Orb BR - Technical Specifications

Blu Ray Player requirements

Orb BR requires a connected Blu-Ray player with support for BD Live 2.0. Orb has certified the following models for use with Orb BR:

If you don't see your model, please check your manufacturer's documentation to ensure that BD Live 2.0 is supported. We are working on constantly expanding our list of supported players. Send us an email if you don't see your player/model to help prioritize our efforts. We may even ask you to join our beta testing.

Orb BR requires 1GB of local memory on your Blu-Ray player to buffer video content. With the exception of Sony Playstation 3, a separate memory module is needed (either a USB drive or SD card, depending on your manufacturer). While some players come with local memory installed, our tests have found that this memory is not fast enough to support high quality video. The appropriate memory module will be added to your cart after you select your specific model.

OSX 10.5.1 or later

2.56 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster
