshow.
Available from May 2016 the BD-01U will carry an estimated street price of US$399.99.
