The HHB UDP-89 is designed to provide the system integrator with a highly robust, flexible and professionally specified alternative to the consumer players that have previously been pressed into service.
The UDP-89 is a universal DVD/CD player that delivers broadcast-quality video and audio playback and has a host of professional interfacing features that make it ideal for use in a wide variety of mobile and fixed installations.
By making the UDP-89 compatible with a huge array of disc and file formats, HHB has effectively removed the limitations imposed by conventional devices to produce a truly universal player. CD, CD-R, CD-RW, CD-Video, SACD, DVD-Video, DVD-Audio, DVD-R, DVD+R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW are all supported, and mp3 audio and MPEG4 .avi video files can also be played.
The UDP-89 delivers the ultimate in DVD video quality via its HDCP-compliant HDMI output, six 14-bit 165MHz video DACs providing progressive scan 480p/576p, plus upscaling to 720p and 1080i (available from both HDMI and component outputs). Unlike the majority of DVD players in which audio is so often the poor partner, the UDP-89 features Wolfson 24-bit/192kHz audio DACs and high-end analog circuitry for audiophile performance. And the UDP-89 is the only DVD player available with stereo and 5.1 balanced audio outputs to get the very best from high-resolution SACD and DVD-Audio formats.
Definitely not based on a consumer device, the UDP-89 is designed and built from the ground up for demanding professional use. The rugged, rack-mounting chassis houses a pro-grade disc drive comprising of a durable disc loader with a smooth, positive action, and a high-performance laser assembly, extensively tested for dependable, long-term use.
A complete set of professional audio and video outputs (see above) and a full complement of professional features equip the UDP-89 for use in almost any audio or video disc playing application. The A-B repeat mode makes the UDP-89 ideal for use in fixed installations, while professional cueing functions and RS232 control are essential features that make it ideal as the heart of an interactive display.
The inclusion of a multichannel preamplifier makes it possible to connect the UDP-89 directly to an active 5.1 speaker system, with versatility and convenience enhanced yet further by the inclusion of a volume control which can also be controlled remotely via RS232 or the supplied infra-red remote control.
And wherever space is at a premium, users will appreciate that the UDP-89 can be securely mounted in just 1U of rack space.
