EISA | 2018-2019 High-End UHD Blu-ray Player Award

The reference-class player has been named ‘2018 High-End UHD Blu-ray Player’ by the European Imaging Sound Association (EISA) in recognition of Panasonic’s commitment to performance and design. The EISA award is one of the most prestigious consumer recommendations that a product can achieve.

The DP-UB9000 UHD Blu-ray player impressed the EISA jury, praising it as ‘a gloriously engineered high-end machine’. With its ‘Custom processing, high-spec components and advanced user adjustments…every last drop of performance detail is squeezed from movies and
music alike…’.

The EISA jury also highlighted one of UB9000’s unique HDR processing technologies, the HDR Optimiser, explaining that it ‘improves the delivery of UHD HDR10 content’. This technology conducts tone-mapping in the player to ensure a stable HDR picture quality and to show the finest detail, regardless of the TV model used. At the same time the jury praised the player’s extremely high sound quality thanks to the 768kHz/32-bit DAC which ‘serves up a premium stereo audio experience’.

The DP-UB9000’s ‘sumptuous design and build’ was also recognised by the EISA jury. They noted its ‘Double-layer base and top plates, an aluminium chassis and a new, rigid drive mechanism’ making the stylish and eye-catching player ‘ready for action’.
