This next-generation Panasonic Blu-Ray player, unveiled at CES 2015, is capable of providing full 4K resolution playback at an impressive frame rate of 60 fps. It is intended to support next-generation video technologies that are expected to be incorporated into upcoming Ultra HD Blu-Ray standards.
This player can provide 100 Megabytes per second high-bit rate playback at a crystal-clear 3,840 x 2,160 resolution.
