High Definition TV is coming soon. For example, in the UK both commercial broadcasters and the BBC are already filming some programmes in High Definition. BSkyB has announced plans to start HD broadcasts in 2006 while many movie studios have committed to producing movies on HD DVD. You will need an HDTV receiver or HD DVD player, but most importantly, you will need a High Definition compatible TV. What is HDTV? Very simply, High Definition Television is a digital system that gives you picture quality that is vastly superior to current broadcast systems. The improvement in clarity, depth and sharpness of images is instantly visible. HDTV provides an average of eight times more data on a display screen than a standard definition broadcast thanks to the increased picture resolution that HD broadcasts deliver. The Technical Bit • Current digital TV broadcast system (PAL) offers 576 active lines of picture information, sent as an interlaced signal, reproducing around 210,000 pixels. • There are three main HDTV standards: 720p, which offers 720 lines of image, progressively scanned; 1080i, providing 1080 lines of interlaced image; and 1080p, which provides 1080 lines of progressively scanned lines. • High Definition broadcasts carry two million pixels of data signal - that’s around eight times more picture detail on the HDTV screen versus current Digital broadcasts. A new European industry-wide technical standard has been defined for products which will be able to display High Definition images. Any product featuring this logo guarantees: • A minimum native resolution of the display or display engine (in the case of DLP projectors, for example) is 720 lines in widescreen format. • The display will accept HD signals via component video and DVI or HDMI interface. • HD component inputs that will accept the following video formats: a) 1280 x 720p and b) 1920x1080i (at 50 and 60Hz). • A DVI or HDMI input with HDCP copy protection support. Available Now! Toshiba already has a range of TVs and projectors capable of displaying High Definition broadcasts in all their glory when they are available. In the meantime, you can make the most of the products’ high specifications and their benefits. High Resolution The resolution of a screen dictates the amount of picture information you will see. The more image data available, the more detail in the display and the greater your viewing experience. That’s why all the widescreen LCD TVs in this brochure have a minimum panel resolution of 1280 x 720 (almost 1 million pixels). Potentially each pixel can display different information, so enhancing the colour, tone and ultimately, the three-dimensionality of the image displayed. Insight: High Definition TV HD Ready: three high-spec LCD TVs with high resolution screens, 2x HDMI and Component Video inputs, plus integrated digital receivers (p.8) HD Ready: three striking LCD TVs with high resolution screens and HDMI input (p.10) An industry standard for connecting high definition components, High Definition Multimedia Interface™ transmits uncompressed digital video and audio content over a single cable, replacing the multiple cables required with analogue AV connections. As there is no conversion from digital to analogue and back again (as with a SCART lead for example), the original digital quality is upheld. HDMI™ dramatically simplifies home cinema system installation and offers numerous additional benefits including PC compatibility, automatic format adjustment, as well as automatic configuration of the system to turn on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD or watch cable or satellite TV. As pioneers of DVD and the new HD DVD technologies, we have shown our continuing commitment to bringing the very latest advances in AV technology into your home for your ultimate enjoyment. Our latest LCD screens are packed with image-enhancing technology such as Active Vision LCD and Real Digital picture processing, while our range of DLP™ TVs and projectors bring the full impact of cinema style viewing into your living room. What is Active Vision LCD? Active Vision is a high performance picture processing system designed to produce a stunning picture by enhancing four core elements of a television image: Detail – Active Vision LCD can reproduce three times more pixels than a conventional LCD TV. Colour – Active Vision LCD can reproduce four times more colour tones than a conventional LCD TV. Movement – Using Real Speed Progressive technology, Active Vision LCD dramatically reduces jagged edges on lines and detail during fast-moving scenes. Contrast – Active Vision LCD uses a dynamic contrast enhancer to adjust contrast levels automatically. While it is important for an LCD TV to have a high performance panel, for the best results it is absolutely essential to have a high performance picture processing system. What is Real Digital Picture Processing? Real Digital adds yet another dimension to the picture processing technology by reducing the number of signal separations that normally occur in an LCD TV. Signal processing in current LCD TVs has to pass through numerous separate signal conversions before it arrives at the panel processing chip. This process dramatically reduces the picture signal quality of the TV. Toshiba’s new Real Digital picture processing reduces the signal separation stages, therefore maintaining the original detail of the signal, and enhancing the picture performance. If the HDMI™ interface is used, the signal is carried directly to the panel signal processor as a digital signal, and no picture separation occurs. Insight: Screen Technology Thanks to Digital TV, DVD and High Definition TV, the audio-visual quality of programmes available is generally far superior to anything we have experienced in the home before. However, you need to have the right equipment to enjoy this new level of home entertainment.

drive so you can choose the media (disc type) you want to record onto – integrated hard disk, or removable DVD-RAM, DVD-RW or DVD-R (depending on the model). What is recordable DVD? A DVD recorder allows you to record, edit and play back material with astonishing ease and absolutely no loss of quality. Before recordable DVD, if you wanted to record a programme or home movie, you were expected to compromise on quality, with a tape of limited capacity and susceptible to long-term deterioration. Not to mention the hassle of searching for a blank cassette at the last moment, or the risk of recording over something you wanted to keep. All that has changed. Recordable DVD offers durable discs of varying format and capacity capable of storing great quantities of digital information for your enjoyment. A DVD recorder isn’t just about recording programmes from TV, or even digital images from camcorders and cameras. It also gives you complete control to edit the bits you want, then archive the final version on a permanent disc or give copies to friends. Which format? There are several different recording formats. A DVD recorder records video and audio optically onto discs. Discs are available in different formats and can be either ‘re-writable’ (DVD- RAM, DVD-RW) or used only once (DVD-R). A DVD hard disk recorder offers the added benefit of a built-in hard disk drive (HDD), as well as a removable disc option. Hard Disk Drive The most obvious benefits of a hard disk are the capacity* and simple editing/dubbing capabilities. You can use the HDD for everyday recordings, then edit and dub to disc if you want to keep them or pass them on to someone else. *(up to 206 hours on the RD-XS64) DVD-RAM A DVD-RAM disc is ideal for recordings you want to edit and archive. The disc may be single or double-sided and is re-writable up to 100,000 times meaning the content can be erased and the disc can be reused with no risk of deterioration in quality. For added durability, some DVD-RAM discs are encased in a plastic caddy, protecting them from fingerprints and scratches. The main advantages of DVD-RAM are the recording and editing versatility. With the Random Access Memory (RAM) format, all available space on a disc can be used, unwanted sections of programmes can be simply edited or deleted, and new recordings made without accidentally recording over something you wanted to keep. DVD-RW A DVD-RW disc is also re-writable, up to a maximum of 1,000 times. However, recording is linear, just like on a VHS tape, so although recordings can be deleted and replaced, they cannot be edited. This means that there is greater risk of over-recording and wasted space than with a DVD-RAM disc. DVD-R Like CD-R, a write-once DVD-R disc can only be used to record once and the recording cannot be deleted. The main advantage is that they are cheap to buy and compatible with most DVD players, recorders or DVD drives, making them ideal for loans to friends and multiple copying (for example, a wedding or holiday video). Insight: DVD Recorders A DVD Recorder is little short of the ultimate in digital entertainment versatility. TV, home video, family photos, music, movies wherever and whenever you want... with a DVD recorder the choice is yours. 20:00 Start recording a real-time broadcast The recording is completed 20:15 20:30 21:00 You come home and watch the recorded footage using ‘chase play’ Picture from the real-time TV broadcast Picture in Picture feature Timeslip feature Picture being played back Edit menu DV recording window Instant connection via DV input 20:15 20:30 21:00 21:15 Timeslip Now you can make the TV schedule fit in with your own schedule thanks to the brilliant Timeslip feature that gives you the option to ‘Chase’ or ‘Pause’ TV. Chase TV means you can watch the start of a programme at any time, while it is being recorded. For instance, watch the start of the Grand Prix before waiting for the end of the race. Easy Navi* With so many features and functions on our Hard Disk Recorders, it would be natural to feel daunted at the prospect of finding your way around. However, our HDD recorders* feature a simplified Easy Navi menu option which gives you easy access to recordings and key features. Simply press the Easy Navi button on the remote control while watching TV or playing recorded footage to display the navigation menu on the screen. From there it’s just one press of the button to access all the operations you need to playback, record or edit. *(RD-XS24). Hard Disk models also allow you to pause a live programme at the touch of a button, then continue from that point when you are ready. Meanwhile, you can keep an eye on the real-time broadcast with the ‘Picture in Picture’ feature which opens a small picture box showing the live programme. The menus are completely intuitive, aided by thumbnail visuals of programme content. The recorder even recognises when a camcorder is connected, automatically providing the appropriate on screen menu to download footage using the recorder’s remote control. Satellite Box Control Multiple recordings from satellite is just as easy. You simply select the appropriate channel in the programming window and be sure to leave the satellite box switched on. The recorder will automatically switch the satellite receiver to the appropriate channel for each recording.

For detailed specifications see page 38. HDMI™ Up Conversion High Definition displays require a minimum resolution of 1280x720p. However, existing DVD videos have a native resolution of 480p. An up conversion DVD player is capable of upgrading a current DVD‘s resolution to high resolution 1080i or 720p signals. Therefore, if you have, or are considering purchasing an HD Ready TV in anticipation of forthcoming High Definition programming (broadcast or HD DVD), a DVD player with up conversion capability will enable you to view your existing DVD videos with the higher resolution. As the up-conversion process is completely digital, there is no loss of data or quality, as there would be with a digital-analogue conversion.
