Det er den anden UHD Blu-ray-afspiller fra selskabet, som kan håndtere både Dolby Vision og HDR10+. Herudover lover Panasonic ”uovertruffen lyd” via analoge lydudgange.

UHD Blu-ray til audiofile
Ud over de andre nye UHD Blu-ray-afspillere, har Panasonic i dag præsenteret en flagskibsmodel, som skal sælges under modelnavnet DP-UB9000.

Ligesom den lavere rangerede UB820, vil UB9000 kunne håndtere både HDR10+ og Dolby Vision (efter en firmwareopdatering). Det er de to premium HDR-formater, som indgår under Blu-ray-standarden og som begge tager såkaldte dynamiske metadata i brug for at løfte billedkvaliteten, særligt i de lyse og mørke områder.

Hollywood har udgivet ca. 30 film i Dolby Vision på UHD Blu-ray, men ingen i HDR10+. 20th Century Fox og Warner Bros har meldt film på vej i formatet.



UB9000 adskiller sig fra UB820 ved at levere ”uovertruffen lyd”, siger hovedpersonen. Den er skabt med henblik på at levere surroundlyd via analoge udgange og henvender sig til det audiofile segment af markedet.

- “In addition to the high picture quality of its HCX Processor, the reference-class UB9000 offers extremely high sound quality thanks to its analogue audio circuits, including a dedicated audio power supply, a high-performance D/A converter, and XLR balanced output. Housed in a newly-developed vibration-reducing chassis with high rigidity and lower position for the centre of gravity, the UB9000 produces excellent sound quality,” siger Panasonic. “This exciting new model raises the bar for AV enthusiasts with the highest-ever picture and sound quality in the history of Panasonic Blu-ray Disc Players.”

UB9000 er THX-certificeret og har to HDMI-udgange; en til video og en til lyd. Herudover tilbyder den apps til streaming i 4K-kvalitet.

Panasonics program for 2018 består af fem UHD Blu-ray-afspillere fra prisvenlig til flagskib. To afspillere leverer Dolby Vision, tre afspillere leverer HDR10+ og fire afspillere kan styres vha. Google Assistant og Amazon Alexa, hvilket gør det muligt at styre videoafspilning via stemmekommandoer.

Panasonic siger, at UB9000 lanceres i Europa. Vi kender endnu ikke prisen.

Dedicated Audio Power Supply
AC/DC Conversion Circuit
The use of a positive/negative, isolated power conversion circuit for audio provides a high dynamic range, and reduces the voltage fluctuations and noise caused by digital circuits. In addition to this, high-quality audio grade electrolytic capacitors and a newly developed OFC (Oxygen Free Copper) switching transformer decreases the impedance of power.

10-Line Isolated DC Regulator Circuit
The digital and analogue power supplies for the D/A converter are isolated. The analogue channel is further separated into 2 channels  and 7.1 channels , and for the 2-channel output, the reference voltage of the left and right channels is isolated, making a 10-line regulator circuit and reducing mutual effects to improve distortion. Moreover, high-quality audio grade electrolytic capacitors are used in the analogue channel to minimise noise. 
Analogue Audio Circuit
High-Performance D/A Converter
A high-performance D/A converter with input compatibility, high S/N, and high dynamic range is provided for each of the 2 channel and 7.1 channel circuits.

Special Circuit Board for Analogue Output
The analogue circuits for 2 channel and 7.1 channel output are mounted onto special glass-epoxy circuit boards. Together with the use of quality components, such as low-noise operational amplifiers and audio grade electrolytic capacitors, a totally balanced signal transmission is achieved by using differential circuits all the way from the D/A converter output to the XLR output terminal.

2 Channel (RCA/ XLR) and 7.1 Channel Output Terminals
The 2 channel and 7.1 channel output terminals are also separated. Moreover, the 2 channel output is equipped with a balanced XLR output terminal in addition to the RCA terminal.
