The professional-grade engine features 10-bit processing with YUV 4:4:4 for each channel.
By faithfully reproducing all of the colour and luminance signals output by image sources,
it produces smooth, vibrant colours across the entire screen.

The Wide Colour Gamut Panel Reproduces
Colours That Professional Applications Demand
The BT300 Series offers superb images with stunning
colours for displaying materials in all their natural
beauty. Six modes are provided, including the colour
gamut modes for broadcasting and post-production
use including (SMPTE-C/EBU/BT.709) and Digital
Cinema Colour and Native. Custoum mode allows you
to set the hue for each RGB colour while viewing a
simplified chroma diagram.

Superb Moving Picture Resolution
The BT300 Series provides a motion-image performance that is 1.5 times*
1
that of
conventional models. The Full-HD moving picture resolution speed index is 1,200 pps*
2
(1,080 lines of moving picture resolution*
3
). This treats viewers to steady, blur-free,
fast-moving images such as in sports scenes and action films.

*2: This is a new motion-image performance index that was announced by the Advanced PDP Display
Development Centre Corporation (APDC) on January 27, 2011, as an advanced version of the conventional
moving-picture resolution index. It expresses the ability to display motion images in Full-HD resolution based
on the speed at which an image moves (the number of pixels that move per second).

performance that was developed by the Advanced PDP Development Centre Corporation (APDC). With Moving

Bi-level Drive Technology* Smoothly Displays Dark Areas
Improving the luminous efficiency of the panel
has achieved steady illumination even with a
small electrical discharge. By reducing the
minimum unit of brightness per flash by 1/2
compared to previous panels, this makes it
possible to display finer gradation steps.
Smoother tonal expression is gained in dark
areas thanks to a total of 12,288 steps, twice
the number of our conventional models
(compared with the PF20 Series).

Clear 3D Images with Virtually No Double Images
Pursuit of even faster panel response in the BT300 Series plasma displays led
to phosphor improvements and original lighting controls that deliver clear 3D
images with virtually no double images (crosstalk).
