GLOSSARY
Glossary
Digital Television
Digital Television (DTV) broadcasts are available in at least 10 major U.S. markets.
Broadcasts will be in both high definition (HDTV) and standard definition (SDTV). The
HDTV signal formats are 1080i (interlaced scan) and 720p (progressive scan). SDTV
signal formats are 480i and 480p.
HDTV-Compatible
(1080i/720p)
HDTV-compatible TV models process and display the high definition output from a
DTV Set-top Box (STB) at 1080i (interlaced) or 720p (progressive) lines. When 1080i
or 720p HDTV is available in your viewing area, your TV will be compatible when
using a Panasonic DTV-STB, model TU-DST50 or TU-DST51.
SDTV-Compatible
(480p/480i)
SDTV-compatible TV models process and display the standard definition output with
the use of a Panasonic DTV-STB at 480 lines, interlaced or progressive scan. When
DTV programming is available, you can view it in the standard format, 4:3 aspect
ratio.
DTV Compatibility
of PT-56WXF95
This TV is capable of displaying both 1080i and 720p HDTV signals as well as
the 480p/480i SDTV signals using a Panasonic DTV-STB, model TU-DST50
or
TU-DST51. In order to view DTV programming, the STB must be connected to the TV
by component video (Y, PB, PR)and audio inputs. A DTV signal must be available in
your area and the DTV-STB must be tuned to the proper channel.
Color
Matrix Adjustment
When viewing DTV programming from a DTV-STB, this TV automatically adjusts the
color parameters for 1080i, 720p and 480p transmissions. However, when viewing a
nonstandard DTV signal format, you can change the color parameters manually in the
Roller Guide PICTURE Menu for best picture quality.
Progressive
Scan
Progressive scan de-interlaces the incoming 480i signal and progressively scans the
image. This allows you to sit very close to the TV and not see the thin black horizontal
scan lines (venetian blind effect) associated with an interlaced picture.

Asked
Questions
About
Digital
TV
TV (DTV)?
In April, 1997, the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) announced that, by
2006, all television broadcasting will be digital. Digital TV broadcasting delivers
crystal-clear pictures, approaching the quality of 35mm movies and CD (compact disc)
sound.
Digital broadcasts include both High Definition Television (HDTV) and
Standard Definition Television (SDTV).
Broadcasters may choose their own
broadcast formats.
HDTV (High Definition Television)
One form of digital broadcasting is HDTV, which provides the highest resolution
picture. Besides incredible picture, the sound will be available in the 5.1 channel
surround sound.
SDTV (Standard Definition Television)
Another form of digital broadcasting is SDTV, which provides lower resolution, but still
presents a very sharp, clear picture. Lower resolution allows broadcasters to transmit
more than one program per channel.
When will TV stations
start
broadcasting
digital
signals?
Television stations are required to continue broadcasting regular TV signals along
side the digital signals until 2006. Cable TV and satellite TV are not affected by this
FCC ruling.
All stations are required to become digital by 2006. This will be an evolutionary
process. According to the FCC, digital broadcasting must be available in the top ten
markets, covering 30% of households by May 1999. By the end of 1999, digital
broadcasting must be available in the top 30 markets, covering 50% of households.
Will
I be able
to adapt
my current
TV to receive
digital
broadcasts?
Manufacturers will offer a digital TV set-top box (DTV-STB) which will allow current
televisions to display digitally broadcast programs. The picture and sound quality will
be about the same as small dish digital satellite systems today.
Conventional televisions (non-digital televisions) will not be able to display the HDTV
resolution quality or sound.
What
digital formats
will broadcasters
use?
There are presently four DTV formats: 1080i (interlaced), 720p (progressive), 480i
and 480p. The higher numbers indicate a higher resolution picture.
In an interlaced picture, the odd numbered lines (picture information) are scanned first
creating field 1 and then the even numbered lines are scanned, creating field 2. The
two fields are then interlaced to provide the entire image (one frame). This process
happens in
1/30 th
of a second and is invisible to the human eye.
scanning, all lines in the entire frame are scanned sequentially in
1/60 th
In progressive
of a second.
Broadcasters may choose to transmit different levels of resolution throughout the day,
broadcasting day programs in SDTV and night sports and movies in HDTV.
