Panasonic DVD Players Feature Explanations:
- 1 - 108MHz 12-bit Video Digital-to-Analog Converter
- The video D/A converter features an extremely high sampling frequency of 108MHz, with 16x oversampling of the DVD video signal, resulting in the most finely detailed D/A conversion.
- 2 - Progressive Scan
- Progressive scanning doubles the scan lines of an interlaced signal (from 480i to 480p) by scanning all 525 lines in 1/60 of a second for each pass. The higher-density video signal brings a film-like quality to DVD images, extraordinarily close to the way they originally appeared in the cinema, with rich detail, incredible depth of field, and precise color reproduction.
- 3 - 720p/1080i Upconversion
- When the Panasonic DVD-S68 is connected to an HDMI-compliant monitor, standard 480p DVD images can be upconverted to 720p or 1080i for output, resulting in pictures near HDTV in quality. The converted images have a much higher resolution than the 480p images of conventional component output. You get beautiful high-resolution images that are prefect for today's large-screen HD plasma display panels, LCDs and LCD projectors.
- 4 - Switchable Component Video Out
- A picture-enhancing advancement in DVD-Video technology. It keeps the black and white, red, and blue signals of the video image intact (and separate) during transmission, to maintain high picture quality.
- 5 - 192kHz/24-bit Digital/Analog Converter
- DVD-Audio's extreme fidelity comes from its much greater sampling rates and bit depths. In fact, at its 192kHz/24-bit maximum, DVD-Audio can reproduce high frequencies up to 96kHz, nearly five times the audio spectrum, while achieving dynamic range of 144dB. These high-frequency components of the audio signal beyond 20kHz play key roles in communicating delicate musical nuances, hall ambience, and soundstage imaging.
- 6 - HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
- HDMI* (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an interface standard for digital transmission of video and audio signals. With HDMI, the signals are not compressed. Transmission is direct and "pure" -- free of the degradation and noise that occur with analog signal transmission. This new interface supports image resolution all the way up to 1080p.
HDMI is particularly well suited for images that will be viewed on plasma display panels, LCDs and other equipment that uses all-digital image processing. In terms of sound, HDMI is ideal for DVD-Audio and other high-quality digital formats. It accurately transmits even the most delicate signal components contained in high-quality audio signals. The result is superb sound, whether the source is two-channel or multi-channel.
HDMI is simple to use, too, requiring connection of a single cable. With all these advantages, HDMI is the ideal interface for today's age of steadily advancing digital A/V equipment and media.
- 7 - MP3 Playback With USB REC
- MP3 playback for contents recorded on CD-R/RW media from CDs for your personal use. Plays back MPEG Layer 3 (.MP3) and Windows Media (.WMA) Internet audio formats. Playability may vary depending on contents and discs. You can rip audio files (CD-DA) from a CD on a USB-connected device into MP3 format.
- 8 - JPEG Still Image Playback
- Display a list of JPEG digital images as photos recorded onto a CD-R or CD-RW, or do a slide show.
- 9 - Easy to Operate Remote Control
- The large cursors make DVD software menu operation incredibly simple. Better still, often-used keys are laid out around the cursors, so you can perform more operations with a single finger.
- 10 - HDMI CEC
- The DVD-S68 DVD player supports the HDMI CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) protocol with other HDMI CEC-compatible devices.* When a video disc is placed in the unit and you press POWER, it turns on the TV, then disc play starts. When you turn off the TV, all connected HDMI CEC devices switch to standby mode simultaneously. The ability to control with TV's remote control Playback Control, Disc Menu Control and Device Select.
