About Blu-ray Blu-ray is the latest version of the popular 5 optical disc format that began with the CD. Blu-ray was made possible by the development of a practical violet laser whose light wavelength is shorter than the red lasers used by CD and DVD players. This allows for a more focused spot that can read smaller and more densely packed pits that generate the digital 1s and 0s that represent the picture and sound that is then decoded by the player for viewing. Blu-ray Disc has over 5 times the data capacity of DVD. HD programs are protected by multiple layers of DRM (Digital Rights Management or Copy Protection) and can only be transmitted from Player to TV Display by the encrypted HDMI interface. High Definition playback requires that the entire signal path be capable of digital bandwidth of 150 Megahertz. This means youll need the very latest TV and AV Receiver as well as Category 2 HDMI cables. Be sure the entire system supports 1080p. Get it all right and the result is stunning. especially on screen sizes 50 and larger!

Video Performance With Blu-rays native resolution of 1080p and pure digital transmission via HDMI the picture quality is nothing short of stunning. Even standard definition DVDs get a boost from NADs upscaling engine with resolution to 1080p. The T 587 also supports 1080p at 24 frames per second for the most fluid motion from film based material (this must be supported by the TV display) avoiding the 3:2 Pull Down motion artifacts common on DVD Players. Audio Performance Most Blu-ray Discs offer a true high definition audio 7.1 Linear PCM soundtrack with 24 bit resolution, and the T 587 supports this format via HDMI. At last we have studio master quality in a home format! Also supported are the new HD formats from Dolby and DTS that offer lossless compression. These can be decoded in the T 587 and sent as LPCM via HDMI, or can be forwarded in compressed form to another component that supports decoding. Of course the legacy formats of Dolby Digital and DTS are also supported and sent as bitstreams via HDMI, Coax or Optical connections. Dolby Digital Plus is a new and backwardly compatible Dolby format that increases the bit rate considerably for improved fidelity and also offers support for up to 10.2 channels. There is also support for Audio CDs and CD-Rs with MP3 or WMA decoding. There is even a front panel USB port to allow playback of music files stored on a memory stick or portable MP3 Player. Exciting new features BD Java and BD Live, when supported by the source material, offer a new level of interactivity with your media. BD Live will connect over a broadband network to the studio that produced the movie you are watching and will offer additional material and alternate takes in real time to your Home Theatre. Details that matter The T 587 has a very fast loading time for Blu-ray Discs, typically just a few seconds. Many BD players take over a minute before you can get picture, sound and navigation. This may not sound like much, but it seems an eternity if you are waiting to start watching your favourite movie. Other nice touches not commonly found include an IR Input for integration with advanced control and automation systems. Specially developed silicon rubber feet isolate vibrations from the player and the environment for the best possible performance. With onboard decoding for the newest lossless audio codecs from Dolby and DTS the T 587 will provide a complete HD audio and video solution to thousands of NAD T 175, T 785 and T 775 AV Receiver owners. This cost effective upgrade, when combined with the current generation of 1080p displays creates a state-of-the-art Home Theatre.

NAD COMMENCES PRODUCTION of our State-of-the-Art Blu-ray Disc Player with BD Live for Internet Connectivity
Fast-Loading New T 587 Player Also Features BD Java, HDMI 1.3, Stunning 1080p Image Quality, and Advanced HD Audio Decoding
TORONTO, CANADA November 3rd, 2008 NAD Electronics, the highly regarded manufacturer of high-performance audio/video components, is commencing production of the T 587 Blu-ray Disc Player, a premium player brimming with the latest features and offering for the first time a true High Definition source for digital Home Theatre systems. The T 587 is an advanced, state-of-the art Profile 2.0 player that features BD Live and BD Java for a new level of interactivity with home entertainment media. BD Live enables Internet-connected users to access additional content, such as movie previews, alternate movie endings, and special features for Blu-ray viewers, from the studio that produced the movie being screened. BD Java is the interactive platform supporting advanced content for Blu-ray Discs. Of course, the T 587 does far more than play and interact with Blu-ray Discs. Its video and audio performance are both outstanding, and its versatility is suggested by its ability to play Blu-ray NAD's New T 587 Blu-ray Disc Player discs in BDROM, BD-R and BD-RE formats, conventional DVDs in NTSC and PAL, and several other popular disc formats, including DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW, CD-R/RW, and Audio CDs. The T 587 also loads discs very quickly, unlike many other Blu-ray players that take more than a minute to do so. Anyone who has ever pressed Play only to stare at a dark screen as the seconds ticked away will appreciate this feature. The T 587, like other Blu-ray players, employs a violet laser whose light wavelength is shorter than the red lasers DVD and CD players use. This lets the laser read a smaller spot thats more densely packed with the pits that generate the digital ones and zeros representing the picture and sound the player decodes. A Blu-ray Disc can have over five times the data capacity of a DVD, and can only be transmitted from the player to a TV display by the encrypted HDMI interface. High Definition
playback requires the entire signal path be capable of a digital bandwidth of 150 Megahertz, which means employing the latest TVs and A/V Receivers, Category 2 HDMI cables, and a system that supports 1080p resolution. Video Performance With Blu-rays native resolution of 1080p and pure digital transmission via HDMI, the T 587 delivers stunning picture quality, especially on screen sizes 50 inches and larger. Even standard definition DVDs benefit from NADs upscaling engine. The T 587 supports 1080p at 24 frames per second for the most fluid motion available from film-based material, avoiding motion artefacts from the 3:2 Pull Down effect common on conventional DVD players. For enhanced image quality, the T 587 also supports Deep Colour and xvYCC Extended Colour Space to provide an exceptionally wide colour gamut and further extend the colour range. Operating controls include fast forward and reverse, slow and step forward, search, repeat and random play, picture-in-picture, and a parental lock. Audio Performance The T 587 delivers studio master quality audio in a home entertainment format. Most Blu-ray Discs offer Dolby TrueHD, a high-definition, 7.1 linear pulse code modulation (LPCM) soundtrack with 24-bit resolution. This is a format the T 587 supports via HDMI. The T 587 also supports the new HD formats from Dolby and DTS that offer lossless compression. They can be decoded in the T 587 and sent as LPCM via HDMI, or forwarded compressed to another component that supports decoding. The T 587 also supports Audio CDs and CD-Rs with MP3 or WMA decoding, Dolby Digital Plus, and the legacy formats of Dolby Digital and DTS, which it transmits as bitstreams via HDMI, coax or optical connections. Dolby Digital Plus is a new backward-compatible Dolby format that significantly increases the bit rate for improved fidelity, and support up to 10.2 channels. Specially developed silicon rubber feet isolate vibrations from the player and the environment for the best possible performance. The T 587s ability to decode the newest lossless audio codecs from Dolby and DTS also serves as a cost-effective upgrade to the thousands of consumers who already own NAD T 175, T 785 and T 775 AV Receivers by providing a complete HD audio and video solution. When combined with the current generation of 1080p displays, the T 587 makes a state-of-the-art Home Theatre more accessible and practical than ever before. The T 587s connection package is fully equipped for todays video and audio needs. It includes HDMI 1.3, Ethernet, composite, component, coaxial, left and right audio, and optical outputs on the rear panel. An external IR Input allows easy integration with advanced control and automation systems, and a front-panel USB port lets owners play music and picture files stored on a memory stick or portable MP3 Player.
