Manufacturer's Description
True to Cinema Picture Quality
FULL HD 3D Blu-ray Disc™ Playback
Advanced 2D image technology accumulated over the years at the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory (PHL) has also been applied to 3D image playback, allowing high quality images to approach original film quality. Lifelike 3D images with dramatic leaping effects and enhanced depth, lustre and texture are beautifully reproduced.
Adaptive Chroma Processing
Adaptive Chroma Processing is a high quality image-processing technology developed to precisely process each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc™ video signal in vertical and horizontal directions. Compared with 2010 models, vertical colour data processing has been increased by 1.5 times. This allows Adaptive Chroma Processing to faithfully reproduce colour data.
Full HD Up Sampling
Full HD Up Sampling also allows standard definition movies on DVD discs to approach Full HD quality. The picture is intelligently analysed to optimise the processing of each pixel.
Video on Demand in HD Quality
Enjoy smooth images even with the low frame rate of video on demand. Super resolution processing optimised for video on demand up-converts all streaming images into HD quality. You get beautiful streaming images even on a large-screen TV.
2D to 3D Conversion with Depth Control
The 2D-3D Conversion makes it possible to convert images from DVDs and Blu-ray™ discs into 3D with natural depth perception. So you can watch your prize DVD movie collection in 3D for greater viewing enjoyment. Even more, the AVCHD movie files recorded with HD camcorders can also be converted from 2D to 3D.
* Except for 1080/60p,1080/50p movie files recorded with Panasonic HD Camcorder.
The 3D Effect Controller lets you moderate the leaping effects of 3D images. It also lets you adjust the amount of depth, so you can view expansive images and enjoy movies with exactly the kind of 3D effects you want.
True to Cinema Sound Quality
Digital Tube Sound
Panasonic has been studying the sound of vacuum tube amplifiers for many years. And now, we are able to faithfully simulate the characteristics of the distinctive, warm, comforting sound of tube amplifiers. With this feature, 6 different types of vacuum tube sound, with distinct personalities can be enjoyed.
High Clarity Sound
When the analogue video terminal is not being used, the electrical current that flows through the analogue video circuit can be completely stopped. This prevents adverse effects on the audio signals and produces clearer sound.
Pure Audio on HDMI
By providing greater stability to the audio signals than last year's models, we've minimised the occurrence of jitter during HDMI signal transmission. This makes it possible to reproduce sounds that are highly faithful to the originals recorded onto Blu-ray™ discs and DVDs. High-grade audio signals from the player can also be received regardless of the TV or AV receiver brand.
96kHz Surround Re-master
The 96kHz Surround Re-master function enhances the sound quality of CDs and other sources, and even raises the quality of the multi-channel audio data on Blu-ray™ discs and DVDs. It increases the amount of sound information to produce highly realistic sounds.
Built-in WiFi for Viera Cast including Skype
With VIERA CAST, you can enjoy online content such as YouTube, Picasa, weather and stock information wirelessly. Also, VIERA CAST has been further enhanced by Twitter and Skype. VIERA CAST with Skype lets you enjoy real-time visual communication on a large screen with faraway family and friends by displaying their images on the TV. The Blu-ray Disc™ players also feature a convenient and unique Auto Answering Video Message function and Video Voice Mail Recording function.
