Introduction
Z Series
A wireless Transmitter HDMI comes with the separate tuner/media unit, which sends digital wireless
audio and video to the Display Unit.
The TV itself has no ports, and instead connects wirelessly to a separate box that handles all wired
connections.
The flagship VIERA plasma in 2009 is the Z1 series, with a revolutionary one inch thin panel design
and Wireless HD connectivity. to deliver the ultimate sleek, uncluttered HDTV viewing experience.
VIERA CAST web menu with the new streaming HD movie rental capability via Amazon Video-on-
Demand.
The Neo PDP design of the VIERA Z1 produces a brighter picture, deeper blacks, improved native
contrast ratio (40,000:1) and Full-Time 1080 TV lines of motion resolution.
1080p resolution, a THX Certified Display; an Infinite Black panel; 600Hz Sub-field Drive; and VIERA
Link, and VIERA Image Viewer for playing back digital still images and AVCHD videos recorded on SD
Memory Cards.
Wireless HD technology can transmit full HD video signals, and audio and control signals wirelessly.
This wireless transmission system was developed by Panasonic in collaboration with SiBEAM Inc. It
can transmit uncompressed 1080p full HD content wirelessly with no deterioration in quality by using
60GHz millimeter wave radio. The picture on the screen goes undisturbed even when people interrupt
the wireless communication path, and overcomes the highly directional nature of millimeter wave radio.
This is achieved by incorporating beam steering technology.
