Pioneer PDP-50MXE1 and PDP-43MXE1 Press Release - Technical Supplement
Features of PURE Drive
Noise reduction
Digital Processing Circuitry - in the new displays signal processing is entirely digital; with no digital to analogue conversion the integrity of the source signal is protected. Any noise interference is managed by Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) that reduces random digital noise to eradicate the problem of background image interference while MPEG NR technology reduces the ‘mosquito' noise effect associated with MPEG signals. These features reduce noise and on-screen flicker.
Sharp, vivid images
Interlaced images are converted to progressive to remove jagged edges. This creates a high-density video signal resulting in a more natural and crisp image. Pioneer PDPs overcome the limitations of conventional image processing that enhance picture outlines to create an unnatural reproduction of the detailed edges. The Natural Enhancer addresses this by using an Unsharp Mask filter to enhance outlines within an image. The result is sharp, vivid images.
Richer colours
An important innovation is Super CLEAR Drive Technology. It processes the basic colour elements enabling the reproduction of an astonishing 1.07 billion colours. It also virtually eliminates false contouring and improves greyscale by increasing the gradation steps from 1/5000 to 1/32500. A stunning 1024 grey scales can now be achieved and the overall effect ensures that alternative displays simply cannot match the subtlety of colour and superb contrast – even in dark scenes – offered by Pioneer.
Expansion card options
The standard RS-232C card supports operation from a remote PC or control systems, typically used in corporate and public display environments. The interface offers bi-directional control so that displays can be linked together and controlled individually from a central point - monitoring content and how the displays are operating.
The PDA-5003
The PDA-5003 expansion card includes S-Video x1 (Y/C), BNC composite video (IN/OUT), 2 x RCA audio inputs (L/R) and BNC x 5 terminals to receive both component and analogue RGB. The card is designed for digital signage, information display, video and broadcast applications - where more robust cable connection is required.
The PDA-5004
The PDA-5004 video expansion card is designed with presentation applications in mind. In line with the RCA connections used by office and consumer devices, the card offers S-Video x1 (Y/C), RCA (x1) composite and RCA (x3) component input connectivity and RCA x1 composite output. Three audio inputs are provided by RCA (L/R). The card will support education applications as well as the display of corporate video in public areas.
