High Definition Video

Standard definition (SD) is a resolution of 576 x 480. This refers to the number

of pixels – or dots of colour – on the screen (576 columns x 480 rows).

High definition is a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1920 columns x 1080 rows).

The higher the resolution means that the picture contains more detail and is

therefore clearer than the same image in standard definition.

The higher the resolution of an image, the more storage space that image needs

on a disc. This is why Blu-ray is ideal for high definition (see below).

Jagged edges

Clearer Picture

Do I need a full-HD television to view high definition?

To get the full benefit of high definition, a full-HD television is needed.

If you have an HD-ready television, even though you won’t see full high definition

images, you will still benefit from high definition. The original image is of high

definition resolution so the television must downscale the picture to fit the

screen. But because the image is HD quality, the picture that you see from Blu-

ray will be clearer and sharper than a picture from DVD.

Why Blu-ray?

High Storage Capacity

The Blu-ray Disc (BD) is an optical disc format that was created to meet the

needs of high-definition video by storing a huge amount of data.

The Blu-ray Disc has the same dimensions as CD and DVD, but it features

an amazing data storage capacity.

While a DVD stores up to 4.7 GB (gigabytes) of data on one side, the Blu-ray

Disc can hold as much as 25 GB on a single side, giving it more than five

times the storage capacity.

Because each recording layer of a single-side, dual-layer Blu-ray Disc is

capable of storing 25 GB of data, the total capacity is an astonishing 50 GB

per disc. In other words, one Blu-ray Disc can store as much data as ten

DVDs.

http://panasonic.net/blu-ray/technology/.

High Quality Surround Sound

The BD-Video disc optionally supports next-

generation surround sound formats like Dolby

Digital Plus. Connecting the Blu-ray recorder

to an AV center using an HDMI cable (ver. 1.1

and newer) makes it possible to reproduce

high-quality 7.1-channel surround sound,

delivering a surround sound experience that

rivals the quality of the master audio source.

Interactive Functions with BD-J

Some BD-Video discs are equipped with an extended function based

on Java™ technology, called BD-J, to provide various interactive

features. For example, this can be used to program various

operations, such as displaying a pop-up menu while playing a BD-

Video disc, and activating a keyword search. With unlimited

application possibilities, BD-J offers interactive enjoyment that is

simply not possible with conventional AV software.

BD-Live

BD-Live* lets users access the Internet to download data such as images and

subtitles, and join in quizzes and multi-player interactive games that are linked to

bonus materials on BD-Live-enabled Blu-ray Disc™. BD-Live also supports

BONUSVIEW.

* BD-ROM Profile 2 (BD-Live features include BONUSVIEW functions.) Requires broadband Internet

service for a fee.

Why should I buy an HD recorder?

record over 140 digital TV channels, with no monthly bills. freesat also

offers the UK’s first free high definition service. freesat is available in

most locations in the UK, even those that cannot receive Freeview. For

surround sound from a Blu-ray disc playback (output via HDMI).

programme setting. Two tuners enable the recording of two separate

programmes at the same time, independently of the TV’s tuners. Its

even possible to replay a recording previously recorded on the HDD or

replay a BD/DVD while recording two programmes. This is one of the

most versatile playback and recording devices on the market!

Multi-Format Drives

The BD models are equipped with a BD recording drive that can record

on and replay the most common formats of BD and DVD Disc,

including RAM discs. The XS350 records and replays all types of DVD

disc, including RAM discs.

SD Card Slot (with HD AVCHD Playback)

HDD and burned to disc.
