Cebit 2007: Blu-ray player, Small SD camera, Full HD TV
On
Panasonic's boot, besides the HD Cameras, we’ve seen a little toy named SDR-S10 which uses SDHC Memory
Card for storage. This small SD Camcorder is only 11 cm long and 3 cm thick,
which is enough to slide in to your pocket.
It features fold out 2.7
inch LCD and thanks to SD/SDHC Memory Card data can be read instantly unlike
the hard drives and DVD disks. Because of that Panasonic developed a Quick Start
function that allows the SDR-S10 to begin recording just 1.7 seconds after the
power is switched on.
The SDR/S10 is embedded in
shock resistant housing and it can handle a few drops of water making it
suitable for outdoor activities. Zoom is 10x optical and comes with 2GB SD
Memory card which is enough for 50 minutes of video in MPEG 2 format and SP
mode.
The next thing we saw was
about 50 times bigger than 2.7 inch LCD screen on SDR/S10 Camcorder. We are
talking about 103 inch Full HD 1080p HD plasma TV connected via HDMI cable with
the X-Box.
On almost all of new
HDTV TV's they have one HDMI port or SD card reader on front side for easier
connecting of peripheral devices
Panasonic presented new
version of Blu-ray DMP-BD10 disc player named DMP/BD10A. It supports today's
latest 7.1-channel surround sound formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD
High-Resolution Audio. Dolby TrueHD uses a lossless audio codec compression to
deliver up to 7.1-channel surround sound with (theoretically) studio-master
sound quality.
They've shown the difference
between Blu-Ray MPEG2 with increased rate of 18 MBit/s VS. standard definition
MPEG2 with 5.2MBit/s.
Panasonic announced the
launch of its VIERA series of Full-HD plasma TVs for 2007. The new 42” and 50”
line-up are refined Full-HD models with high-quality reproduction of
fast-moving images and contrast of 10.000:1
We've seen a heavy armoured
laptop Thoughbook CF-30 with Intel Core Duo processor 1.66GHz and integrated
Intel graphics controller 945GM which should be usable in hostile environment. It
is water, vibration and kick resistant.
For demanding business
users there is ultra portable Business PC-s CF-W5 that weights 1.24 kg, and it
comes with 12.1 inch display and battery life up to 11
hours.CF-T5 is in the same class but it has a touch screen with battery
life up to 14 hours, but it comes without DVD or CD. Because
of its touch screen it is also 300 grams heavier than CF-W55.
