Introduction
Panasonic's 2009 line of VIERA HDTVs have improved their energy efficiency vs. last year's models, while also improving the overall picture performance of the HDTVs.
This is list of features provided by Panasonic's 2009 line of VIERA HDTVs
1.Access to HD movie rental via Amazon Video-on-Demand.
2.Improved VIERA CAST interface by implementing quick keyword input (like a cell phone) to help retrieve favorite content faster and easier.
3.Panasonic HDTVs VIERA Link - a technology that utilizes HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) and allows a consumer to operate all VIERA Link(TM: 65.38, -1.15, - 1.73%) compatible A/V components using only the TV's remote control and helpful onscreen menus.
4.In addition to operating a VIERA HDTV, video source (Blu-ray and DVD player) and home theater receiver; VIERA Link permits operation of a network camera.
A VIERA Link capable Network Camera BL-C210A can be connected to a VIERA HDTV and controlled via VIERA Link remote. Users can then watch their child, pet and/or property by installing the camera and networking to the VIERA HDTV via Ethernet cable. The BLC210A will be available in the United States in the summer of 2009.
1.Viewing of digital still photos and playback of AVCHD video recorded on SD card.
2.Panasonic New creation “Neo-PDP” line with a brighter panel, double luminance efficiency, deeper blacks with improved contrast ratio and 1080 TV lines of Moving Picture Resolution.
3.8 THX certified VIEra models (The V10 series and the G10 series )
Note: THX certification ensures that each display can present all HD and standard definition content to the maximum resolution with accurate color and luminance levels.

New |
Moving Picture Resolution 1080 Lines |
|
with 600 Hz Sub-field Drive |
||
|
Sports and other fast-action scenes are stunningly clear.
To improve the moving picture resolution, frames are generated at the sub-field level. With a frame generated each 1/60th of a second, images are created to match the motion.
Slide #13
Moving Picture Resolution
A static image is represented in its entirety 1920x1080.
When the image moves from frame to frame, resolution is lost by the drivers and electronics behind the screen.
Moving Picture Resolution 900 lines or more
The resolution can be different between static versus dynamic. As you are watching moving images - that is the resolution that Panasonic quotes. It might be 1300 for a JPEG (just showing a comparison)
480 Hz Sub-field Drive
480Hz refers to the subfield drive. 8 subfields per frame x 60 frames per second = 480 subfields per second = 480Hz
Slide #14
Sub-field
A number of sub-fields overlap to depict the image in each frame. Panasonic technology detects movement in the image and reflects it in each individual subfield to achieve smooth playback with minimal blurring.
What's Sub-field?
Plasma TVs express a single frame of an image by using multiple images, each having a different gradation.
These separate images are called sub-fields.
Slide #15
Over 2,000,000:1 High Contrast (Native 40,000:1)
New |
Series Z1, V10, G15, G10, S1, |
The shading in dimly-lit night scenes is beautifully rendered.
A high contrast is achieved by NeoPDP technology. This newly developed, highly efficient panel creates a larger difference
between maximum brightness (white) and minimum brightness (black).
Slide #16
AR Filter
Enjoy clearer images without bothersome reflections.
Screen reflections are cut when viewing in bright rooms.
This filter minimizes light reflections. Panasonic's unique low-reflection filter greatly reduces the reflected light intensity compared with the incident light intensity.

Wireless HD™ |
|
View HD images with wireless operation. |
|
sends high-resolution, full-HD data over a wireless connection. It |
enables a flexible VIERA layout to match any room interior.
*A special receiver is required to use WirelessHD™.
The usage distance and installation environment for the Wireless HD™ System and the effect that other machines will have on it are presently being tested, and the system performance is being confirmed. The actual usage distance might be shorter than the recommended distance due to physical obstacles
between the transmitter and receiver, the surrounding environment, or the building structure. With regard to the installation environment, should the Wireless HD™ System be installed in hot areas or areas that radiate heat, video and audio performance can be adversely affected and the system may even malfunction. Also, the incorrect placement of the transmitter and receiver can lead to picture and sound scrambling and interruption, and general poor performance.
With regard to the effect that other machines will have on the system, should the wireless transmitter or receiver be placed close to a telephone or microwave oven, normal operation may be prevented due to signal interference.
Slide #18
New |
Radio Frequency Remote Control |
|
The signals that propagate all around the room can be used to operate equipment without having to worry about the direction that the remote control is pointed. This allows easy operation of a Tuner that is placed inside an AV rack.
Note: This remote control uses 2.4GHz frequency. Please do not place this control near any other device which
may receive interference from the frequency.

Vda is now connected directly to the C board (P35 to C25). It is no longer routed thru the SS board.
There is no STB5V switching jumper on the SS board (SS34). The jumper is now on the P board (P34)
There is no relays click at plug in.
There is a cable between the SC board and the SS board.
The Key input line for CH UP, CH DWN, VOL UP, VOL DWN, Menu, and INPUT/OK operations is now routed thru the C1 board before it’s connected to the A board
The output of the SS board is monitored on the SC board (Energy Recovery)
The Scan Drive Section (SC, SU, and SD) can’t be isolated by just disconnecting SC2 and SC20 on the Scan board. The TV shuts down and the power LED blinks 6 times if these connectors are unplugged
