Pioneer lowers prices on Elite A/V receivers again, the well-heeled respond with derision
Posted on June 24, 2010 | No Comments
Pioneer is introducing a new batch of Elite A/V receivers aimed at making the line more affordable (if less, well, elite). The VSX-30 and VSX-31 feature iPhone and iPod control via Pioneer's iControl AV app, HDMI 1.4a with 3D support, THX Select2 Plus audio, and an Ethernet port for accessing Sirius XM, Rhapsody, and files off of your home network. If that weren't enough, they've even thrown in an composite video cable for your iPod / iPhone so you can enjoy your portable audio and video on the big screen. The VSX-30 will run you $550, while the VSX-31 (with a second A/V zone) is going for a cool $650. It's not exactly a Swarovski-bejewled HTPC, but we guess it'll do in a pinch.Pioneer lowers prices on Elite A/V receivers again, the well-heeled respond with derision originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 24 Jun 2010 16:32:00 EST.

WHDI roadmap includes 3D update this year, 4K, Wi-Fi & mobile tie-ins in 2011
Posted on June 11, 2010 | No CommentsDon't get too used to WHDI 1.0 (we know you've been stocking up on equipment in secret) the second version of the standard is planned and it adds a familiar list of features, including a very Panasonic 152-inch friendly 4,096x2,1060 resolution. Probably more relevant are plans for WHDI / Wi-Fi integration and same channel co-existence, and mobile device integration. Before WHDI 2.0 hits the streets in Q2 2011, a spec bump including the same 3D formats required by HDMI 1.4a will arriving by the end of the year. Will this be the one wireless HD standard to rule them all? We'll wait and see.

Onkyo has three new THX certified AV Receivers
Posted on June 5, 2010 | No CommentsGreat HD isn't perfect without great sound so you'll be excited to hear that Onkyo has three new THX certified AV Receivers. Not to take anything away from the first Onkyo 3D ready receivers that started shipping just a few months ago, this new trio is in another class. The TX-NR1008, TX-NR808, and TX-NR708 are all network connected with DLNA 1.5, feature HDMI 1.4a for all your 3D needs, and sport the legendary Faroudja DCDi Cinema scaler which will work wonders on even the lowest quality video. While all three have multi-room capabilities, only the TX-NR1008 has amps to power three rooms, while the 808 can do two and the 708 just includes line outputs for a second zone. The big boy is also the only one to include advanced ISF video calibration controls adjustments for every source. All three will start shipping in July with prices ranging from $899 for the TX-NR708 to $1399 for TX-NR1008. Full release with many more specs after the jump.

PopBox licenses RealD’s side by side frame compatible 3D format
Posted on May 21, 2010 | No CommentsTechnology patents are a funny thing and it can be difficult to understand that RealD owns the rights to encode 3D in the frame compatible side by side format as displayed above -- without license or consent -- but patents are a reality of the world and so Syabas has licensed RealD's 3D format for the upcoming PopBox which will support the 3D format at launch. No word on if the PopBox will support Blu-ray's Full HD 3D which is actually double the resolution of HD instead of trying to squeeze both perspectives into the same HD frame. At this point it doesn't appear that the PopBox will be HDMI 1.4a compliant so while it'll send the 3D signal to your 3DTV, you'll have to be the one to tell the TV it is receiving 3D in order to ensure the 3rd dimension is displayed. Full release after the jump.
