New Panasonic Ultra HD Blu-ray Player Supports 4K and HDR

During a CES press event in Las Vegas, Panasonic showed a prototype Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc Player (the Blu-ray Disc Association is finalizing the new Ultra HD Blu-ray format standard). While a formal release date for the player was not announced, the first film titles are reportedly slated for release before the end of 2015. According to HDTVtest, the new standard will use the H.265 HEVC codec and will support 3,840 x 2,160 video at up to 60 frames per second, the BT.2020 wide color gamut, and 10-bit video encoding. One of the more interesting features will be support for High Dynamic Range (HDR) video, which significantly expands the brightness peak.
