/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Panasonic (NYSE:PC), a major developer
and contributor to the success of the Blu-ray format, introduced
the industry's only second generation portable Blu-ray Disc players
at the 2010 Consumer Electronics Show. Continuing Panasonic's
tradition of presenting innovative entertainment products, the
DMP-B500 and DMP-B100 are designed to provide the ultimate high
definition experience for those traveling, as well as serving as an
additional stand alone Blu-ray Disc player for use with multiple
TVs, either in the home, a second vacation home or a hotel room.
Both the DMP-B500 and DMP-B100 feature much of the same
state-of-the-art technology found in Panasonic's stand alone
Blu-ray Disc players, including the PHL Reference Chroma Processor
Plus technology, a proprietary technology developed in
collaboration with Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, which assures
the highest level picture quality. The PHL Reference Chroma
Processor Plus is a high quality image-processing technology that
precisely processes each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc video signal in
the vertical direction. It reproduces color data with twice the
accuracy of conventional systems, resulting in faithful and sharp
colors. The B500 features an increased High Resolution WSVGA screen
size to 10.1-inches, an expanded VIERA CAST internet functionality
with Wi-Fi wireless LAN connection, an SD Memory card Slot that can
playback digital still JPEG images and High Definition video
(AVCHD), a USB port, Dolby® Digital and DTS(TM) HD and VIERA
Link(TM), a technology that utilizes HDMI to enable control all
VIERA Link combatable products with one remote. The B100 features
an 8.9-inch High Resolution WSVGA screen, an SD Memory Card Slot
for playback of JPEG images, an adjustable position screen, Dolby
Digital and DTS HD. Both portable Blu-ray Disc players will be
available in the Spring. "Last year Panasonic was proud to
introduce the unique and innovative, DMP-B15, the world's first
portable Blu-ray player and this year Panasonic cements its
industry leadership position as a pioneer in the development of
audio/video products," said Richard Simone, Director, Entertainment
Group, Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company. "This continues our
commitment to provide the consumer with state-of-the-art technology
that is created to enhance ones' entertainment experience. With
more people purchasing Blu-ray discs, there is a growing market for
this product, a Blu-ray player that allows the consumer to view
those Blu-ray titles while traveling. Plus, there is the added
bonus that the B500 also provides a second player for use with any
HDTV to provide true 1080p quality." For 2010 Panasonic's VIERA
CAST's content, found on the DMP-B500, has been expanded to include
Netflix(TM), Pandora, Twitter and Fox Sports. Viera CAST continues
to offer access to Amazon Video on Demand(TM), YouTube(TM),
Picasa(TM) Web Albums, Bloomberg and a weather channel. VIERA CAST
is accessed via an on-board Ethernet connection or Wi-Fi and
therefore does not require any external set top boxes. The service
is free, though there is a charge for movies streamed from Amazon
Video on Demand and Netflix. Furthermore, as additional sites are
added to the 2010 VIERA CAST service, they are added automatically.
In addition the design of the B500 and B100 has been refined. With
a mono-arm design, the display angle of the B100 can be freely
adjusted, while the photo stand-like design of the B500 allows for
comfortable positions. About Panasonic Consumer Electronics Company
