HDMI CONNECTIVITY
All Elite PureVision plasma displays
feature a new type of digital input called a
“High Definition Multimedia Interface”,
or HDMI. This high-bandwidth consumer
interface allows huge amounts of very high
quality data — such as uncompressed
HDTV signals — to be input at high rates
of speed, up to 5 GBps. This leaves a lot of
spare capacity for future applications such
as an uncompressed DVD movie, or
DVD-Audio and SACD audio recordings.
Another big advantage of HDMI is its
simplicity. It provides a straight digital
path from point A to point B without
affecting the signal in any way. Plus, it
doesn’t perform unnecessary compression
and re-compression steps, so the signal
remains in a pure, digital state. This
lossless process maintains a higher level
of image quality compared to other
connection systems.
HDMI offers plug and play capability and
accommodates all of the current ATSC
digital television formats. Plus, it supports
up to eight channels of audio. And despite
HDMI’s huge bandwidth power and its
ability to accommodate both audio and
video, the plug itself is user-friendly
and substantially smaller than the comput-
er-based DVI plug. This can be a big
advantage if the shortest distance from
your digital cable box to your plasma
display is straight through a wall.
FROM NTSC TO HIGH
DEFINITION
With all Elite PureVision plasma displays,
you’ll be able to watch NTSC (analog)
broadcasts, plus three types of ATSC
digital broadcasts: Standard-, Enhanced-,
and High-Definition. Because Elite plasma
panels feature true high-definition native
resolution, everything you watch will be
maximized for the highest quality,
whether it’s high-definition or NTSC. In
fact, all Elite panels automatically up-
convert video from any source, including
regular TV, to the panels native resolution.
ISF MODE: CUSTOMIZED
PERFORMANCE FOR
YOUR HOME
Right out of the box, Elite plasma TVs and
monitors deliver an exceptionally vibrant,
detailed picture. And now, these models
offer a way to customize the viewing
experience for your very own home.
Through our relationship with the
renowned Imaging Science Foundation,
Inc. (ISF), all Elite plasma models comply
with the ISFs Custom Calibration
Configuration (C3) standards, enabling
them to be performance-optimized for the
actual room in which they are placed. This
means that your high-definition plasma
can be fine-tuned at a customized level of
calibration that was previously impossible.
Here’s how it works: as an optional service
arranged through your Elite dealer, a
trained professional will calibrate contrast,
tint, sharpness, colour levels, and other
parameters to best fit your exact viewing
environment. Room layout and size,
ambient light (for both day and night
viewing), and other conditions that affect
picture quality are measured and factored
in. The professionals qualified to perform
these calibrations have gone through
extensive ISF-designed training, and they
use sophisticated calibration equipment
and software that meet strict ISF require-
ments. Once the ISF C3 calibrations are
made to your TV, you’ll enjoy unparalleled
picture accuracy customized for your
home. And should you ever want to revert
back to the TV’s original settings after the
set is calibrated, you can. The plasma’s ISF
Mode allows you to toggle back and forth
if you wish.
UNIFORM WIDE
ANGLE VIEWING
Elite plasma panels let you sit almost
anywhere in the room without missing a
pixel. They deliver a consistent, uniform
image whether you’re lying on the floor,
standing off to the side or seated at the end
of your couch. This image uniformity
enables a higher level of colour and bright-
ness compared to rear projection monitors
and LCD panels.
BLACK STRIPE COATING
Thinking of placing your Elite PureVision
plasma panel in a well-lit room? Not a
problem: Pioneer employs a patented
black coating between each row of plasma
cells, absorbing the light hitting the panel.
This reduces reflections coming back to
your viewing position and nearly doubles
the effective contrast. You’ll see blacker
blacks and a more detailed picture,
regardless of light conditions.
