The HHB UDP-89 compact universal DVD/CD player is now shipping.
Housed in a compact 1U rack-mounting chassis, 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.
Production models feature the addition of a new “clean screen” that enhances the UDP-89’s suitability for use in A/V and broadcast applications, along with a raft of other developments.
The clean screen insures that the video output remains free of the brand logos that render consumer DVD players unsuitable for professional use.
Further, menu commands and transport status appear only in the front panel display, leaving the screen a clean plain gray when no content is being played.
The UDP-89 delivers high-quality digital video via its HDMI output, along with high-quality analog picture quality. Balanced surround sound outputs maximize the impact of movie soundtracks, as well as SACD and DVD-Audio formats.
The UDP-89 also offers 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.
“We¹re delighted that the UDP-89 has now come to market, and confident that we have spent our time well in creating a universal DVD/CD player that A/V professionals can depend upon,” says HHB Managing Director Ian Jones.
The HHB UDP-89 Professional Universal DVD/CD Player is distributed in the USA by Sennheiser. Canadian distribution is handled by HHB Canada.
