CES 2009 Preview: ezGear’s BluCobra EZ3000 Blu-Ray player

ezGear, a company well-known for their high end audio and video electronics, plans to debut their BluCoba EZ3000 Blu-Ray player in hopes it gains popularity and recognition. The EZ3000 is the first product in the BluCobra series, so we can probably expect more, similar Blu-ray players later on. They claim that the EZ3000 and the BluCobra lineup as a whole contains features found in advanced models, but sell for a less expensive price than others.

To begin with, the Blu-Ray player comes with many video outputs including HDMI 1.3, component video, composite video, and S-video. It also supports SACD, Blu-Ray (obviously), and DVD all at 1080p and 24Hz outputs. In case your HDTV isn’t full HD, the EZ3000 also can output at 1080i, 720i, and 480i resolutions. For audio, it supports MPEG-2, Dolby TrueHD, Digital Dolby, and DTS-HD Master Audio.
