Panasonic, a provider of professional display and video
production solutions, today announced the availability of the
TH-42BT300U and TH-50BT300U professional plasma reference monitors.
These plasma displays are ideal for production and post-production
as well as content creation for gaming, graphics design, etc. where
color accuracy and 3D rendering are essential.
For the broadcast and production markets, uses for the BT300U
Series might include a confidence check of input signals such as a
waveform monitor to assure proper signal ranges or with real-time
3D to check proper signal and disparity settings from 3D camera
acquisitions. For those working in post-production, this could
include precision color correction of content for mastering L/R 3D
images in side-by-side format for 2D color correction. In the past,
colorists have had to color correct left/right 3D images
sequentially which was less than the ideal method. With the BT300U
Series, both the left and right images can be on the screen at the
same time, streamlining the correction process.
Steve Morgan, Chief Engineer with Deluxe Digital Studios, Inc.,
a leading worldwide provider of services to the entertainment
industry in film, video and digital media, is currently using the
TH-50BT300U plasma display for post-production compression QC.
“We’re impressed with the resolution in the black areas of the
screen when in Cinema Mode. Noise in these areas is now at about
half of what it was with our previous plasma display, which worked
really well,” Morgan said. “Additionally, the new granular controls
in the color system management have enabled our engineers to obtain
much more accurate color calibration. We’re also impressed with the
reduction in visible bit-depth banding in the BT300 Series.”
Professional audio and video solution providers are also seeing
the potential benefits these plasma displays will offer their
customers.
“The needs of production and post production require large, wide
angle displays that can be professionally color managed. Panasonic
has been listening to the industry and are delivering the products
these professionals require,” said Chris Bone, CTO of reseller VTP.
“Common sense should lead production and post-production companies
to try this new plasma display built specifically for them. With
proper setup, the Panasonic 42” and 50” BT300 Series Professional
Plasmas may quickly become recognized as the best overall value for
colorists who desire affordable wide-viewing angle large screen
professional-featured displays.”
The TH-42BT300U and TH-50BT300U are available now from
authorized Panasonic resellers at an estimated price of $3,720 and
$5,215 respectively.
“With the BT300 Series of reference monitors now in the hands of
customers, we are seeing just how effective the devices have been
in a variety of applications within production and post production
markets such as color correction in both 2D and 3D content,” said
Rick Albert, Vice President of Flat Panel Displays. “These
professional plasma displays offer customers an invaluable content
production and post-production reference tool made specifically for
them, a first for this industry.”
