TASCAM Announces BD-01U Blu-ray Player

Single-rackspace Player a Reliable Choice for Installation

TASCAM has launched the BD-01U Blu Ray recorder, a single-rackspace player for the installation market. Building on the success of the install-standard DV-D01U, the 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% 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 analog 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.

TASCAM channels the years of experience gained with the DV-D01U to create the ultimate source playback for education, house of worship, boardroom, and other high-stress installs. For demanding installations that require the most reliable video playback player available, there’s no substitute for the TASCAM BD-01U.
