Insight: High Definition TV

Get Ready for HDTV

High Definition TV is coming soon.

For example, in the UK both commercial

broadcasters and the BBC are already

filming some programmes in High

Definition. BSkyB has announced plans

to start HD broadcasts in 2006 while

many movie studios have committed to

producing movies on HD DVD. You will

need an HDTV receiver or HD DVD

player, but most importantly, you will

need a High Definition compatible TV.

What is HDTV?

Very simply, High Definition Television

is a digital system that gives you picture

quality that is vastly superior to current

broadcast systems. The improvement

in clarity, depth and sharpness of

images is instantly visible.

HDTV provides an average of eight

times more data on a display screen

than a standard definition broadcast

thanks to the increased picture

resolution that HD broadcasts deliver.

4

The Technical Bit

• Current digital TV broadcast system

(PAL) offers 576 active lines of

picture information, sent as an

interlaced signal, reproducing around

210,000 pixels.

• There are three main HDTV

standards: 720p, which offers 720

lines of image, progressively scanned;

1080i, providing 1080 lines of

interlaced image; and 1080p, which

provides 1080 lines of progressively

scanned lines.

• High Definition broadcasts carry two

million pixels of data signal - that’s

around eight times more picture detail

on the HDTV screen versus current

Digital broadcasts.

A new European industry-wide technical

standard has been defined for products

which will be able to display High

Definition images.

Any product featuring this logo

guarantees:

• A minimum native resolution of the

display or display engine (in the case

of DLP projectors, for example) is 720

lines in widescreen format.

• The display will accept HD signals

via component video and DVI or

HDMI interface.

• HD component inputs that will accept

the following video formats:

a) 1280 x 720p and b) 1920x1080i

(at 50 and 60Hz).

• A DVI or HDMI input with HDCP

copy protection support.

Available Now!

Toshiba already has a range of TVs and

projectors capable of displaying High

Definition broadcasts in all their glory

when they are available. In the

meantime, you can make the most of

the products’ high specifications and

their benefits.

High Resolution

The resolution of a screen dictates

the amount of picture information you

will see. The more image data available,

the more detail in the display and the

greater your viewing experience. That’s

why all the widescreen LCD TVs in this

brochure have a minimum panel

resolution of 1280 x 720 (almost 1

million pixels). Potentially each pixel

can display different information,

so enhancing the colour, tone and

ultimately, the three-dimensionality of

the image displayed.

An industry standard for connecting

high definition components, High

Definition Multimedia Interface™

transmits uncompressed digital video

and audio content over a single cable,

replacing the multiple cables required

with analogue AV connections.

As there is no conversion from digital

to analogue and back again (as with a

SCART lead for example), the original

digital quality is upheld.

HD Ready: three high-spec LCD TVs

with high resolution screens, 2x HDMI

and Component Video inputs, plus

integrated digital receivers (p.8)

Insight:

HD Ready: three striking LCD TVs

with high resolution screens and HDMI

input (p.10)

HDMI™ dramatically simplifies home

cinema system installation and offers

numerous additional benefits including PC

compatibility, automatic format adjustment,

as well as automatic configuration of the

system to turn on or off the components

necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD

or watch cable or satellite TV.

Screen Technology

Thanks to Digital TV, DVD and High Definition TV, the audio-visual quality of programmes available
is generally far superior to anything we have experienced in the home before. However, you need
to have the right equipment to enjoy this new level of home entertainment.

As pioneers of DVD and the new HD

DVD technologies, we have shown our

continuing commitment to bringing the

very latest advances in AV technology

into your home for your ultimate

enjoyment. Our latest LCD screens are

packed with image-enhancing

technology such as Active Vision LCD

and Real Digital picture processing, while

our range of DLP™ TVs and projectors

bring the full impact of cinema style

viewing into your living room.

What is Active Vision LCD?

Active Vision is a high performance

picture processing system designed

to produce a stunning picture by

enhancing four core elements of a

television image:

Detail – Active Vision LCD can

reproduce three times more pixels

than a conventional LCD TV.

Colour – Active Vision LCD can

reproduce four times more colour tones

than a conventional LCD TV.

Movement – Using Real Speed

Progressive technology, Active Vision

LCD dramatically reduces jagged

edges on lines and detail during

fast-moving scenes.

Contrast – Active Vision LCD uses a

dynamic contrast enhancer to adjust

contrast levels automatically. While it is

important for an LCD TV to have a high

performance panel, for the best results it

is absolutely essential to have a high

performance picture processing system.

What is Real Digital Picture
Processing?

Real Digital adds yet another dimension

to the picture processing technology by

reducing the number of signal separations

that normally occur in an LCD TV.

Signal processing in current LCD TVs

has to pass through numerous separate

signal conversions before it arrives at

the panel processing chip. This process

dramatically reduces the picture signal

quality of the TV.

Toshiba’s new Real Digital picture

processing reduces the signal

separation stages, therefore

maintaining the original detail of

the signal, and enhancing the

picture performance.

If the HDMI™ interface is used, the

signal is carried directly to the panel

signal processor as a digital signal,

and no picture separation occurs.

Insight: DVD Recorders

A DVD Recorder is little short of the ultimate in digital entertainment versatility. TV, home video, family photos,
music, movies wherever and whenever you want... with a DVD recorder the choice is yours.

20:15 20:30 21:00 21:15

Toshiba’s DVD recorders are multi-

drive so you can choose the media

(disc type) you want to record onto –

integrated hard disk, or removable

DVD-RAM, DVD-RW or DVD-R

(depending on the model).

What is recordable DVD?

A DVD recorder allows you to record,

edit and play back material with

astonishing ease and absolutely no

loss of quality. Before recordable

DVD, if you wanted to record a

programme or home movie, you

were expected to compromise on

quality, with a tape of limited capacity

and susceptible to long-term

deterioration. Not to mention the

hassle of searching for a blank

cassette at the last moment, or the

risk of recording over something you

wanted to keep.

All that has changed. Recordable

DVD offers durable discs of varying

format and capacity capable of

storing great quantities of digital

information for your enjoyment.

A DVD recorder isn’t just about

recording programmes from TV,

or even digital images from

camcorders and cameras. It also

gives you complete control to edit

the bits you want, then archive the

final version on a permanent disc or

give copies to friends.

Which format?

There are several different recording

formats. A DVD recorder records

video and audio optically onto discs.

Discs are available in different formats

and can be either ‘re-writable’ (DVD-

RAM, DVD-RW) or used only once

(DVD-R). A DVD hard disk recorder

offers the added benefit of a built-in

hard disk drive (HDD), as well as a

removable disc option.

Hard Disk Drive

The most obvious benefits of a hard

disk are the capacity* and simple

editing/dubbing capabilities. You can

use the HDD for everyday recordings,

then edit and dub to disc if you want

to keep them or pass them on to

someone else.

(up to 206 hours on the RD-XS64)

*

DVD-RAM

A DVD-RAM disc is ideal for

recordings you want to edit and

archive. The disc may be single or

double-sided and is re-writable up to

100,000 times meaning the content

can be erased and the disc can be

reused with no risk of deterioration in

quality. For added durability, some

DVD-RAM discs are encased in a

plastic caddy, protecting them from

fingerprints and scratches.

The main advantages of DVD-RAM

are the recording and editing

versatility. With the Random Access

Memory (RAM) format, all available

space on a disc can be used,

unwanted sections of programmes

can be simply edited or deleted, and

new recordings made without

accidentally recording over

something you wanted to keep.

DVD-RW

A DVD-RW disc is also re-writable,

up to a maximum of 1,000 times.

However, recording is linear, just like

on a VHS tape, so although

recordings can be deleted and

replaced, they cannot be edited. This

means that there is greater risk of

over-recording and wasted space

than with a DVD-RAM disc.

DVD-R

Like CD-R, a write-once DVD-R

disc can only be used to record once

and the recording cannot be deleted.

The main advantage is that they are

cheap to buy and compatible with

most DVD players, recorders or

DVD drives, making them ideal

for loans to friends and multiple

copying (for example, a wedding

or holiday video).

Timeslip

Now you can make the TV schedule

fit in with your own schedule thanks

to the brilliant Timeslip feature that

gives you the option to ‘Chase’ or

‘Pause’ TV.

Chase TV means you can watch the

start of a programme at any time,

while it is being recorded. For

instance, watch the start of the

Grand Prix before waiting for the end

of the race.

Easy Navi*

With so many features and functions

on our Hard Disk Recorders, it would

be natural to feel daunted at the

prospect of finding your way around.

However, our HDD recorders* feature

a simplified Easy Navi menu option

which gives you easy access to

recordings and key features. Simply

press the Easy Navi button on the

remote control while watching TV or

playing recorded footage to display

the navigation menu on the screen.

From there it’s just one press of the

button to access all the operations

you need to playback, record or edit.

*(RD-XS24).

Hard Disk models also allow you to

pause a live programme at the touch

of a button, then continue from that

point when you are ready.

Meanwhile, you can keep an eye on

the real-time broadcast with the

‘Picture in Picture’ feature which

opens a small picture box showing

the live programme.

The menus are completely intuitive,

aided by thumbnail visuals of

programme content. The recorder

even recognises when a camcorder

is connected, automatically providing

the appropriate on screen menu to

download footage using the

recorder’s remote control.

the appropriate channel for

each recording.

HDMI™ Up Conversion

High Definition displays require a minimum resolution
of 1280x720p. However, existing DVD videos have a
native resolution of 480p. An up conversion DVD player
is capable of upgrading a current DVD‘s resolution to
high resolution 1080i or 720p signals. Therefore, if you
have, or are considering purchasing an HD Ready TV

JPEG, MP3 compatible

in anticipation of forthcoming High Definition
programming (broadcast or HD DVD), a DVD player
with up conversion capability will enable you to view
your existing DVD videos with the higher resolution.
As the up-conversion process is completely digital,
there is no loss of data or quality, as there would be
with a digital-analogue conversion.
