Panasonic TH-50PHD30BX
50-Inch (diagonal) High Definition Plasma Display
	Panasonic Plasma Display is leading a revolution in visual image technology. Our newly developed Real Black Drive System and Advanced Plasma AI technologies combine to achieve the industry's brightest picture and highest contrast. With razor-sharp pictures and vivid, natural colour on a wide screen, the Plasma Display brings tremendous impact to business, communications, entertainment, and public display applications ' And, of course, it comes with Panasonic's reowned quality and reliability. Business communications is changing - and the new Panasonic Plasma Display is lighting the way.

Advanced Digital Processing

Real Black Drive System

Panasonic's original Real Black Drive System delivers a significant improvement in black reproduction. Conventional plasma displays tend to illuminate blacks, which lowers the contrast. In Panasonic plasma displays, however, the predischarge emission intensity is greatly reduced, and the number of emissions per field is cut from the usual 12 to 1. This dramatically reduces black levels and provides deeper, richer blacks. It also achieves the industry's highest contrast, with 3000:1 contrast ratio

Advanced Plasma AI (Adaptive Brightness Intensifier)

Panasonic's unique Advanced Plasma AI increases the discharge cycles for dark cycles for dark scenes, and produces extremely precise control of the brightness level.

The result is an unprecedented brightness (panel) of 500cd/m2 for the TH-50PHD30.

Panasonic plasma display greatly expands the dynamic range of all images, from black to white peak. You get pictures that are exceptionally sharp, natural looking. and bright.
Improved Moving Pictures

Panasonic plasma display provides smooth, natural-looking moving pictures with excellent detail thanks to greatly improved precision in the FalseEdge Predictor circuit. This circuit identifies areas where a moving picture is subject to degradation and dramatically reduces the picture noise there.

3 Dimensional Progressive Scan

This function turns the interlaced signals used in present broadcasts into the progressive scan signals for optimal performance in the dot matrix system of plasma displays.

Our 3 Dimensional Progressive Scan extracts the interpolated pixel data with the highest correlation from a total of 10 lines of image information for three fields (the present field and the fields before and after). This greatly decreases the blurry motion that tends to occur with conventional systems, giving you clear, natural moving pictures.
Flicker-Free Pictures

Panasonic plasma display is able to display all input video signals in progressive format. This results in flicker-free pictures that are easy on the eyes.

Asymmetrical Cell Structure Panel

Panasonic plasma display employs a panel with a unique asymmetrical cell structure that achieves both high brightness and crisp whites - a combination not possible with previous systems.

The asymmetrical arrangement of the red, blue and green cells that control colour reproduction results in a dramatically improved light-emitting balance of the three primary colours. This reproduces purer whites while maintaining a high lvel of brightness. The use of a wavelength-selective filter on the front panel and new green phosphors also expands the range of colour reproduction, resulting in rich, natural colour expression.

Multimedia Display UXGA Compatible

To assure compatibility with various PC Display modes up to UXGA, Panasonic plasma display automatically switches the scanning frequency to match the input signal. It offers a horizontal scanning rate of 15.6 kHz up to a very high 110 kHz, and a vertical scanning rate of 48 kHZ to 120 Hz.

The TH50PHD30BX features ultra-high resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and can display VGA, SVGA and XGA as well as down-converted SXGA and UXGA modes.

DVI Connection (Optional for TH50PHD30BX)

The TH-50PHD30BX can be equipped with an optional DVI terminal board for direct digital input of RGB signals. DVI connection minimises the data transfer distortion and sync problems that are common in conventional analog transfers. It also elimintates the need for tedious picture adjustments.

Slot-Type Terminal Boards

Panasonic plasma display features a slot-type interface for easy expandability. The slot accepts a variety of optional terminal boards for a wide range of input sources, from composite video, S-video and component video signals to DVI direct RGB digital signals.

Quiet Operation

We increased the panel's heat radiation efficiency, eliminating the need for a fan. This "silence engineering" gives you the kind of quiet operation that makes for a more pleasant viewing experience.

Carrying Handle

Panasonic plasma display is equipped with functional carrying handles on the rear side. You can move and install the display unit with the minium of effort.

Screen Savers

Select from a total of three savers to minise the risk of uneven phosphor aging. The White Bar Scroll is designed for ordinary still-imge displays, Screen Reversal is for text-screen displays, and Side Panel Adjustments is for 4:3 mode images. All three can be started up in manual mode, or they can be set to automatically start/stop at preset times in timer mode or for preset periods in interval mode.

RS232C Control

Operation can be controlled by a personal computer via the plasma display's bulit-in RS232C interface. This serial interface makes it possible to control a variety of sources as a single system.

Set-Up Functions for Easier Professional Use

On-Screen Display Off:

Initial Input Set:

Maximum Volume Set:

Prevents the volume from exceeding the set level

Fixed Input Selection:

"Locks" the input setting (video, component video, RGB, PC) so it cannot be inadvertently switched.

Restricted Button Operation:

Disables the front panel buttons (volume, input) Either buttons, or both, can be disabled.

Studio W/B:

Sets colour temperature for camera temperaturte (3200K).

On/Off Timer Set:

Automatically turns the power on or off at preset times.

Remote Control User Level Set:

Restricts the operation of the remote control. You can select User1, which allows only basic operations, or User 2, which allows only powr on/off.
