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. TheDMP-BD35 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

* 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.

Precise Pixel Generation

BD-Video supports a number of formats. For example, highest-quality format 1920 x 1080 pixels, 1080Pcan 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, theDMP-BD35'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, theDMP-BD35 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.

i/p Conversion for 1080p* Playback

The P4HD achieves high-speed, highly precise i/p conversion. This makes it possible to convert 480i and even previouslydifficult-to-convert 1080i signals to full-HD 1080P images.

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.

NATURAL ANALOGUE VIDEO

148.5MHz/12bit Video D/A Converter

DMP-BD35incorporates 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, theDMP-BD35 can theoretically reproduce up to nearly 4400 billion colours.

SOUND

192kHz/24bit Audio D/A Converter for All Channels

TheDMP-BD35 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 Audiothe DMP-BD35 is the ideal choice for lossless audio home theatre.

OTHER FEATURES

SD Card Slot with AVCHD Support for Photo & VideoViewing

You can view your photos and videoimages on your television from SD Card. AVCHD Playback means your SD Card HighDefinition Camcorder SD card can be quickly and easily viewed on your TV from your DMP-BD35 Blu-ray disc player.

Viera Link easy connections and operation using HDMI cabling.

• A smart new way to enjoy the world of high-quality AV

By connecting theDMP-BD35 to a Panasonic VIERA flat-panel TV with an HDMI cable via HDMI, the user can control Panasonic AV components using the latest enhanced VIERA Link functionality[i].

Using the new Seamless Graphical User Interface, when the VIERA TV is on, switch toDMP-BD35 mode using the VIERA remote control. Simply press the VIERA Link button on the TV's remote control and select 'BD Player' on the VIERA Link menu screen. TheDMP-BD35menu will display on the TV screen, and you can begin playback of a Blu-ray disc or select from the Blu-ray disc menu.

TheDMP-BD35 offers several other convenient functions too, courtesy of VIERA Link. With one-touch home cinema playback, pressing a single button on the remote control turns on the TV,DMP-BD35 and an AV receiver at the same time and begins playback of movie software loaded in the disc player. Likewise, one button turns off all connected devices at the same time. And with Automatic Input Changing, pressing theDMP-BD35's play button also switches the TV input source to the DMP-BD35
