Samsung's upcoming Duo HD player to feature HQV?

Reuben Lee | Jan 08, 2008

A Samsung representative at the CES booth revealed that the company is planning to introduce another Duo HD (Blu-ray and HD-DVD compatible) player some time next autumn/winter. It will be called the BD-UP6500, making it possibly the first Duo HD player under the 6000 series. The Duo HD models announced so far--BD-UP5000 and BD-UP5500--belong to the 5000 series.

One of the key feature enhancements that can be found on the 6000 series players, according to the Samsung rep, is the inclusion of the HQV processor. HQV or Hollywood Quality Video is a high-definition video processor developed by semiconductor firm Silicon Optix to help improve video playback quality on an HD display. The BD-UP5000 and recently announced BD-UP5500 do not come with an onboard HQV processor.
