Weekly Command Timer
This function makes it easy to automate display operation so there's
no need for an external scheduler. You can set a variety of operations
— power on/off, image source selection, screen saver functions and
more — to activate at specific times on specific days of the week.
Automatic Picture Positioning
Simply press the Auto Setup key on the remote control to position the
picture. This function automatically corrects horizontal and vertical
picture positions, clock phase, and dot clock when an analogue RGB
signal is selected as input. The adjustment results in optimal
standard values for horizontal and vertical picture sizes.
If the dot clock frequency is 162 MHz (for PF Series; 108 MHz for PH Series) or higher,
DOT CLOCK and CLOCK PHASE cannot be made.
When digital RGB signal input, DOT CLOCK and CLOCK PHASE cannot be made.
Auto Power Off
The Auto Power Off function automatically turns off the display power
when the screen saver operation ends.
Extended Life Settings
It's easy to make settings that extend the display life because all
items that prevent image retention are grouped into a single menu.
There's also a menu that allows you set the recommended values
with a single operation.
Energy-Saving Functions

Included Remote Control Unit
Remote System Monitoring
Panasonic pro plasma displays feature a 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.
This monitor command, on the other hand, lets you monitor images
by simply connecting a PC via a serial cable.
Tamper-Resistant Settings
You can prevent operating errors in public places by making tamper-
resistant settings in advance.
• Maximum volume level: Sets the maximum sound volume.
• Button lock: Restricts the button operations for the display.
• Remote user level: Restricts the key operations for the remote
control.
Audio Input Select
The video and audio input can each be independently selected. This
makes it possible to achieve flexible combinations of images and
sounds.

Blend Dual Picture Function
The Blend Dual Picture function overlays text information produced
with a PC onto base motion images. This function makes it easy to
produce subtitles without requiring expensive editing equipment.
And because the text data is displayed in full-HD image quality,
corporate or brand images can be effectively presented in high
resolution.
• Please note that using this function to process images without the permission of the
copyright holder for commercial display or for public viewing may infringe upon the rights
of the copyright holder.
• With the PF12 Series, analogue signal combinations cannot be displayed.
Signal combinations are also limited with the PF20 Series.
4x Digital Zoom
This function lets you enlarge a portion of an image up to four times
its normal size and display it on the full screen. This function can
help give presentations greater impact.
• Digital Zoom does not work in Multi Display or Dual Picture mode.
• Some degradation occurs when images are enlarged.
Dual Picture Mode
You can simultaneously display images from any two different AV
sources connected. And you can select the audio output from either
source. Playing back the audio from the sub-source can be useful in
teleconferencing.
• Portrait Zoom, Multi Display or Digital Zoom function does not work in Dual Picture mode.
• With the PF12 Series, analogue signal combinations cannot be displayed.
Signal combinations are also limited with the PF20 Series.
Advanced Dual Picture Mode
This mode lets you overlay a video image onto a full-screen PC
image. You are now able to combine a video clip with any text
information from a PC, giving you a more effective way to present
important messaging.
• With the PF12 Series, analogue signal combinations cannot be displayed.
Signal combinations are also limited with the PF20 Series.
Picture Profiles
The picture adjustment values set using the Picture menu and
advanced settings can be stored in the display's memory as profiles.
Up to eight combinations can be stored, and the preferred profile can
be selected to match the video source being used.
1:1 Pixel Mode
The 1:1 Pixel mode maps the 1920 x 1080 video content to Full HD
panel pixels to display 100% of the original content. By skipping the
scaling process, this mode is able to produce high-definition images
in their original, 1:1 pixel form.
* Compatible signal format: 1,125/50i, 60i, 24sF, 24p, 25p, 30p, 50p, 60p, 1,250/50i
Monitor Mode
This mode displays images without changing the brightness within
the same signal level range, even if the average picture level (APL) of
the screen varies. Since this mode maintains white balance
regardless of the size of bright areas in the image, it is suitable for
use in broadcast stations and image production studios in which
precise colour reproduction is required.
Display Size Setting
displays video signals so that the top, bottom,
right and left screen edges that are usually
cut off become visible.
Studio W/B Mode
lets you set the color temperature to best
match the applications in broadcast stations
and studios.
Studio Gain Mode
increases the contrast to eliminate whiteout.
Screen Burn Reduction
Screen Saver Functions
A variety of screen saver functions help lower the risk of uneven
phosphor aging. The timer can also be used to set the screen saver
operating time.
OVERLAY SCROLLING BAR The image brightness will be decreased and a white bar will
scroll over it.
SCROLLING BAR ONLY A white bar will scroll from left to right. The image will not be
