CES 2008: IPTV Plasma by Panasonic

Techtree News Staff, Jan 09, 2008 1809 hrs IST

These IP enabled televisions also offer virtual one-click access to YouTube and Picasa Web Albums using the Viera Cast technology.

A first in the industry, Panasonic has previewed an IPTV Plasma under Viera PZ850 series at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) 2008.

IPTV provides access to online content directly from the television using the Viera Cast technology.

The Viera full HD 1080p PZ850 series features four models -- the 46-inch class TH-46PZ850, the 50-inch class TH-50PZ850, the 58-inch class TH-58PZ850 and the 65-inch class TH-65PZ850.

The PZ850 series features a Pro Setting Menu that allows consumers to access professional calibration software; native resolution contrast ratio of 30,000:1 and a dynamic ratio of 1,000,000:1; Digital Cinema Color Re-Mastering; 24p native reproduction; Game Mode; an SD memory Card slot; RS-232C connection; four HDMI connections; increased luminous efficiency; lead free panels; 100,000 hours to half brightness and a PC input.

To further expand on the capabilities of the SD Card, the PZ850 features H.264 codec to support HD video recording of HD camcorders equipped with the H.264 codec.

The game mode minimizes the time lag when displaying game images on the Plasma screen by synchronizing the response of the game image to the player's operation, the company said.

Being an IPTV enabled plasma, Panasonic has also tied up with Google to offer virtual one-click access to YouTube and Picasa Web Albums directly from the PZ850 series.

The Panasonic Viera PZ850 series Plasma is expected to be available in spring 2008.
