2D/3D Broadcast and Post-production Monitors that Support a Wide Range of Applications, from Post-Production to Cinema CG

The TH-50BT300 offers faithful colours, excellent moving picture resolution and wide-angle viewing that come from the self illuminating plasma displays.
The TH-BT300ER Series further enhance tonal expression by doubling* dark gradation over conventional models.

Faithful Colour Reproduction with the High-Performance Professional-Grade Engine
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.

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).

*Valid for Cinema mode and Monitor mode.

The Wide Colour Gamut Panel Reproduces Colours That Professional Applications Demand
The TH-BT300ER 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.

*1: Comparing previous models (the PF20 Series) in the same-size.
*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).
*3: According to the method for measuring moving-picture resolution to indicate motion-image display performance that was developed by the Advanced PDP Development Centre Corporation (APDC). With Moving
Picture Resolution turned ON.

Various Marker Functions
A variety of markers can be used when editing images. The BT300 Series has markers that can be used for both 16:9 and 4:3 modes. And multiple markers can be displayed simultaneously.

• Aspect Marker
• Safe Area Marker (16：9/4：3)
• Centre Marker (16：9/4：3)
• Crosshatch Grid

Gamma Settings
When used as a broadcast monitor, the standardised gamma characteristics can be reproduced. Select from γ1.0,* γ2.2, γ2.35, γ2.4 and γ2.6.

* When 2K1K signals are received with the Dual Link HD-SDI Terminal Board or Dual HD-SDI Terminal Board for 3D, Gamma 1.0 cannot be selected.

Colour Temperature Settings
Select from 9300K, D65, approx 6,100K, approx 5,600K, approx 3,200K (compatible with tungsten lighting for on-camera use), 11300K.

Wave Form Monitor
This function displays the waveform for the brightness and colour levels of input signals from other video devices, for easy monitoring.

HV Delay Display
This function delays the synchronisation signals for horizontal and vertical positioning to display the image blanking intervals.

SLOT2.0 Compatibility, Enhances Expandability
The SLOT2.0 function slot greatly expands the display's range of applications. It also enables the addition of an optional HD-SDI or Dual Link HD-SDI function board.

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).

Four 3D Image Inputs Supported
The BT300 Series is compatible with Frame Packing, Simultaneous, Side-by-Side and Top-and-Bottom methods.

3D Image Production Supported by the 3D Viewing Mode
The 3D images are separated and displayed as right and left images.
