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)
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
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.
LAN (Local Area Network)
A group of linked devices in a company, school or home.
Indicates the boundaries of a particular network.
Local storage
This storage area is used as a destination for sub contents for
playing BD-Live on BD-Video.
LPCM (Linear PCM)
This is a type of PCM format.
These are uncompressed digital signals, similar to those found
on CDs.
MPEG2 (Moving Picture Experts Group)
A standard for efficiently compressing and expanding color
video.
MPEG2 is a compression standard used for DVD and satellite
based digital broadcasting.
MP3 (MPEG Audio Layer 3)
An audio compression method that compresses audio to
approximately one tenth of its size without any significant loss
of audio quality.
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.
PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)
This is one format for converting analog audio into digital audio,
enabling you to enjoy digital audio with no hassle.
Picture-in-picture
This is a 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.
Progressive/Interlace
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.
Router
Distinguishes the IP address assigned to each device, such as
the PC, and relays the flow of data within the network.
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.
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.
VIERA CAST
TM
An information service unique to Panasonic where specific
Web sites can be viewed on this unit by connecting to the
Internet without using a PC.
x.v.Color
TM
x.v.Color
TM
is a name for devices that are compatible with the
xvYCC format, an international standard for expanded color in
motion pictures, and that follow the rules for signal
transmission.
You can enjoy vivid colors of wider color ranges for a more
realistic picture when connected to a TV that supports the
x.v.Color
TM
with HDMI cable.
1080i (1125i)
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.
1080p (1125p)
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.
* This unit can only output 1080/24p.
24p
This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per
second.
720p (750p)
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.
Pan&Scan: The sides are cut off so the
picture fills the screen.
Letterbox: Black bands appear at the top
and bottom of the picture so
the picture itself appears in an
aspect ratio of 16:9.
