Panasonic DMR-EX78 - DVD - 250GB HDD Recorder - FREEVIEW - HDMI - 1080P UPSCALE

Manufacturer's Description

Freeview Playback
All of 2008 Hard Drive models have features designed to make TV recording super convenient, including detection of schedule changes, series recording and the ability to pause live TV.
Pause Live TV
Pause Live TV lets you freeze TV programmes just like pausing a DVD, by selecting "Pause Live TV" on the VIERA Link menu. With VIERA Link you can even access Pause Live TV from the VIERA remote control. The TV programme is temporarily saved on the hard disk drive so you can watch the rest of the programme, precisely from the stopped frame, at a later time. * When 8 hours have passed since the programme was recorded, the image is deleted in successive 30-minute lengths. * This function is available for Panasonic products that support VIERA Link (HDAVI Control 3).

Deep Colour
DIGA is Deep Colour ready, which means they can reproduce images with 12-bit, 4,096-step gradation. You enjoy exceptionally rich, naturallooking colours, with smooth, detailed gradation and minimal colour banding (the TV must also be Deep Colour compatible).

1080p Up - Conversion
Ordinary TV broadcasts and DVD discs provide SD images with 576 x 640 pixels or 576 x 720 pixels. Today‘s newest HDTVs, on the other hand, can display images with 1080 x 1920 pixels. HDTVs require high-quality image sources suitable for their large screens. If the optimization process for high-quality images is inadequate, the picture can become blurry or grainy. DIGA‘s original i/p conversion and up-conversion functions solve this problem. These functions convert SD signals from DVD discs or DIGA‘s own hard disc drive into 1080p signals that provide high-resolution images. The conversion process boosts the amount of image information by about 5 times, so pictures are clear and beautiful.

Intelligent I/P Conversion
DIGA uses Precision Pixel Generation technology in combination with three advanced functions - Pixel-Based Motion Adaptive, Diagonal Processing, and 2:2 Detection and Processing - to apply the type of i/p conversion that best suits the image. Precise Pixel Generation - Using a high-speed algorithm, this technology generates a new pixel for an image area from information obtained from 60 neighbouring pixels.

DVB-T Adaptive Noise Reduction
The DVB-T Adaptive Noise Reduction detects and removes the block noise that is unique to digital broadcasts. It helps deliver beautiful pictures with minimal noise.

Super Multi Format
All DIGA DVD recorders offer the ease and convenience of Super Multi- Format Recording and Playback, which lets users play all of their DVDs, regardless of the recording format. DIGA models can record and play back DVD-RAM, DVD-R1 2, DVD-R DL1 2 3, DVD-RW1 3, +R, +R DL3, +RW discs. So you don't have to worry about whether your DIGA can play back everything in your current video library.

Jukebox with gracenote (CD Database)
Data from music CDs and USB devices can easily be transferred to the DIGA hard disk drive. It supports gracenote®, so titles and artist names are automatically saved together with the music CD data. It also supports the ID3Tag title information that is embedded in MP3 music data. The new DIGA is like a jukebox filled with your favourite music.
