Panasonic VIERA G10 Series

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 15:02:22 -0500

The VIERA G10 Series is part of Panasonic's line of high-end plasmas that contain all the high-end technologies introduced in 2009. This line is one step below the V10 Series and offers all the same features as the more expensive model, with the only difference coming in the thicker cabinet design. In fact, the G10, V10 and Z1 Series all contain the same basic features with the major difference coming in design thickness. These sets use Panasonic's NeoPDP technology which Panasonic claims offers substantially improved picture improvements from the 2008 models through a much higher static contrast ratio, and faster response rate for 1080 lines of motion resolution. Furthermore, Panasonic has expanded the VIERACast Internet connectivity to partner with Amazon's Video OnDemand feature.

Z1, V10 and G10 Series Features

THX Certification - first introduced with the 2008 PZ800 line of HDTVs, Panasonic partners up with THX in 2009 to certify these television series, and add their specially calibrated picture mode for more accurate film settings.

VIERA Image Viewer - using the TV's built-in SD card slot you can view stored JPEG pictures directly on the TV without any intermediary devices or hardware. For 2009 Panasonic introduces AVCHD video support for displaying any movies found on the SD Card.

NeoPDP - this is Panasonic's marketing name for their new plasma technology introduced in 2009. Specifically, Panasonic claims that they focused on improving black levels, contrast ratio, and motion resolution.

Black levels are notoriously important to videophiles and are something that plasmas do better with compared to LCDs. With the NeoPDP tech, Panasonic is looking to take Pioneer's claim of blackest black. Alongside the darker blacks is the higher contrast ratio with the native contrast ratio of 40,000:1 being one of the best that Panasonic has claimed.

The "full 1080 lines of motion resolution" means that when there is action going on in the video, the TV is able to display all the content accurately. This is a subtle point, because most people think 1080p means 1080 lines of resolution; however, most TVs released before 2009 while claiming 1080p resolution didn't actually display all 1080 lines of resolution when there was activity on the screen. This full motion resolution should result in a crisper picture than found on previous Panasonic displays.

VIERA Cast - using the television's built-in ethernet port you can connect the TV to the Internet and access Panasonic's proprietary content service. Introduced in 2008 VIERA Cast offered news, weather, and stocks. In 2009 Panasonic has expanded the service to include digital media streaming from sites such as YouTube and Picasa, alongside access to Amazon's Video On Demand service.

G10, S1 and X1 Series Features

Game Mode - this display setting turns off all of the TVs image processing functions to reduce any lag between controller input and the game's display.

Features found on all 2009 Panasonic VIERAs

VIERA Link - this is the marketing name given to Panasonic's implementation of the HDMI-CEC standard, which lets you control your other compatible home theater equipment directly from your TV. Each manufacturer has their own branded name for this technology since only home theater devices from the same manufacturers are compatible with one another for direct control.

Models

The naming convention for this line is: Panasonic VIERA TC-PxxG10 where xx is replaced by the TV size.

Panasonic HDC-HS900

Mon, 10 Jan 2011 17:37:52 -0500

The Panasonic HDC-HS900 is a high-end camcorder. This camcorder is equipped with an Eco Mode, which automatically turns off the power when the camcorder is not operated for five minutes. The manual ring of the HDC-HS900 offers accurate video expression, reflecting a delicate response to the motions of your fingertips. The 20x zoom of this camcorder features Intelligent Zoom, which corrects the image degradation that occurs in ordinary digital zooming. The five internal microphones of the HDC-HS900 allow for 5.1 recording. This means that when audio recorded from front, right, left and back are played on a 5.1 channel home theater system, the result is a full, detailed sound. This camcorder is equipped with iA (Intelligent Auto), a feature that automatically selects the most suitable shooting mode at the press of a button. This function includes Face Recognition, which finds the faces of registered people (up to six faces can be registered) and optimizes the focus and exposure, tracking the subject as they move anywhere within the LCD frame. With its 3CMOS sensor (which operates with 7.59 million effective pixels), this camcorder can capture full HD 1080/60p video at 1920 x 1080 resolution. The 46mm F1.5 Leica Dicomar lens of the HDC-HS900 helps to produce bright images while cutting back ghost and flare. The Crystal Engine Pro processor instantly processes images with defined detail. The optical image stabilizer helps to ensure that you will not have images blurred from camera shake. This camcorder differs from the lower cost HDC-TM900 model in that it has a 220GB hard drive disc (as opposed to 32GB of internal memory). This is also what sets it apart from the lower cost HDC-SD900 and HDC-SD800 models, which have no built-in memory at all (the SD800 also lacks the manual ring and Dolby Digital Creator of the 900s). The Panasonic HDC-HS900 camcorder is capable of capturing 3D, with the add-on of a CLT1 conversion lens.

Fast-paced content like live sports and action movies can be significantly improved by enabling the 600Hz Sub-field Drive feature, a technology that converts material into dots for shorter individual frame displays and reduced overall blur. Device learning curve is minimized with the help of the VIERA Tools UI, a software component that provides users with on-screen illustrations to better explain the functions of the TC-42PX34's remote and menu elements. Due to the television's low-power, high-quality design, users can expect up to 100,000 hours (approximately 30 years) of use before a noticeable chance in picture quality can be noted.
