P4HD
(Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)
To get the best HD images from a BD-Video disc, you need a player that
renders high-quality progressive images, expresses motion smoothly, and
draws sharp diagonal lines. The DMP-BD60 P4HD processes more than 15 billion
pixels per second and applies the optimum processing to every pixel in
the video data on the disc. The result is images with exceptional resolution.
This is Blu-Ray, this is high definition.
BonusView
Bonus View Functionality on this product
* lets users enjoy Picture-in-Picture (which displays a second image in
a sub-window) and Audio Mixing (which lets you switch the sound between
the main and subwindows) while a movie is playing.
*BD-ROM Profile 1 Ver.1.1
Precise Pixel Generation
BD-Video supports a number of formats. For example, highest-quality format
1920 x 1080 pixels, 1080P can be recorded at any of four different frame
rates - 59.94i, 50i, 23.976p and 24p - and the compression format can
be MPEG2, MPEG4 AVC or VC-1. The BD-Video player must detect these instantly
and perform progressive conversion where necessary. Both for the de-interlacing and scaling, the DMP-BD60'S super-high-speed
P4HD generates each pixel correctly according to information obtained
from up to 60 surrounding pixels. Applying progressive processing to huge
amounts of data, it delivers images of striking beauty.
16-Level Motion
Detection with Pixel-Based Motion Adaptive
For optimum progressive conversion, the processing must suit the motion
of the image. The super-high-speed P4HD categorizes the image motion of
each pixel into one of 16 levels, from stationary to super fast. For areas
with stationary images, it applies the progressive processing best suited
to still images. In other areas it applies processing that matches the degree of motion. The results are stunningly beautiful progressive images
with minimum conversion errors.
Diagonal Processing
The ability to create smooth, sharp diagonal lines is a key in progressive
conversion. The P4HD quickly detects diagonals and applies correction
to the pixels accordingly. In reproducing the kinds of geometric patterns
often seen in architecture, for example, the DMP-BD60 provides exceptionally
smooth, sharp diagonal lines whether the image is still or moving.
3:2/2:2 Pull-down Progressive processing
The P4HD instantly determines whether a source is film or video and optimizes
the processing accordingly. Applying 3:2 or 2:2* pull-down with movie
software, it makes images look natural and true to life.
* 2:2 Pull-down : DVD-only
[i]VIErA Link compatible
products include the 2008 range of VIErA Plasma and LCD TVs; 2008 DVD
Recorders and 2008 Home Theatre Systems.
*Non HDMI cables cannot be utilised. Panasonic HDMI cables are highly
recommended.
The P4HD achieves high-speed, highly precise i/p conversion.
This makes it possible to convert 480i and even previously difficult-to-convert
1080i signals to full-HD 1080P images.
* HDMI connection required.
Up-Conversion to
1080P* Playback
When playing a BD-Video or DVD disc, the P4HD up-converts content recorded
in 480i/p, 576i/p, 720p or 1080i format to 1080P with high precision.
You will enjoy superb 1080P-level image quality.
* HDMI connection required.
Natural Analogue
Video
148.5MHz/12bit Video D/A Converter
DMP-BD60 incorporates a 148.5MHz, 12bit Video D/A Converter from Analog
Devices Co. Ltd. that provides high-quality 4x oversampling for 1080i/720p
output. NSV (noise shaping video) processing shifts the noise component
to an unused band to further boost the signal-to-noise ratio. And finally,
we added extremely fine 12bit signal processing that renders ultra-fine images with smooth gradation. Thanks to technologies like these, the DMP-BD60
can theoretically reproduce up to nearly 4400 billion colours.
Sound
192kHz/24bit Audio D/A Converter for All Channels
The DMP-BD60 uses
a 192kHz/24bit D/A converter for each of the eight channels to achieve
truly superb surround sound. The D/A converter uses Advanced Segment D-A
processing, which applies multi-bit processing to establish the audio
reference and 1bit processing to render the delicate nuances. These combine
to create a remarkably beautiful sound that has both power and purity.
Featuring Bitstream output over HDMI for Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD
& DTS-HD & DTS-HD Master Audio the DMP-BD60 is the ideal choice
for lossless audio home theatre.
Other Features
* SD Card Slot with AVCHD Support for Photo & Video Viewing
You can view your photos and video images on your television from SD Card.
AVCHD Playback means your SD Card High Definition Camcorder SD card can
be quickly and easily viewed on your TV from your DMP-BD60 Blu-ray disc
