The master screen for home use which provides ideal pictures with renewed concept of high picture quality has been realized by adopting the newly developed "AVM plus" system.

Incorporating DCDi™ processor (Directional Correlation Deinterlacing)

The optimization of signal processing is realized by adopting DCDi™processor which is reputed to be able to reproduce smooth contour and incorporating only the high picture quality function suitable for the PDP characteristics of this processor into the "high definition digital multi-conversion (HDDMC) system". A distinct picture full of reality can be obtained by combining with DCDi™processor which has excellent expression of contour.

Complying HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection)

As BS and other High Definition digital broadcasting offerings grow, there is also growing demand to enjoy fully-digital transmission of these signals to the display device, without deterioration of picture quality. Meanwhile, protecting programs from unauthorized duplication remains a big concern among video content providers. These providers insist on copy-protection measures be installed in home theater sources and display devices.

HDCP was established to protect program contents from unauthorized duplication. With HDCP, source devices send encrypted (un-copyable) digital signals to display devices. The display devices then decode the signals and show the pictures. HDCP is now the world standard of coding digital pictures. In the "AVMplus" system, the DVI (digital video interface) terminal is designed to comply with the HDCP system to enable the connection with future digital video equipment by digital signal

Renewal of video decoder circuit

The video decoder circuit which processes analog picture signal has been renewed. Precision digital processing has considerably reduced noise and color blurring.
A distinct picture with reduced noise can be obtained in the terrestrial wave broadcasting, as well as VCR pictures.

A new and improved "Alis" panel(1,024 × 1,024) brings a dramatic boost in brightness(1000cd/m²). This panel can show digital Hi-vision broadcasting pictures in high resolution. Color reproduction has been considerably improved by adopting new fluorescent substance. Also, 10 bit processing refines the "feel" of screen images faithfully reproducing the equivalent to 1,024 gray scale.
Furthermore, distinct and dynamic pictures can be reproduced making use of the panel performance to the maximum level by the "AVM plus" system.

"Fine mode" function

"Fine mode" function (Hyper cinema mode) controls not only signal processing parameter but also discharge timing in high resolution by input video level and enables to control the brightness level to the optimum without deteriorating excellent gray scale and color reproducibility unlike conventional cinema mode by our original brightness control system to lower the brightness without deteriorating the delivery of gray scale nuances.

"Professional setting" function

Various video functions have been incorporated to correspond to the user's strong requirement for picture quality.

1. "Luminance" adjustment function which can set the brightness of "Fine mode" minutely in 13 steps.
2. "Black level" adjustment function which can set only the brightness of "dark scene" often seen in the movie source in 31 steps.
3. "Color temperature" adjustment function which can set color temperature in 15 steps at every 500k°.
4. "Video memory" function which can store the set adjustment value for up to 8 patterns.

Various system upgrades can be achieved with the multi-selector's abundant set of top quality input terminals. No worries about signal degradation between the multi-selector and the display! Just connect the two via the digital video and optical digital sound cable. Furthermore, a terrestrial TV-signal tuner is built in and a 110° CS digital Hi-vision tuner is available for this type of high-definition broadcast.

Video input terminal

Upgrade-ability s assured with total 8 input terminals, the most abundant supply of PDP input terminals in the industry. 1 selectable terminal for Video/S video/RGB, 2 terminals for component, 1 terminal for RGB and 1 terminal for DVI-D (compatible with HDCP), future system upgrades can be carried out as befits the main home theater screen.

Audio input/output terminal

Equipped with 8 terminals corresponding to each video input, a home theater can be configured smartly by a combination of high performance 10W + 10W digital amplifier with built-in display and thin-type high sound quality optional speaker developed exclusively for plasma display. Also, with 2 optical digital input terminals and 1 optical digital/analog output terminal, the audio system-up can be realized freely.

Optional items

A digital High-vision broadcasting of high picture quality can be enjoyed by "BS·110° CS digital High-vision tuner (P-TU1000JS)" which is simultaneously released.

New development of optical filter for home use

Lustrous red and natural skin tones can be expressed by special filter pigments which absorb extra emissions of orange color typical of the neon gasses which are a component of PDP operation. As a result, the optimum and highest level of color purity can be realized according to the characteristics of new panel.

New, dignified design

A master screen for home use with dignified feeling and high impact through a functional yet simple design. Also, the multi-selector's compound blue lighting accent takes away the image of equipment clutter.
