Sony Mastered in 4K (1080p) Blu-ray Titles
To compliment the release of their 4K TVs, Sony will also be releasing several Mastered in 4K Blu-ray titles. These 1080p resolution Blu-ray discs are optimized for 4K upscaling on Sony 4K TVs. The discs are backward compatible with todays HDTVs and Blu-ray players, including the PlayStation 3.
As a bonus, Sony will include three Mastered in 4K titles with the purchase of either of their 4K TVs: Angels and Demons, Spider-Man, and Ghostbusters.
Mastered in 4K titles currently available for pre-order include Angels and Demons, The Other Guys, Taxi Driver, The Amazing Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Ghostbusters, Glory, Battle: Los Angeles, and Karate Kid (2010). Sony plans to release several more titles throughout the year.
While not exactly true 4K, they are the closest thing to true 4K until Sony releases their 4K media player this summer.
Sony 4K Media Player
Sony also announced its 4K Media Player, the FMP-X1 for $699 available this summer. The player will come pre-loaded with 10 feature films and video shorts in true 4K format (which differs from Sonys 1080p Mastered in 4K Blu-ray discs). These true 4K titles include Bad Teacher, Battle: Los Angeles, The Bridge on the River Kwai, The Karate Kid (2010), Salt, Taxi Driver, Thats My Boy, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Other Guys and Total Recall (2012).
In the fall, users of the same 4K Media Player will be able to access a fee-based 4K distribution service.
Lucas added, As for content, these new sets enhance all of the video people are watching today, and this summer our 4K media player, followed in fall by the video distribution service will demonstrate how Sony continues to lead in bringing the 4K entertainment experience to viewers.
