Pioneer Blu-Ray Player Adopts Marvell Video Processing

Marvell announced that the Marvell 88DE2710 digital video format converter with Qdeo video processing is one of the key components of the Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD. This second generation Blu-ray player from Pioneer offers a high-quality 1080p image, vivid true-to-life pictures, and a completely immersive home-theater experience.

At the core of the Marvell 88DE2710, Qdeo delivers rich, high-definition video quality through a suite of advanced QuietVideo technologies, providing quiet and natural video, free of noise and artifacts. Per-pixel noise and compression artifact reduction removes noise inherent in digital video. Per-pixel motion-adaptive 3D de-interlacing removes jaggies and eliminates feathering.

"The Blu-ray disc player by Pioneer gives consumers an immersive viewing experience for their Blu-ray and DVD content, in addition to the internet-based content made possible by the BD-Live feature," said Gaurav Shah, director of marketing for the Digital Entertainment Business Unit, Communications and Consumer Business Group at Marvell.

This Pioneer Elite Blu-ray disc player is the second generation player by Pioneer, and the first generation product to use the Marvell 88DE2710 with Qdeo processing. The Pioneer Elite BDP-09FD is Pioneer’s first BD profile 2.0 player, with integrated Ethernet for full BD-Live playback capabilities. The Pioneer Elite Blu-ray disc player will be available in the near future.
