The UBP-X1100ES also boasts a range of connectivity options. It has separate video & audio HDMI inputs at the rear, along with analog audio 2-channel, optical audio and coaxial SPDIF audio outputs. It also has a USB port at the front, as well as one for Ethernet.

Sony also claims that the UBP-X1100ES supports IP Control over a CAT-5 cable or wirelessly. It also handles  RS232C two-way control, infra-red-in, a web browser interface and the cloud-based ihiji4 network management solution often necessary for custom installers to conduct remote maintenance.

These various options may allow the user or installer in question to connect the Sony UBP-X1100ES to any entertainment system. This new 4K Blu-ray player is on sale on platforms such as Amazon.com for an SRP of US$599.
