P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)
This
is
a processor which makes use of
an
exclusive Panasonic
algorithm. Vanous processing
IS
supported, Including a high-level
conversion of the
TV
scanning format from interlace
to
progressive
and a high-level conversion of standard resolution (480i or 576i)
video signal
to
a 1080 High Definition video signal.
Consequently, this unit
is
able
to
provide video of optimal resolution
to
the connected
TV
Pan&ScanlLetterbox
In
general. DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be
viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images
often don't fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions, Two styles of
picture, "Pan & Scan" and "Lelterbox", deal with this problem,
24p
This
is
a progressive Image recorded
at
a rate of
24
frames per
second,
720p (750p)
In
one high definition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass at the same
time
to
create a progressive image, Since progressive video does not
alternate scan lines like interlace, there
is
a minimal amount of
screen flicker
Pan&Scan:The sides are cut off so the picture fills
the screen
Letterbox Black bands appear at the top and boltom
of the picture so the picture itself appears
in
an
aspect ratio of 16:9,
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio,
enabling you
to
enjoy digital audio with no hassle,
Progressive/Interlace
The video signal standard of NTSC has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,
whereas progressive (p) scanning uses twice the number of scan
lines, and this
is
referred
to
as 480p, Using progressive output, you
can enjoy watching high resolution video,
Router
Distinguishes the IP address assigned
to
each device, such
as
the
PC, and relays the flow of data within the network,
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave
(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital
encoding), Sampling frequency
is
the number of samples taken per
second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the
original sound,
Subnet mask
Enables efficient network use, A set of numbers which identify which
part of the IP address allocated
to
every device connected to the
router is the network portion,
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
An
interface specification
to
connect peripherals. Playback of MP3,
JPEG or DivX recorded
to
a USB device by
PC
or other equipment,
or JPEG
in
the Panasonic digital camera or similar connected
via
USB connection cable is possible with this unit.
VIERA CAST
An
information service unique to Panasonic where specific Web sites
can be viewed
on
this unit
by
connecting
to
the Internet without using
a
PC,
x.v.Color™
x,v,Color'"
is
a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC
format. an international standard for expanded color
in
motion
pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission,
You
can enjoy vivid colors
of
wider color ranges for a more realistic
picture when connected to a TV that supports the
x.v.Color™
with
HDMI cable,
1080i (1125i)
In
one high definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines pass
to
create
an
interlaced image. Because 1080i (1125i) more than
doubles current television broadcasts of 480i, the detail is much
clearer and creates a more realistic and rich image,
1080p (1125p)
In
one high definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at the same
time
to
create a progressive image, Since progressive video does not
alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of
screen flicker.
