What is VIERA Link “HDAVI Control”?
VIERA LinkTM is a new name for EZ SyncTM
VIERA Link “HDAVI Control” is a convenient function that offers
linked operations of this unit, and a Panasonic TV (VIERA) or

indicated on the screen as “¢”. When any item without
“¢” is selected, the images may be distorted.
≥480p
≥1080i
≥720p
≥1080p
– When the unit is connected to an amplifier/receiver that does not support the
resolution set on the unit, the video cannot be output properly. In this case, use
the HDMI cable to connect the unit to the TV and then connect the unit to the
amplifier/receiver using a cable other than HDMI.
– To enjoy high definition video up-converted to 1080p, you need to connect the
unit directly to 1080p compatible HDTV (High Definition Television). If this unit is
connected to an HDTV through other equipment, it must also be 1080p
compatible.

Images in 24p are output in 24p as they are.
However,
When this unit is connected to a TV supporting 1080/24p
output via an HDMI cable, this unit displays each frame at
1/24 second intervals – the same interval originally shot
with the film camera.
≥When playing DVD-Video, set to “On” and then set “24p”
in “Video” (> 25) to “On”
–when video is being output at 24 frames, images from any other

Glossary
Hub
AVCHD
Used for connecting more than one device to the network.
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video cameras
that can be used to record and play high-resolution HD images.
IP address
A set of numbers which distinguish each device on the network
when, for example, connected to the Internet. When using a PC in a
LAN to access a PC or device that is not included in the LAN, the IP
address is called the local IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.10)
BD-J
Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these
applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive
features in addition to playing normal video.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
BD-Live
This is a system used for compressing/decoding color still pictures. If
you select JPEG as the storage system on digital cameras, etc., the
data will be compressed to 1/10–1/100 of its original size. The
benefit of JPEG is less deterioration in picture quality considering
the degree of compression.
This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 2) that supports the
new functions such as Internet connection, etc. in addition to the
BONUSVIEW function.
Bitstream
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 5.1 channel)
before it is decoded into its various channels.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A group of linked devices in a company, school or home.
Indicates the boundaries of a particular network.
BONUSVIEW (Final Standard Profile)
This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM version 2 Profile 1 version 1.1) that
supports the new functions such as Picture-in-picture, Secondary
Audio, and Virtual Package, etc.
Local storage
This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for
playing virtual packages on BD-Video.
DivX
LPCM (Linear PCM)
These are a kind of PCM format.
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found on
CDs.
DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX
media files contain highly compressed video with high visual quality
that maintains a relatively small file size.
DNS Server
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates Internet
domain names into IP addresses.
An audio compression method that compresses audio to
approximately one tenth of its size without any significant loss of
audio quality.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these signals can
also be multi-channel audio.
Pan&Scan/Letterbox
In general, DVD-Video are produced with the intention that they be
viewed on a widescreen television (16:9 aspect ratio), so images
often don’t fit regular (4:3 aspect ratio) televisions. Two styles of
picture, “Pan & Scan” and “Letterbox”, deal with this problem.
Dolby Digital Plus
Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible using
Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
Pan&Scan:The sides are cut off so the picture fills
the screen.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that reproduces the
studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
Down-mixing
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top and
bottom of the picture so the picture itself
appears in an aspect ratio of 16:9.
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found on
some discs into fewer channels.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is good
separation between the channels, so realistic sound effects are
possible.
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio,
enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.
Picture-in-picture
DTS-HD
This is a new function of BD-Video that plays the primary video and
secondary video simultaneously. For instance, the function is
capable of playing the original movie as the primary video while
playing video commentary from the film director on a small screen
as a secondary video.
DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in movie
theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible equipment can
play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio. BD-Video supports up
to 7.1 channel output.
Dynamic range
Progressive/Interlace
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of sound
that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and the highest
level of sound before distortion occurs.
The video signal standard of NTSC has 480 interlaced (i) scan lines,
whereas progressive (p) scanning uses twice the number of scan
lines, and this is referred to as 480p. Using progressive output, you
can enjoy watching high resolution video.
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between the
loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at low
volumes but still hear dialog clearly.
Router
Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as the
PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.
Film and video
DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit can
determine which type has been used, then uses the most suitable
method of progressive output.
Sampling frequency
Sampling is the process of converting the heights of sound wave
(analog signal) samples taken at set periods into digits (digital
encoding). Sampling frequency is the number of samples taken per
second, so larger numbers mean more faithful reproduction of the
original sound.
Film:
Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30
frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for
motion picture films.
Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second. Generally
appropriate for TV drama programs or animation.
Video:
Subnet mask
Enables efficient network use. A set of numbers which identify which
part of the IP address allocated to every device connected to the
router is the network portion.
Frames and fields
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you see
on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.
Virtual package
Some BD-Video discs copy data to other media (local storage) and
then play the secondary video, secondary audio, and subtitles (sub
contents) simultaneously.
u
r
These functions are called virtual packages.
Sub contents are automatically recorded to other media from the
Internet or disc prior to playing the virtual package. The playback
methods vary depending on discs.
Frame
Field
Field
≥A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, but
picture quality is generally better.
1080i (1125i)
≥A field still shows less picture information so it may be rougher, but
there is no blurring.
In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) alternating scan lines pass
to create an interlaced image. Because 1080i (1125i) more than
doubles current television broadcasts of 480i, the detail is much
clearer and creates a more realistic and rich image.
Gateway
IP address of the electronic device providing Internet access.
Usually called a router IP address. (e.g., 192.168.0.1)
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products. Unlike
conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed digital video
and audio signals on a single cable.

1080p (1125p)
720p (750p)
In one high definition image, 1080 (1125) scan lines pass at the
same time to create a progressive image. Since progressive video
does not alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal
amount of screen flicker.
In one high definition image, 720 (750) scan lines pass at the same
time to create a progressive image. Since progressive video does
not alternate scan lines like interlace, there is a minimal amount of
screen flicker.
24p
This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per
second.
