Glossary
AVCHD
AVCHD is a new format (standard) for high definition video 
cameras that can be used to record and play high-resolution 
HD images.
BD-J
Some BD-Video discs contain Java applications, and these 
applications are called BD-J. You can enjoy various interactive 
features in addition to playing normal video.
BD-Live
This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM Profile 2) that supports the new 
functions such as Internet connection, etc. in addition to the 
BONUSVIEW function.
Bitstream
This is the digital form of multi-channel audio data (e.g., 
5.1 channel) before it is decoded into its various channels.
BONUSVIEW (Final Standard Profile)
This is a BD-Video (BD-ROM Profile 1 version 1.1) that 
supports the new functions such as Picture-in-picture and 
Secondary Audio, etc.
DivX
DivX is a popular media technology created by DivX, Inc. DivX 
media files contain highly compressed video with high visual 
quality that maintains a relatively small file size.
DNS Server
A server which acts like a telephone directory and translates 
Internet domain names into IP addresses.
Dolby Digital
This is a method of coding digital signals developed by Dolby 
Laboratories. Apart from stereo (2-channel) audio, these 
signals can also be multi-channel audio.
Dolby Digital Plus
Multi-channel audio and higher audio quality is made possible 
using Dolby Digital Plus. BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel 
output.
Dolby TrueHD
Dolby TrueHD is a very high quality audio format that 
reproduces the studio master audio. BD-Video supports up to 
7.1 channel output.
Down-mixing
This is the process of remixing the multi-channel audio found 
on some discs into fewer channels.
DTS (Digital Theater Systems)
This surround system is used in many movie theaters. There is 
good separation between the channels, so realistic sound 
effects are possible.
DTS-HD
DTS-HD is a high-quality, sophisticated audio format used in 
movie theaters. Previous DTS Digital Surround-compatible 
equipment can play DTS-HD as DTS Digital Surround audio. 
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio
This is a signal format achieved by improving the previous 
DTS, DTS-ES and DTS 96/24 formats. It is compatible with 
sampling frequency 96 kHz/48 kHz. BD-Video supports up to 
7.1 channel output. DTS-HD Master Audio
This is a lossless audio format and compatible with 96 kHz/
7.1ch or less. In addition, faithful reproduction of the master 
audio is enabled using lossless audio encoding technology. 
BD-Video supports up to 7.1 channel output.
Dynamic range
Dynamic range is the difference between the lowest level of 
sound that can be heard above the noise of the equipment and 
the highest level of sound before distortion occurs.
Dynamic range compression means reducing the gap between 
the loudest and softest sounds. This means you can listen at 
low volumes but still hear dialog clearly.
Film and video
DVD-Video are recorded using either film or video. This unit 
can determine which type has been used, then uses the most 
suitable method of progressive output.
Folder
This is a place on the  media where groups of data are stored 
together. Additional folders can be created within folders, and 
you can make detailed classifications depending on the folder 
structure. (
>43)
Frames and fields
Frames refer to the single images that constitute the video you 
see on your television. Each frame consists of two fields.
≥ A frame still shows two fields, so there may be some blurring, 
but picture quality is generally better.
≥ A field still shows less picture information so it may be 
rougher, but there is no blurring.
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface)
HDMI is a digital interface for consumer electronic products. 
Unlike conventional connections, it transmits uncompressed 
digital video and audio signals on a single cable.
Hub
Used for connecting more than one device to the network.
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) Film: Recorded at 24 frames per second. (Recorded at 30 
frames per second as well). Generally appropriate for 
motion picture films.
Video: Recorded at 30 frames/60 fields per second.  Generally appropriate for TV drama programs or 
animation.

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.
P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD)
This is a processor which makes use of an exclusive 
Panasonic algorithm. Various processing is supported, 
including a high-level conversion of the TV scanning format 
from interlace to progressive and a high-level conversion of 
standard resolution (480i or 576i) video signal to a 1080 High 
Definition video signal.
Consequently, this unit is able to provide video of optimal 
resolution to the connected TV.
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.
USB (Universal Serial Bus)
An interface specification to connect peripherals. Playback of 
MP3, JPEG or DivX recorded to a USB device by PC or other 
equipment, or JPEG in the Panasonic digital camera or similar 
connected via USB connection cable is possible with this unit.
VIERA CAST™
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™
x.v.Color™ 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™ with HDMI cable.
1080i
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
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. 
24p
This is a progressive image recorded at a rate of 24 frames per 
second (motion-picture film). Many BD-Video movie contents 
are recorded in 24 frames/second in accordance with the film 
materials.
720p
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.
