Harman Kardon has announced it will release its first Blu-ray player, dubbed the BDP-10, and will be BD-Live capable.
The BDP-10 will also have "advanced audio codec support and will play back 1080/24p videos without pulldown conversion." A USB slot allows for JPEG and DivX playback from flash drives.
Harman Kardon is known mainly for its home theater A/V products but has been expanding of late. It remains unknown what kind of Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD support the player will have but it will support bitstream versions of the audio formats.
A view of the player shows that it has HDMI 1.3a connectors, as well as component and RCA video outputs, an Ethernet jack, coaxial and optical audio outputs and analog audio output.
The player has a May release date for Europe with a price tag of euro 700. It is unknown when the North American release date is.
