01 September 2007 – Taking advantage of the IFA electronics expo in Berlin, Philips has has announced a new Blu-Ray player, the BDP-7100. A successor to the first-generation BDP-9000, the 7100 will support both 1080p/24 and 1080p/60 through HDMI, and will also be capable of internally decoding high-end audio codecs, including DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD.
