Understanding HDTV

What is Digital Television or DTV?

Digital TVs are televisions that can receive and display digital television broadcasts sent using any one of three following categories: HDTV (High Definition TV), EDTV (Enhanced Digital TV), and SDTV (Standard Definition TV).

What is the Difference Between HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV?

HDTV, EDTV, and SDTV are three grades of televison or monitors. They reference the maximum resolution capability of a digital television or monitor to fully display digital broadcasts without having to “down-convert” the actual signal content to fit the monitor’s display limitations. The resolution requirements for each of the three DTV classifications and an explanation of the specifications are described below:

Vertical Res.

Horizontal Res.2Aspect Ratio

Scan Method

1080 lines 1920 dots 16:9 Wide Interlaced 720 lines 1280 dots 16:9 Wide Progressive HDTV grade televisions and monitors are capable of displaying a maximum of either 1080 lines using interlaced scan method or 720 lines using progressive scan method.

Vertical Res.

Horizontal Res.2Aspect Ratio

Scan Method

480 lines 640 dots 4:3 Progressive EDTV grade televisions and monitors are capable of displaying a maximum of 480 lines using progressive scan method. All resolutions higher than 480 lines must be reduced to 480 lines in order to be displayed. Progressive scan method reduces flicker; however, picture quality may not necessarily outperform 480 interlaced when viewed at normal viewing distances.

Vertical Res.

Horizontal Res.2Aspect Ratio

Scan Method

480 lines 640 dots 4:3 Interlaced SDTV grade televisions and monitors are capable of displaying a maximum of 480 lines using interlaced scan method. All resolutions higher than 480 lines must be reduced to 480 lines in order to be displayed.

Vertical Resolution (Scan Lines)

Vertical scan lines refer to the number of horizontal lines a TV or monitor can display to create an image. As the number of lines increase, more information is displayed, resulting in better picture quality.

Horizontal Resolution

Each horizontal line in a TV or monitor is made up of individual dots (pixels). The higher the number of pixels, the finer the TV picture becomes. Horizontal pixel measurements using today's technology can range from 250 for a VCR to as much as 500 for a DVD player.

Aspect Ratio

Aspect ratio identifies the ratio of the TV screen's width over its height. A 16:9 aspect ratio refers to a wide-screen picture format, while a 4:3 refers to a standard “square” TV format.

Scan Mode

Interlaced scanning is a method that creates a TV picture with alternating lines of information and is the cause for flickering. Progressive scanning is a method that creates a TV picture with consecutive lines

of information that results in flicker-free picture quality.

Page 20

USING WITH HDTV

How is a HDTV/EDTV/SDTV Different from a HDTV/EDTV/SDTV Monitor?

In order to receive digital broadcasts, a digital “receiver” or “decoder” must be used to receive and decode digital broadcast signals. Digital decoders can be built into the display itself or they may come in the form of a set-top box that is added separately to the display. HDTV/EDTV/SDTV Monitors are digital monitors without a digital decoder built into the television whereas HDTV/EDTV/SDTV T elevisions are displays with a decoder built-in. HDTV/EDTV/SDTV Monitors give you the flexibility to add a digital decoder in the future when digital broadcasts are more prevalent.

What is "Down-Convert"?

Down-convert takes place when a digital broadcast signal exceeds the display capabilities of the display and the broadcast signal is reduced to match the television's limited display capabilities. For example, if a TV station broadcasts a digital program using 1080 lines (1080i format) while the display can only display 480 lines, the signal is reduced or down-converted to only 480 lines, resulting in lesser information being displayed.

This plasma monitor is qualified as an EDTV Monitor. This means that this monitor can display up to 480 lines using progessive scan format; therefore resolutions higher than 480 lines must be down-converted in order to be displayed. This EDTV Monitor includes advanced digital processing circuitry where the down-conversion process is done automatically while maximizing picture quality.

What is "Up-Convert"?

Up-convert takes place when a digital television's display capabilities exceed the digital broadcast signal and the broadcast signal is increased to match the TV's display capabilities. For example, if a TV station broadcasts a digital program using 480 lines and the digital television is able to display 1080 lines, the signal is increased or “up-converted” to match the TV.

This monitor includes advanced digital processing where all traditional analog television and video formats (NTSC / P AL) in the form interlaced signals are up-converted to 480 lines progressive scan method. Please note that up-conversion may result in some picture artificacts because information is being artificially added to the picture.

Is This Plasma Monitor Compatible with Digital TV / HDTV?

This plasma monitor is compatible with digital TV. In order to receive digital television broadcasts, you will need to use a “HDTV decoder” or “HDTV set-top box” with component video output or RGB video output. Please consult your local sales representative prior to purchasing a HDTV decoder or HDTV set-top box.

Widescreen (16:9 Aspect Ratio) Viewing Modes

Understanding Widescreen Modes

This plasma monitor is capable of displaying a widescreen image on the native 16:9 aspect ratio screen. However, not all available broadcast or video content fits perfectly in a widescreen (16:9) format resulting in unused screen space. Please use the following guidelines to determine suitable widescreen viewing modes available that best support the type of broadcast / video content you wish to display. All widescreen viewing modes are available by pressing the WIDE key. Pressing the WIDE key will repeatedly cycle through:

For 4:3 Aspect Ratio (Square) Content

Content from VCR, and some DVD’s are formatted using a “square” 4:3 format:

Then we recommend the following three viewing options:

4:3 (NORMAL)

In 4:3 mode, the original 4:3 image is preserved but black bars are added to the the extra space on the left and right.

16:9 (FULL)

The original 4:3 image is proportionally stretched to fill the entire screen.

P ANORAMA

The original 4:3 image is expanded in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The center of the picture is almost normal while the endges are considerably expanded.

For Widescreen Content

Many popular DVD titles are “anamorphic” (widescreen); however, there are two predominant “anamorphic” (widescreen) asepct ratios: 2.35:1 and

1.85:1. When 2.35:1 content is displayed on this 16:9 widescreen monitor, you will notice smaller black bars on top or bottom of the screen. When a

1.85:1 content is displayed, you will still see black bars, but not as large as 2.35:1.

If you do not want to see the black bars when playing back a widescreen movie, you can set to ZOOM 2 or ZOOM 3 to fully stretch the image.

ZOOM: 1

Zoom1 shifts the image up to faciliate the display of subtitles.

ZOOM: 2

Zoom 2 is set to stretch 1.85:1 content to full screen eliminating the black bars.

ZOOM: 3

Zoom 3 is set to stretch 2.35:1 content to full screen eliminating the black bars.

Notes:

1. 4:3 and Panorama modes are not available when zoom mode is engaged.

2. When using Component 1 and Component 2 inputs to display 480p, 1080i or 720p, Panorama mode is not available.

3. When using RGB or DVI inputs, only 4:3 and 16:9 modes are available.
