Tascam BD-MP1 MKII Professional Rack-Mount Blu-Ray & Multimedia Player
The Tascam BD-MP1 MKII is a Professional 1U Rack-Mount Blu-Ray and Multimedia Player with HDMI output, balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA stereo outputs, 7.1 surround sound outputs, Ethernet/RS-232C control and support for Blu-ray, DVD, CD, USB and SD card media.
The Tascam BD-MP1 MKII is a robust, single-rackspace multi-media video player built for the demands of professional permanent installation and live touring. Building on the success of the Tascam BD-01U and BD-MP1, the BD-MP1 MKII combines high-definition Blu-ray, DVD, CD and solid-state media playback with comprehensive professional audio outputs, network and serial control capability and a wide range of practical installation features — making it an ideal component of integrated AV and media systems across commercial AV, education, houses of worship, boardrooms, conference rooms and touring applications. Its single rackspace 1U form factor, dimmable front-panel display and lockable controls make it equally practical for permanent rack installations and front-of-house touring rigs.
Comprehensive Media & Format Support
The BD-MP1 MKII plays the widest possible range of physical and solid-state media — including BD25, BD50, BD-ROM, BD-R and BD-RE Blu-ray discs (including Blu-ray 3D), DVD-Video, DVD-VR, AVCHD, CD-DA, CD-R and CD-RW, as well as video, audio and picture files from USB flash drives and SD/SDHC/SDXC cards up to 512GB. Supported video file formats include ASF, MPG, AVI, MKV, MOV, MP4, TS, M2TS and more, with audio file support for WAV, MP3, WMA, AAC, FLAC and APE, and picture support for JPEG, GIF and PNG. NTSC/PAL conversion and BD-Live functionality are supported, and subtitle file formats (.sub, .ass, idx+sub) are also accommodated for international content playback.
Professional Audio Outputs
The BD-MP1 MKII is comprehensively specified for professional audio output. Balanced XLR stereo outputs deliver a nominal level of +4dBu for long cable runs in fixed installations, alongside unbalanced RCA stereo outputs at -10dBV for standard consumer and semi-professional connectivity. A full 7.1 surround sound output section provides eight RCA outputs (FL/FR/SL/SR/SBL/SBR/Centre/Subwoofer) for complete surround sound system integration, and a coaxial S/PDIF digital audio output handles Dolby and DTS encoded audio for connection to compatible AV processors and receivers. Up to 40dB of attenuation is available on both analogue and digital stereo outputs for flexible level matching within any system.
HDMI High-Definition Video Output
The HDMI output supports resolutions from 480i/576i through to full 1080p, with 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratio options and RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4 and YCbCr 4:2:2 signal formats. HDMI CEC support allows the connected display to be automatically switched on and off in the correct order — a valuable feature for automated installations where the display and player need to power up and down together without manual intervention.
Ideal for Education, Houses of Worship & Corporate AV
The BD-MP1 MKII is a popular choice across a wide range of professional installation markets. In educational environments — from schools and colleges through to universities and training facilities — it provides a reliable, controllable and versatile media player for lecture theatres, video suites and presentation rooms. In houses of worship it delivers dependable video and audio playback for services, events and productions. In corporate boardrooms and conference rooms the network and serial control capability enables seamless integration into room control systems, whilst the power-on play and resume functions ensure presentations start automatically and reliably every time.
Network, RS-232C & Remote Control
The BD-MP1 MKII supports control via Ethernet network (Telnet protocol via RJ45), RS-232C serial (D-sub 9-pin) and the included wireless remote control — providing comprehensive integration options for virtually any control system or automation platform. The front-panel lock function can disable panel controls, the disc tray or the IR remote independently, preventing accidental operation in public-facing installations. Additional practical features include power-on play, resume after power cycle, chapter/title/A-B repeat, instant 10-second replay and switchable on-screen information display.
