Sony's BR Disc won't downrez to component

Posted by Goro on 03/14/06 16:12

So Sony's realizing that MANY HDTVs out there have component only (or
DVI w/o HDCP). Sending proper HD thru component is a very wise
decision. Surprsing. but wise.

Here's one less worry for those of us looking forward to Blu-ray:
Sony's Don Eklund, Senior Vice President for Advanced Technologies,
said that all of Sony's Blu-ray disks will be free of that digital
flag that tells the player to down-rez the HD signal if there's no
HDMI cable present. Called the "image constraint token," it
threatens to lower the resolution to standard-definition quality if
users try to output video in component format.

This means that HDTVs that aren't equipped with the HDCP copy
protection will still be able to play the new discs. Eklund said that
Sony was more concerned about piracy of the digital HDTV signal rather
than analog signals coming through component cables. Sounds like the
Sony we know and love is getting itself a clue. Now let's see if the
HD DVD disk peddlers will follow suit.
