Onkyo announces the TX-NR787-- a 9.2-channel AV receiver able to deliver 9.2-channel audio together with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive audio and THX Select certification.
The TX-NR787 handles multiple speaker configurations, including 5.2.4 and 7.2.2 layouts for Dolby Atmos and DTS:X immersive audio, and 5.2- and 7.2-channel surround in the the primary zone plus powered stereo speakers in up to to two additional zones. It is rated at 9 x 100W (8 ohms, 20Hz-20kHz, 0.08% THD, two channels driven).
The AVR offers pass-through support for HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma), HDR10 and Dolby Vision formats, as well as BT.2020 colour space, 4:4:4 colour sub-sampling, 24-bit video, 4K/60p video and HDCP 2.2 via x6 rear HDMI inputs. A front HDMI input allows temporary device connections, and a sub HDMI output handles projectors.
Financial details of the deal are not available, but TechCrunch claims both Samsung and Google's Nest "sniffed around" for the company.
The G7 is a 6.1-inch handset with a notch on top of the LCD 3120 x 1440 resolution display housing the front-facing 8MP camera. Inside are a Snapdragon 845 processor, 4/6GB RAM, 64/128GB storage and a 3000mAh battery. The body is covered in Gorilla Glass 5, is IP68-rated for dust and water resistance and meets the requirements of the MIL-STD 810G US military tests for performance in "harsh environments."
The Earset earphones keep the same basic design seen in the very first 2004 iteration, with a similar arm, piston and ear hook arrangement. B&O says the design is built with comfort in mind, with the earphone sitting outside the inner ear to allow for a better long-wear experience as well as ambient noise to come through. Multiple adjustable joints ensure the headphones fit the individual ear.
The PRO Endurance offers read speed reaching 100 MB/s and 30 MB/s write speed, allowing it to provide FHD recording and 4K video support. Designed for use in surveillance and security cameras, body cameras and dash cams, the card promises 25x endurance than previous speed-focused cards offered by Samsung, and has a limited warranty of up to 5 years. Further security comes through Samsung 4-Proof protection against water, temperature, magnets and x-rays.
