Panasonic DP-UB450 and DP-UB150 Ultra HD Blu-ray Players with HDR10+ and Dolby Vision

The Panasonic DP-UB450 and DP-UB150 Ultra HD Blu-ray players are the latest innovations introduced at CES 2019. Both models are able to play HDR discs in HDR10 and HDR10+ formats. Support for dynamic metadata is further enhanced on the UB450, which is also compatible with Dolby Vision.

Therefore, Panasonic has three “universal” players (UB450, UB820, and UB9000) for HDR. The Japanese brand is also the only one to offer the same broad support also on TV, specifically on GZ2000 4K OLED TV.

New Ultra HD Blu-ray players can play MP3, AAC, WMA audio files and high-resolution tracks such as DSD (2.8 / 5.6 / 11.2 MHz), ALAC, FLAC, WAV, and AIFF. The multimedia capabilities also include the ability to view movies in Ultra HD in the formats MKV / MP4 (H.264 / HEVC), TS (MPEG-2 / H.264 / HEVC), MPEG-2 / AVCHD / AVCHD 3D and images in JPEG / MPO. There are no streaming services.

Available connections include dual HDMI output to separate audio/video stream and audio-only stream (UB450 only), a coaxial digital output (UB450 only) and a front USB 2.0 port. Availability is scheduled for the month of March.
