Glossary

Dynamic range

AVCHD

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.

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.

Film and video

BD-Live

DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit can

determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable

method of progressive output.

This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM Profile 2) that supports the new

functions such as Internet connection, etc. in addition to the

BONUSVIEW function.

Film:

Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30

frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for

motion picture films.

Bitstream

This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)

before it is decoded into its various channels.

Video:

Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Generally

appropriate for TV drama programs or animation.

BONUSVIEW (Final Standard Profile)

This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM Profile 1 version 1.1) that supports the

new functions such as Picture-in-picture, Secondary Audio, etc.

Frames and fields

Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see

on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.

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.]

Frame

Field

≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but

picture quality is generally better.

≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but

there is no blurring.

DNS Server

Gateway

A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates Internet

domain names into IP addresses.

IP address of the electronic device providing Internet access.

Usually called a router IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.1)

Dolby Digital

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)

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.

HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike

conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video

and audio signals on a single cable.

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.

Hub

Used for connecting more than one device to the network.

IP address

Dolby TrueHD

A set of numbers which distinguish each device on the network when,

for example, connected to the Internet. When using a PC in a LAN to

access a PC or device that is not included in the LAN, the IP address

is called the local IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.10)

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.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If

you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the

data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The benefit

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.

JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering the degree

of compression.

LAN (Local Area Network)

DTS-HD

A group of linked devices in a company, school or home.

Indicates the boundaries of a particular network.

DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in movie

theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible equipment can

play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio. BD-Video supports up

to 7.1 channel output.

Local storage

This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for playing

BD-Live on BD-Video.

DTS-HD High Resolution Audio

This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous DTS,

DTS-ES and DTS96/24 formats. It is compatible with sampling

frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel

output.

LPCM (Linear PCM)

These are a kind of PCM format.

These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on

CDs.

DTS-HD Master Audio

MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)

This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/7.1ch 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.

A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding color video.

MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite based

digital broadcasting.

MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)

An audio compression method that compresses audio to

approximately one tenth of its size without any significant loss of

audio quality.

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.

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.

24p

Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal resolution

to the connected TV.

This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per

second.

Pan&Scan/Letterbox

720p (750p)

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 “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.

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 bottom

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.

SQPB (S-VHS Quasi Playback)

This is a function to playback 3

cassettes recorded in S-VHS

format in a simplified way. It will not reproduce the high definition of

the S-VHS format.

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 or

JPEG 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^TM

x.v.Color^TMis 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^TMwith

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.
