AVCHD
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video
cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution
HD images.
BD-J
Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these
applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive
features in addition to playing normal video.
Bitstream
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1
channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
Deep Color
Deep Color is a name for a device that can reproduce greater
color gradation (4096 steps) when connected to a TV that
supports the Deep Color with HDMI cable. You can enjoy
exceptionally rich, natural-looking colors, with smooth, detailed
gradation and minimal color banding. [A lower color gradation
(256 steps), without Deep Color, will be reproduced if
connected to a TV which does not support Deep Color. The
unit will automatically set appropriate output to suit the
connected TV.]
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these
signals can also be multi-channel audio.
Dolby Digital Plus
Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible
using Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel
output.
Dolby Pro Logic II
Dolby Pro Logic II enables you to play stereo sources on
5.1 channel.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that
reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to
7.1 channel output.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found
on some discs into fewer channels.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is
good separation between the channels, so realistic sound
effects are possible.
DTS-HD
DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in
movie theatrers. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible
equipment can play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio.
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous
DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 formats. It is compatible with
sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to
7.1 channel output.
DTS-HD Master Audio
This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/
7.1 ch or less. In addition, faithful reproduction of the master
audio is enabled using lossless audio encoding technology.
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of
sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and
the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between
the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at
low volumes but still hear dialog clearly.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products.
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed
digital video and audio signals on a single cable.
LPCM (Linear PCM)
These are a kind of PCM format.
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found
on CDs.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital
audio, enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.
P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)
This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive
Panasonic algorithm. Various 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.
x.v.Color
TM
x.v.Color
TM
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
TM
with HDMI cable.
24p
This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per
second (motion-picture film). Many BD-Video movie contents
are recorded in 24 frames/second in accordance with the film
materials.
