P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)<br />

This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive <strong>Panasonic</strong><br />

algorithm. Various processing is supported, including a high-level<br />

conversion of the TV scanning format from interlace to progressive<br />

and a high-level conversion of standard resolution (480i or 576i)<br />

video signal to a 1080 High Definition video signal.<br />

Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal resolution<br />

to the connected TV.<br />

Pan&Scan/Letterbox<br />

In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be<br />

viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images<br />

often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two styles of<br />

picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.<br />

Pan&Scan:The sides are cut off so the picture fills<br />

the screen.<br />

Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and bottom<br />

of the picture so the picture itself appears<br />

in an aspect ratio of 16:9.<br />

PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)<br />

This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio,<br />

enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.<br />

Progressive/Interlace<br />

The video signal standard of NTSC has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,<br />

whereas progressive (p) scanning uses twice the number of scan<br />

lines, and this is referred to as 480p. Using progressive output, you<br />

can enjoy watching high resolution video.<br />

Router<br />

Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as the<br />

PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.<br />

Sampling frequency<br />

Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave<br />

(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital<br />

encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per<br />

second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the<br />

original sound.<br />

Subnet mask<br />

Enables efficient network use. A set of numbers which identify which<br />

part of the IP address allocated to every device connected to the<br />

router is the network portion.<br />

USB (Universal Serial Bus)<br />

An interface specification to connect peripherals. Playback of MP3,<br />

JPEG or DivX recorded to a USB device by PC or other equipment,<br />

or JPEG in the <strong>Panasonic</strong> digital camera or similar connected via<br />

USB connection cable is possible with this unit.<br />

VIERA CAST<br />

An information service unique to <strong>Panasonic</strong> where specific Web sites<br />

can be viewed on this unit by connecting to the Internet without using<br />

a PC.<br />

x.v.ColorTM x.v.ColorTM is a name for devices that are compatible with the xvYCC<br />

format, an international standard for expanded color in motion<br />

pictures, and that follow the rules for signal transmission.<br />

You can enjoy vivid colors of wider color ranges for a more realistic<br />

picture when connected to a TV that supports the x.v.ColorTM with<br />

HDMI cable.<br />

1080i (1125i)<br />

In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines pass<br />

to create an interlaced image. Because 1080i (1125i) more than<br />

doubles current television broadcasts of 480i, the detail is much<br />

clearer and creates a more realistic and rich image.<br />

1080p (1125p)<br />

In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at the same<br />

time to create a progressive image. Since progressive video does not<br />

alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of<br />

screen flicker.<br />

24p<br />

This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per<br />

second.<br />

720p (750p)<br />

In one high definition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass at the same<br />

time to create a progressive image. Since progressive video does not<br />

alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of<br />

screen flicker.<br />
