The T 587 brings NAD’s penchant for performance to the exciting new Blu-ray Disc format. NAD is one of a handful of brands to bring a Profile 2.0
Blu-ray Disc Player to market at this time. Brimming with the latest features like BD Live Network connectivity, the T 587 offers, for the first time,
a true High Definition source for digital Home Theatre systems.

About Blu-ray
Blu-ray is the latest version of the popular 5” optical
disc format that began with the CD. Blu-ray was made
possible by the development of a practical violet laser
whose light wavelength is shorter than the red lasers
used by CD and DVD players. This allows for a more
focused spot that can read smaller and more densely
packed pits that generate the “digital 1s and 0s” that
represent the picture and sound that is then decoded
by the player for viewing.
Blu-ray Disc has over 5 times the data capacity of
DVD. HD programs are protected by multiple layers
of DRM (Digital Rights Management or ‘Copy
Protection’) and can only be transmitted from Player
to TV Display by the encrypted HDMI interface.
High Definition playback requires that the entire
signal path be capable of digital bandwidth of 150
Megahertz. This means you’ll need the very latest
TV and AV Receiver as well as Category 2 HDMI
cables. Be sure the entire system supports “1080p”.
Get it all right and the result is stunning... especially
on screen sizes 50” and larger!
Video Performance
With Blu-ray’s native resolution of 1080p and pure digital transmission via
HDMI the picture quality is nothing short of stunning. Even standard definition
DVD’s get a boost from NAD’s upscaling engine with resolution to 1080p. The
T 587 also supports 1080p at 24 frames per second for the most fluid motion from
film based material (this must be supported by the TV display) avoiding the “3:2
Pull Down” motion artifacts common on DVD Players.
Audio Performance
Most Blu-ray Discs offer a true high definition audio 7.1 Linear PCM soundtrack
with 24 bit resolution, and theT 587 supports this format via HDMI. At last we have
studio master quality in a home format! Also supported are the new HD formats
from Dolby and DTS that offer ‘lossless’ compression. These can be decoded in
the T 587 and sent as LPCM via HDMI, or can be forwarded in compressed form
to another component that supports decoding. Of course the legacy formats of
Dolby Digital and DTS are also supported and sent as bitstreams via HDMI, Coax or
Optical connections. Dolby Digital Plus is a new and backwardly compatible Dolby
format that increases the bit rate considerably for improved fidelity and also offers
support for up to 10.2 channels.
There is also support for Audio CD’s and CD-R’s with MP3 or WMA decoding.
There is even a front panel USB port to allow playback of music files stored on a
memory stick or portable MP3 Player.
Exciting new features
BD Java and BD Live, when supported by the source material, offer a new level
of interactivity with your media. BD Live will connect over a broadband network
to the studio that produced the movie you are watching and will offer additional
material and alternate takes in real time to your Home Theatre.
Details that matter
The T 587 has a very fast loading time for Blu-ray Discs, typically just a few
seconds. Many BD players take over a minute before you can get picture,
sound and navigation. This may not sound like much, but it seems an
eternity if you are waiting to start watching your favourite movie. Other
nice touches not commonly found include an IR Input for integration with
advanced control and automation systems. Specially developed silicon rubber
feet isolate vibrations from the player and the environment for the best
possible performance.
With onboard decoding for the newest lossless audio codecs from Dolby and DTS
the T 587 will provide a complete HD audio and video solution to thousands of
NAD T 175,T 785 and T 775 AV Receiver owners.This cost effective upgrade, when
combined with the current generation of 1080p displays creates a state-of-the-art
Home Theatre.
