How "BD-Live" expands the
movie-watching experience
Panasonic has been a leader in Blu-ray development since the
format's launch. The key addition is an Ethernet port,
which lets you connect the player directly to the Internet
to access bonus material available on some Blu-ray movies. You can stream this content to your HDTV via a
broadband connection, and even save it to removable SD
memory cards.
Picture quality that will please
even demanding videophiles
The 'BD80's stunning picture is a result of Panasonic's
exclusive video processing. It samples over 15 billion
pixels per second to create a detailed picture with
lifelike textures, and uses 16-level motion detection to
ensure on-screen movement stays blur-free. Special
processing eliminates jagged edges on diagonal lines,
for smooth, realistic contours. If your HDTV accepts
1080p/24 video, the 'BD80's 1080p/24 output mode will
provide the sharpest, most filmlike picture on Blu-ray
movies.
Complete the high-def experience
with the latest high-res surround sound formats
If you own a newer home theater receiver with advanced
surround decoding, experiencing the state-of-the-art
sound on Blu-ray discs is easy. Simply connect the
DMP-BD80 to your receiver via HDMI for up to 7.1
channels of sound from Blu-ray movies with Dolby®
Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD™, or DTS-HD Master
Audio soundtracks. Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio
use "lossless" compression to deliver detailed sound
that's identical to the movie studio's original master.
And if your A/V receiver lacks HDMI, don't worry. This
player's built-in decoding and 5.1 analog outputs make
these high-res formats accessible to any receiver with a
5.1 input.

Blu-ray Disc Overview: Blu-ray Disc (BD) is a high-definition disc format designed to take advantage of today's high quality HDTVs. The resolution is up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) and the data transfer rate is up to 40 mbps. Blu-ray Disc discs and players offer several advantages over the standard DVD format:
Better picture quality: Blu-ray Disc is a true high-definition format offering video at 720p, 1080i, or 1080p resolution. While standard DVDs look very good on an HDTV, they don't provide a high-definition signal (not even when you use an up-converting DVD player). Blu-ray Disc delivers an extraordinarily sharp, clean, detailed picture, with deeper, richer colors.
Better sound quality: In addition to the same multi-channel sound formats you're accustomed to with DVD (Dolby Digital and DTS), Blu-ray Disc offers Dolby Digital Plus and uncompressed 7.1 channel PCM.
Much greater storage capacity: What makes Blu-ray Disc's superior picture and sound possible is the much higher storage capacity of Blu-ray Disc discs. A single-layer Blu-ray Disc can hold 25 gigabytes of data, over five times the amount a standard DVD can hold. Dual-layer Blu-ray Discs hold 50 gigabytes, which equates to nine hours of High Definition or 23 hours of Standard Definition video, plus high-resolution multi-channel audio and the added features and material that require multiple discs with standard DVD.
Compatibility with your current disc collections: To ensure backward-compatibility with your existing library of discs, Blu-ray Disc players use a dual-laser mechanism: a blue laser for playing high-definition Blu-ray Discs, and a conventional red laser for playing DVDs and audio CDs.
Future Compatibility: As Blu-Ray technology continues to evolve, new disc types with enhanced functionality will become available. In order for you to enjoy this new functionality, you will likely be required to update the firmware in your player. These firmware updates will become available for downloading from the Internet.
PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus: The Panasonic DMP-BD80 features technology that reproduces movies with colors that are exceptionally faithful to the original. This advanced technology, incorporated in the unit's PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus video processor, was developed after more than 15 years of collaboration between Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory and professional cinema studios in Hollywood. With PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus, you can view content on Blu-ray Discs and enjoy crisp, vivid colors that are extremely close to the original.
P4HD (Pixel Precision Progressive Processing for HD): Panasonic's P4HD processes more that 15 billion pixels per second to render high-quality progressive images, express motion smoothly, and draw sharp diagonal lines. The following makeup P4HD:
Precise Pixel Generator: pixel information is compared to as many as 60 surrounding pixels to ensure accurate progressive conversion
Motion Detection: 16-Level Motion Detection with Pixel-Based Motion Adaptive categorizes the image motion of each pixel into one of 16 levels, from still to super fast to best suit the motion, minimizing conversion errors
Diagonal Processing: P4HD detects diagonal lines and corrects each pixel accordingly
3:2 Pull-Down: film sources are sensed instantly to optimize processing
1080p Up-Conversion: through the HDMI output any disc can be output as 1080p
Video D/A Converter: The 148.5KHz/12-bit Video D/A Converter technology renders ultra-fine images with smooth gradation and reproduces crisp, natural colors that are extremely faithful to the original movie.
1080/24P HDMI Output: Many BD-Video movie contents are recorded in 24 frames per second in accordance with the film material. This unit support 1080/24P video through its HDMI output so you can enjoy high-quality video with improved clarity and enhanced perspective.
Deep Color: The DMP-BD80's HDMI output is Deep Color compatible, with 4,096 steps of gradation for even smoother, finer-quality images that meet Hollywood's stringent demands, so you can experience movies just the way they were meant to be experienced.
