Dynamic Iris for a High 10,000:1*3 Contrast Ratio
Panasonic’s Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to
achieve a remarkable 10,000:1*
3
contrast without sacricing
brightness. This helps to
reproduce deeper, richer
blacks, and provides
images with more
textured and realistic
details.
Active 3D Projection Capability (PT-DZ21K2/DS20K2)
Selected models in the PT-DZ21K2 Series are
compatible with both passive and active 3D
projection systems. It supports a separate,
external 100/120/144 Hz drive, IR emitter, and
active shutter glasses, or an active lter and
passive glasses for viewing 3D images.
Detail Clarity Processor 5 Clarifies and Enhances Fine Details
This proprietary circuit analyzes each individual image frame by frame
to clarify areas containing ne details and textures. A new processing
algorithm pulls hidden information from the super high, high, medium,
and low frequency bands, sharpening outlines, correcting contours,
and reducing ringing noise to improve the sense of resolution and
clarity of ne details.
