Cabinet Design
Panasonic’s advanced PDP production
technology made it possible to reduce the
plasma panel glass thickness from 2.8 mm (0.1”)
to 1.8 mm (0.07”). This reduces overall weight by
up to 15% compared with previous models,
making installation easier than ever. Using less
glass ,benefits the environment, too. With the
exception of the 37”, they can be positioned
vertically to display portrait images, allowing
them to serve as effective storefront signboards.
There’s no need to install an optional fan kit.
Remote System Monitoring
In addition to the conventional display control command and power supply/input selection
check command, the displays feature a new monitor command that lets you check the signal
from a distant location. In conventional systems, you had to install a monitoring camera to
check the images displayed on an advertising display panel or digital signage system. The
monitor command, on the other hand, lets you monitor images by simply connecting a PC via
a serial cable.
Multi-Screen Applications
Built-in image-enlarging function makes it easier to set up multi-screen systems with as many as
16 displays (4x4 configuration). A new function lets you enlarge the image up to 4x vertically and
horizontally independently, making it easy to set up a multi-screen system with up to four
displays arranged either vertically or horizontally. For example, expand the image horizontally to
4x and leave it unchanged vertically, and you can create a system with four units side-by-side.
Thanks to the ID control function, you can use the standard remote control unit to control up to
100 panels individually. PH series models feature a Power-On Delay function that’s useful in
multi-screen systems. This function automatically shifts the power-on time slightly for each
display unit in the system, so there’s less load on the power supply. There is also a mode that
displays a full-screen image, including the edges (the width of the frame) of the display panel.
This is especially suitable for displaying text information, since no words are hidden by the frame.
Enhanced
Screen Saver Functions
◆ A variety of screen saver functions help
minimize the risk of uneven phosphor aging.
You can also use the timer to set the screen
saver operating cycles, operating time, and
start and stop times. This lets you make
settings that match your application.
— White Bar Scroll: White bars move across the
screen from left to right at regular intervals.
Good for ordinary still-image displays.
— Screen Reversal: Displays images with black
and white reversed. Good for text displays.
— Side Panel Adjustment: Brightens the black
bands on the sides of the screen when
displaying images in the 4:3 format.
— Wobbling: Shifts the image’s position by
several pixels at fixed time intervals.
— Peak Limit Mode: Lowers the peak
brightness level (image contrast) by 30%.
Energy-Saving Functions
◆ A broad range of environment-friendly
functions help minimize energy consumption.
— DPMS (Display Power Management
Signaling): Power is automatically turned on
or off in response to a sync signal from
a PC connected to the built-in PC input
terminal.
— Auto Power Off: When you’re using a device
connected to the multi-function slots, the
display panel goes into standby mode after
10 minutes if no sync signal is received.
— Power Save Mode: Reduces the display’s
brightness.
— Standby Power Save Mode: Reduces power
consumption when on standby.
Additional Features
◆ The Sound Menu gives you a choice of three
sound settings (Standard/Dynamic/Clear) to
best match the kind of input source.
◆ Panasonic’s “silence engineering” eliminates
the need for a fan — and fan noise — giving
you the kind of quiet operation that makes
for a more pleasant viewing experience.
◆ 4x Digital Zoom lets you enlarge a portion
of an image by up to 4x normal size and
display it on the full screen. Use this function
to give your presentations greater impact.
