Our Hollywood Cinema Experience, or HCX, picture processor is now inside our new UHD Blu-ray Players. Our years of picture know-how & collaboration with Hollywood studios*, are captured in this chip to deliver precise colour and picture definition.
Our new Ultra HD Blu-ray players support multiple HDR formats, such as HDR10 – the standard format for films and UHD Blu-ray discs. They now also support HDR10+ playback with dynamic metadata, while the UB820 is compatible with Dolby Vision too. All models support Hybrid Log-Gamma as well.
Our original image processing technologies achieve HDR images with higher definition than before. Tone mapping is used to adjust the brightness level of the content. And even HDR images from ordinary HDR10 and TV footage, which do not support special new formats like HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, provide optimal playback.
Technology from Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, the base for Blu-ray Disc Research & Development, are applied to our unique 4K High Precision Chroma Processing. 4K image colour signals (4:2:0) are interpolated into 4K (4:4:4) by a multi-tap chroma process, for natural texture and depth.
This model is designed for high-resolution audio reproduction. In addition to the conventional WAV/FLAC/MP3/AAC/WMA/AIFF formats, DSD (5.6 MHz/2.8 MHz/11.2MHz) and ALAC music files can be reproduced. Simply connect to your home audio system to enjoy music sources equivalent to studio master sound quality.
