This had adrawback, in that it tended to increase noise and black-out parts ofthe image where the video signal did not require boosting. AdaptiveAGC raises contrast while suppressing noise by detecting andboosting only the image edges.Note: The default setting for the Adaptive AGC is OFF.Technologies for Improving Picture Clarity andColoursCleaner Moving Images — High-Precision MPD Noise ReductionThis newly developed technology dramatically reduces MPD (MotionPicture Disturbance) noise to deliver crisp, clean moving images.Using a Panasonic original algorithm, it detects motion patterns thattend to generate noise and makes the necessary adjustments tomaximize image quality. And it does this without diminishing thequality of stationary objects, such as those in the background. Vibrant Colours and Natural Skin Tones — 3D Colour Management System3D Colour Management System is a new correction process thatworks in a three-dimensional colour matrix (hue, saturation, andbrightness) rather than the conventional two-dimensional colourdifference plane. By correcting hue and brightness independently andproviding finer control, this process delivers vibrant colours andnatural skin tones. Note: The default setting for the 3D Colour Management System is OFF.Technologies for Enhancing Resolution andSharpnessBetter Vertical Resolution — Active I/P ConversionThe Active I/P (Interlace/Progressive) Conversion system detectsslow movements more precisely by increasing the range for detectingmoving-picture and still-picture pixels. This reduces I/P conversionnoise that often occurs when reproducing tiny movements, therebyproducing crisper images while raising the vertical resolution ininterlaced images.Functions that Improve UsabilityPicture-In-Picture modesuperimposes a small sub-screenpicture over a full-screen picture. COMPONENT 1COMPONENT 2COMPONENT 1COMPONENT 2COMPONENT 1COMPONENT 2Picture-And-Picture mode splitsthe screen in half and showsdifferent pictures on each half. Picture-Out-Picture mode displaysa small picture on the right side ofthe screen.4 5Conventional stripe rib structureNew bounded cell structure1x2x3x4xTwo Different Images on One Screen — Dual Picture ModeYou can simultaneously display images from any two different kinds ofAV sources connected. Or, adding one of the optional terminal boardslets you display images from two of the same type of image source,such as two PCs or two DVD players. This function allows you to takefull advantage of the plasma display's large screen.Up to 4x Enlargement of Image Zones — Digital ZoomThis function lets you enlarge a portion ofan image by up to four times normal sizeand display it on the full screen. Use thisfunction to give your presentations greaterimpact.*Digital Zoom does not work in Dual Picture mode. Images of SXGA resolution or higher from a PC or RGB source may not enlarge correctly. Some degradation occurs when images are enlarged. Huge Display Equivalent to 260-inches — Multi-Screen ApplicationsThe built-in image-enlarging function makes it easier to set up multi-screen displays featuring four (2 x 2), nine (3 x 3), or sixteen (4 x 4)units. For example, with sixteen 65-inch displays you can configure ahuge display equivalent to 260 inches by simply connecting ordinarycables. That's the kind of display that catches eyes at shopping mallsand event sites. This function works with component video signals, soyou can use enlarged images from DVD and other high-qualitysources in your display. *The image-enlarging function operates on video signal and on PC/RGB signal up to XGA mode. However, a normal display may not be obtained with some PC/RGB signals.Note:The ambient temperature varies depending on the installation location. Provide sufficient air conditioning for surrounding conditions. Technologies for Increasing Contrast and GradationStunning 4000:1 Dark-Area Contrast* — New Real Black Drive SystemBy reducing the pre-dischargeemission when reproducingblack, the New Real BlackDrive System provides deeper,richer blacks and a stunning4000:1 contrast*. The result isdramatically enhanced imageclarity and realism.* For the SD models.Even Higher Bright-Area Contrast — Deep Black FilterThe front protective glass of the plasma display panel incorporates aDeep Black Filter that suppresses light transmittance and slashes theamount of external light reflected. This helps our displays achieve theindustry's highest level of contrast when viewed in brightsurroundings. 1,536 Shades of Gradation in Dark Scenes — New Super Real Gamma SystemIn scenes with low brightness levels, the New Super Real GammaSystem reproduces gradation in steps equivalent to 1,536 shades. Inother words, this original, non-linear signal processing systemprovides superior performance at brightness levels where the humaneye sees best. As a result, it adds subtle nuances to darker scenesand gives images greater depth.Technologies for Increasing Brightness10% Brighter Images — New MACH Panel with Bounded Cell StructureThe New MACH (Multi-facet AsymmetricalConfiguration Hyper-pixel)Panel features a boundedcell structure in whichwall-like ribs are used towrap each individual cell.By increasing the area inwhich the phosphor canbe applied, thisdramatically improves both light-emitting efficiency and intensity.Furthermore, improvements to the drive circuit and plasma gas insidethe panel have enabled Panasonic to boost peak brightness whileactually lowering power consumption compared with our previousmodels. As a result, peak brightness is boosted by 10% comparedwith a previous Panasonic model. The new panel structure boasts a long service life of 60,000 hours*. Anewly developed phosphor also raises the plasma displays'resistance to static-image screen burning to the same level as CRTdisplays.*The time until panel brightness is reduced to half its initial level. The service life given above is intended as a guideline when displaying standard moving images. However, this time varies depending on the content of the images displayed and the usage environment. Enhanced Screen Saver FunctionsA variety of screen saver functions help minimise the risk of unevenphosphor aging. You can also use the timer to set the screen saveroperating cycles, operating time, and start and stop times. This letsyou make settings that match your application.•White Bar Scroll:White bars move across the screen from left to right at regular intervals. Good for ordinary still-image displays.•Screen Reversal:Displays images with the black and white reversed. Good for text displays.•Side Panel Adjustment:Brightens the black bands on the sides of the screen when displaying images in the 4:3 format.•Wobbling:Shifts the image's position by several pixels at fixed time intervals.•Peak Limit Mode:Lowers the peak brightness level (image contrast) by 30%.Energy-Saving FunctionsA broad range of environment-friendly functions help minimise energyconsumption.•DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling)Power is automatically turned on or off in response to a sync signal from the PC connected to the built-in PC input terminal. • Auto Power OffWhen you're using a device connected to the multi-function slots, the display panel goes into standby mode after about 10 minutes if no sync signal is received.• Power Save ModeReduces the display's brightness.• Standby Power Save ModeReduces power consumption when on standby. (Start-up may take a few moments once the display is in this mode.)Front Button ControlThe five buttons on the front bezel give youinstant access to all major functions via aneasy-to-read on-screen menu display.Fan-Less Quiet OperationOur "silence engineering" has eliminated theneed for a fan — and fan noise — giving you the kind of quietoperation that makes for a more pleasant viewing experience.(TH-65PHD7 and TH-50PHD7 feature a noise-suppressing silence design.)Vertical MountingPanasonic plasma display can bepositioned vertically to displayportrait images and can serve asan effective storefront electronicsignboard. •Optional Fan Kit for Vertical Mounting ApplicationsTY-UPK50HV7 (for TH-50PHD7)TY-UPK42HV7 (for TH-42PHD7)* Operating temperature: 0 to 35°C
