10-bit signal processing
In contrast to conventional 8 or 9-bit circuits, Metz 10-bit
resolution provides added bandwidth and signal quality.
The excellent signal quality produces brilliantly sharp
television pictures, which is invaluable for very dark  lm
scenes.
24p
24p refers to the most common format for cinema  lms
where  lm material is shown at 24 frames per second.
Many Blu-ray discs use the 24p format. In order to be
able to display this on television screens, the signal has
to be converted (via pulldown process) which gives rise
to undesirable side e ects in terms of movement in the
image. This is not necessary in any Metz televisions, as
Metz 24p image processing can be shown directly via
HDMI, without conversion.
100 Hertz
Metz 100 Hertz technology doubles the frame rate of an
LCD TV, which prevents streaking e ects and ensures
that full image sharpness is maintained even during
motion sequences. Combined with dynamic motion
compensation (DMC) (see mecavision HD+), which
adds algorithmically calculated intermediate images,
it achieves optimised motion display with even greater
fluency.
200 Hertz technology
By combining the tried-and-tested technology of dy-
namic motion compensation with LED backlight tech-
nology, Metz is able to achieve a new level of motion
optimisation. On the one hand, the DMC chip calcu-
lates additional motion sequences. On the other, the
LED backlight is switched among four di erent lighting
zones. Known as scanning backlighting, this feature
considerably improves the viewer’s perception of mo-
tion sequences.
A
Anti-aliasing
The intelligent anti-aliasing process developed by Metz
recognises staircasing e ects in diagonally running
edges and lines. These are smoothed out using a special
interpolation technique.
ARC
The audio return channel (ARC) permits direct transmis-
sion of audio signals from a TV transmitter to an external
audio system connected via HDMI, thus reducing the
amount of cabling required.
Audio class-D ampli er
A basic feature of all Metz LCD TVs, the integrated class-
D ampli er boasts a compact design and optimum ef-
fectiveness with exceptional audio performance.
Automatic aspect ratio recognition
Allows the picture to be shown in its correct format,
 lling the screen and yet  tting as many elements as
possible into the frame – for both TV broadcasts and
external image sources.
Automatic station search
Auto-store function with country-speci c sorting func-
tion - can beactivated via the remote control menu.
AV-PIP
Picture-in-picture function for external sources (only
functions with digital sources on some models). Permits
monitoring of video or DVD recorder, for example.
B
Bass reflex system
An enclosed speaker with bass reflex channel ensures
enhanced sound quality with more true-to-life bass and
low frequency reproduction.
C
Centre channel speaker function
Special feature: with Metz LCD TV sets, the integrated
high-quality speaker systems can be used as centre
speakers. An elegant solution for every home cinema
system.
Channel-speci c correction
Each individual TV channel and each external signal
source can be assigned separate values for colour in-
tensity, volume, contrast or sharpness.
CI+
The common interface has been further developed. It
is used to decrypt received DVB data that has been
encrypted in accordance with the CI+ process. The CI+
module is the interface between the encrypted data and
the smartcard that contains the customer-speci c ac-
cess data. All current CI+ enabled Metz televisions are
HD+ compatible.
Cinch audio output
Analogue audio output. Important if you want to connect
the TV to a stereo sound system.
Comb  lter
Separates analogue colour and brightness signals – in
order to achieve purer, more di erentiated colours.
3D comb  lter
An optimised version of the conventional comb  lter.
