Panasonic DMR-BWT800
HD Blu-ray Recorder
Advanced 2D image technology accumulated over the years at the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory (PHL) has also been applied to 3D image playback, allowing high quality images to approach original film quality. Lifelike 3D images with dramatic leaping effects and enhanced depth, lustre and texture are beautifully reproduced.
Adaptive Chroma Processing is a high quality image-processing technology developed to precisely process each pixel of the Blu-ray Disc™ video signal in vertical and horizontal directions. Compared with 2010 models, vertical colour data processing has been increased by 1.5 times. This allows Adaptive Chroma Processing to faithfully reproduce colour data.
VIERA CAST with Skype lets you enjoy real-time visual communication on a large screen with faraway family and friends by displaying their images on the TV. The Blu-ray Disc™ players also feature a convenient and unique Auto Answering Video Message function. Let Panasonic's Skype-compatible players expand your range of communication from the living room to the world.
The 2D-3D Conversion makes it possible to convert images from DVDs and Blu-ray™ discs into 3D with natural depth perception. So you can watch your prize DVD movie collection in 3D for greater viewing enjoyment. Even more, the AVCHD movie files recorded with HD Camcorders can also be converted from 2D to 3D. *Except for 1080/60p,1080/50p movie files recorded with Panasonic HD Camcorder.
One output can be dedicated to an audio signal output. The Twin HDMI function achieves better sound quality and matches the needs of the users who want to customise their cinema system with legacy* audio equipment. *Legacy audio equipment refers to audio systems that are not compatible with 3D content.
