Panasonic Model DMP-BD30K
Blu-ray Disc™ Player with SD Card Slot, Final Standard Profile, Precise Digital Audio & Video and UniPhier™ Technology
Blu-ray with a Difference
Blu-ray means incredible full-HD images, breathtaking sound and 5x the data capacity of DVDs. Now Blu-ray means something else too:
an entirely new movie-viewing experience, made possible by Final Standard Profile, which adds features never seen before, like four
Picture-in-Picture modes including Enhanced Commentary (from directors and actors), Backstage Pass, Peek Behind the Animation and Audio
Mixing.
Images So Real, You Feel Like You're in the Picture
Combining a PHL Reference Chroma Processor with advanced P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing) imaging technology,
UniPhier® — the Precise Digital Video processor — reproduces crisp, natural colors that are extremely faithful to the original movie. It does
this by up-sampling the color information in decoded video signals, while the super high-speed P4HD up-converts content recorded in 480i/p,
720p or 1080i format to 1080p by correctly generating each pixel according to information drawn from up to 60 surrounding pixels. The image
motion of each pixel is then categorized into one of 16 levels, from stationary to super fast. Image quality is further enhanced by Diagonal
Processing, which creates smooth, sharp diagonal lines, and 3:2 Pull-Down, which optimizes the processing accordingly for film or video making
the images look natural and lifelike. In addition, the DMP-BD30's HDMI output is Deep Color compatible, with 4,096 steps of gradation for even
smoother, finer-quality images that meet Hollywood's stringent demands, so you can experience movies just the way they were meant to be
experienced.
Incredible Sound Completes the Hi-Def Experience
With Precise Digital Audio, Blu-ray's beautiful images are complemented by exceptionally pure, accurate sound thanks to Dolby® TrueHD and
DTS-HD™. UniPhier®'s advanced processing capability decodes these audio signals with high precision and outputs them in bitstream form with
no degradation. It also brings re-mastering to Blu-ray for the first time, which compensates for data lost during the compression process creating
a fuller, richer sound.
HD Networking with SD Card
The convenient SD card slot on the DMP-BD30 allows easy viewing of hi-def videos and photos on your HDTV. Videos shot with a Panasonic HD
camcorder are output in their original 1920x1080 resolution, while still images taken with a Panasonic Lumix® digital camera are up-converted and
output in 1920x1080 resolution.1
One-Touch Control from Your TV's Remote
With EZ Sync™ HDAVI Control, you can control your Blu-ray Disc™ player — and all your home theater components — with your TV's remote.2
Simply press the EZ Sync™ button and select "BD Player" on the menu screen; the BD player's menu will be displayed and you can begin playback.
1JPEG and other still image sources converted to 1920x1080 resolution, while of high quality, will exhibit somwehat lower subjective image resolution than true, native 1080p full-HD sources.
