High Picture Quality Technology for More Efficient Memory Use
Long Time Recording with High Picture Quality
The DIGA ENGINE assures long time recording with even better picture quality. With the
DMR-EX85/H65 featuring a built-in 250GB* hard disk drive, you can record for up to roughly 443
hours. You can also record up to 8 hours of material on a single-sided disc (or up to 16 hours on a
double-sided 9.4GB* DVD-RAM disc).

Other Technologies for High Picture Quality Recording, Playback and Copying
•
Advanced Playback Noise Reduction
During recording, the degree of movement in sports, news and other
scenes is detected, and noise information related to it is recorded. During
playback, Noise Reduction is controlled to match this recorded
information. For scenes featuring a large degree of movement, the noise
elimination level is raised, while it is lowered during scenes in which there
is little movement to provide an exceptionally detailed picture.
•
Real-Time Variable Bit Rate Control
Panasonic DVD Recorders feature original quality rate control to achieve
the bit rate that most effectively improves picture quality. By varying the
compression rate to match image data volume and scene complexity, this
helps assure both high picture quality and efficient recording.
•
Visibility Modulation Technology
This discerns the range of attention of the human eye with respect to
changes in picture brightness, saturation, color, and contours and other
points in 16 x 16 pixel blocks. By lowering the compression rate for areas of
the picture that command a high degree of attention, this reduces distortion.
What's more, this advanced technology analyses the characteristics of
detailed images, and searches for areas in the images that can improve
picture quality to a high degree. It then reduces compression for these areas
to further reduce distortion. The result is clear, sharp reproduction of the
parts in images that contrast strongly with the background.
•
New 108-Mhz/12-bit DAC
This 108-Mhz/12-bit DAC (digital-analogue converter)
gives DIGA models even better playback quality.
* In the EP mode you can select either 6 hours or 8 hours of
recording. The sound quality in 6-hour EP mode is higher quality
than in the 8-hour EP mode.
# 1GB = one billion bytes. Useable capacity will be less.

DVB Integrated Digital Tuner (DMR-EX85/75)
Panasonic DVD-Recorders now feature integrated
DVB Digital Tuners for viewing enjoyment. The
integrated tuner allows for Digital broadcasting
reception without the use of a set-top box. High quality digital television
enjoyment has never been easier with a Panasonic DVD-Recorder.
