[NAMM] UDP-89 Universal DVD/CD Player

The 'clean screen’ is designed to ensure that the video output remains free of the brand logos that render consumer DVD players unsuitable for professional use. Furthermore, menu commands and transport status appear only in the front panel display, leaving the screen a 'clean’ plain grey when no content is being played.

Housed in compact 1U rack-mounting chassis and engineered for dependable, long-term use, the UDP-89 plays CD, Video-CD, SACD, DVD-Video, and DVD-Audio discs, and features a built-in preamp with volume control for direct connection to active 5.1 speaker systems, Dolby™ Digital and DTS decoding, MPEG audio decoding, professional cueing, A-B repeat function and RS232 and parallel control interfaces.

Alongside the 'clean screen’ the production model UDP-89 also adds an uprated power supply giving enhanced audio and video performance, more flexible cue to marker features, and an extension of the auto-pause facility to encompass SACD and DVD.
