Re: Panasonic Announces Pricing for DMP-BD50


The slow trickle of specific info about this player continues. With the caveat that I don't think the card you buy has to be 1G (but likely the larger the better), you are correct, Robert:

Unfortunately, the DMP-BD50 lacks the minimum 1GB of onboard memory required for BD-Live. Instead, you have to bring-your-own SD Card for use in the player's SD Card slot. When I questioned Panasonic, company representatives could not yet offer a firm guideline as to its recommendation of what speed SD Cards you should use with the player.

Panasonic Shows Off BD-Live Blu-ray Player

In some messy examples of Japanese English, the manual (on page 16) gives some semblance of information about what role the SD card will play. There's some confusing conflation of Profile 1.1/PIP and Profile 2.0/BD-Live functionality going on here though.

If the meeting with Panasonic reps happens at HME, I'll definitely be asking for some clarification on this.
