I have the latest firmware update. I see that it says 1080p on my recordings, but when I play them back from the device, they play in 1080I. Does this device output 1080P?

no 1080i you better off with Elgato capture card you can go by a near bestbuy store i had to send it back to Avermedia you can even capture old console with this capture card it want be in Hd
2002295
From everything I've seen, it does. I honestly would not bother using the device's playback function for accuracy.
2002296
No. You have to play back on your computer for best quality. Btw All recordings are in .avi format. I don't think it can cap. in 1080p since it's composite. At best it might be "upscaled".

No, sadly it does not. The highest it will go is 1080i. I struggled a little with this myself, but it wasn't a big deal for me having to downgrade quality slightly. The real problem for me was it's output format (mp4) because to edit mp4, I had to lose serious quality in the video and the audio was always unsynced. Not a very good product imo.

I could not get it to capture 1080i, let alone play back. Don't buy this product. I returned mine.

I purchased this on February 20, 2014. And the pictures were different, and the unit I received looked like the pictures that used to be on this listing. The unit pictured now, looks nothing like my unit purchased in Feb, 2014. It's possible either someone hijacked this listing, or that this is a updated unit. Therefore, my information may not be of much help. However, on the unit that I have, you can NOT view the recordings via smartphone. Live feeds are all that is available via smartphone. However, while shopping for another unit for my father, I noticed the following unit specifically states that it supports playback via smartphone (at least on the 16 channel model, not sure about the rest): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DP88HWC/ Hope this helps!

There are no further firmware updates for this model. I ran into a similar problem, although my unit wouldn't load a Blu-Ray at all, much less play it. After much frustration looking for a non-existent solution, I got a nice Panasonic Blu-Ray player - that does Internet TV *much* better, I might add - and now can enjoy my Blu-Rays while still using the rest of the Samsung unit's "home theatre" functions, which pretty much boil down to the sound system at this point. The short answer is yes, it's crap.

Matt, thanks for posting this. I had the same question and couldn't find an answer. Is it possible that the latency the reviewer perceived is due to upconverting the signal to 1080i, and you are simply converting the analogue to digital signal without changing the resolution? I'm not clear on whether converting implies *up*converting, couldn't really find an answer... but based on your feedback I think I'll give this a shot.

I'm not sure. I did not have mine long enough to try that. If you try it & it does could you tell me? The recorders that I've seen other folks use will record it from a DVR, but it's not 720 or 1080. It's only 480( standard def).

Regularly it records in 30 fps when resolution is set to 1080p. If you set it to 720p the frame rate will go up to 60fps. Try that. Unless there is something wrong with your unit.

It has to be a compatible capture device. The key question is what is considered compatible? That I do not know as they refuse to release a compatibility list :( I have ran against the same issue with 1/2 my devices.

Yes. The latest Firmware FW1.20EU (shipping with it) gets you 14x DL recording with MEI__RB1 media. 5x, 3x and 2x DVD-RAM and even BDXL writing is actually supported

Yes it is firmware upgradeable but if you do that you will cause the player not to play all the blu-ray regions. Was told not to do a firmware upgrade on mine or lose playing all the regions on the blu-rays.

I contacted Sony customer support, here is the question and response: Model : bdp-s570 Question: When will you offer firmware that will allow more video file formats mkv, m4v, mp4, m2ts, etc... to be streamed over the network connection from a DLNA media server? At this point it plays very few file types. one of the main reasons I purchased this product was to stream video over my network. Thank You Response: Thank you for contacting Sony Support. I'm sorry, but there is no update available to support the additional file formats via DLNA. I've provided a link with the information on the file types that are supported when using the DLNA feature: http://www.kb.sony.com/selfservice/documentLink.do?externalId=C1017936 Thank you for your time.

The latest firmware is still 1.03, I believe. The one I got from Amazon back in June was the latest version 1.03.

Few questions1080 60p is not part of the AVCHD standard, it only goes as high as 1080 60iWas the AVCHD standard modified to now accept 1080 60p?Or is Sony using a proprietary format?I exclusively use the PS3 to playback my videos that I store on a USB external drive.Will the 1080 60p footage from this camera playback on a PS3?The previous model CX550 could not capture pictures while shooting video at the highest bit rate, is this still the case?Thanks for your input.

I haven't figured that out yet. My problem is I haven't read the instructions. I like things that are fairly simple, turn on play or record. I will be taking the time on my time off this week to figure it out. Sorry I do not have an answer for you.V/RJackie

Yes...1080p simply means that this Blu-Ray player can output up to 1080p...all other HD resolutions (780p/1080i/1080p) can be output by this machine.

DLP: Like others, my BD390 quit playing many of the newer bluray discs a couple weeks ago. Firmware is current. After first discussion with LG support, I took the unit to an authorized electronic repair. Am told the unit is working properly but CANNOT be updated further to play the newer blurays coming out, despite firmware updates. Spoke again TODAY with LG support and they confirmed this. Was told there was NO upgrade available for the unit and that NO discount would be given on purchasing a newer LG unit! They were amazingly indifferent and told me I was "out of luck".......would either have to accept the fact this unit was ALREADY outdated for current and upcoming blurays, or buy a newer unit. I WILL NOT BE BUYING FUTURE LG PRODUCTS. DLP

Well, with my Sony Blu-ray, it appeared to send 480i resolution which I think might be due to the HDCP limitations. I haven't tried it with Apple TV or any other media streaming device. I did try to connect my Android TV stick, without any success. Only managed to get black screen, nothing else. Hope to try it with Chromecast soon.
