PURE VISION PLASMA TECHNOLOGY 19
Exclusive to Pioneer, PURE Drive 2HDadvanced full digital image processing optimises every image
on the plasma display. The sophisticated combination of picture improvement technologiesworks
together to enhance four image quality characteristics: vivid and real; clear and noise-free; smooth
and natural; and sharp and rich in contrast.
SUPERIOR IMAGE PROCESSING
With Pioneer’s colour adjustment settings, you can easily adjust the colour to your own taste. White tones can be adjusted with the Colour Temperaturesetting. Colour
Management allows you to individually adjust a colour without affecting adjacent colours, for more vivid and true colour reproduction. Digital CTI (Colour Transient
Improvement)brings the edges of coloured images into sharp relief, so pictures are clear and distinct.
VIVID AND REALISTIC COLOURS (PDP-506XDE, PDP-436XDE, PDP-506FDE, PDP-436FDE, PDP-615EX)
With Pioneer Plasma TVs, there’s no problem of dull or faded pictures. Because the Dynamic Range Expander is at work behind the scenes to enhance light and dark
areas. How? After making a dynamic analysis of the complete image, a collection of technologies continuously adjusts the picture according to its characteristics. You’ll
notice a marked improvement in the contrastand a sharper presentation — with more details in dark picture areas.
SHARP AND RICH-IN-CONTRAST PICTURES (PDP-506XDE, PDP-436XDE, PDP-506FDE, PDP-436FDE)
Pioneer Plasma TVs offer you clear, noise-free images, thanks to several top-notch technologies. Digital
Noise Reductionminimises picture noise, reproducing images true to the original. MPEG Noise Reduction*
reduces mosquito noise typical for MPEG video images without losing detail, useful when viewing DVDs or
digital TV channels. When watching analogue TV, you can rely on Tuner Noise Reduction*to automatically
adapt the noise reduction level to the signal strength. The 3D Y/C separation filter*for PAL TV optimally
separates the brightness (Y) and colour (C) signals, so no colour artefacts occur. The total result is
drastically improved picture quality, without disturbing noise.
* Not available for PDP-615EX.

Noise Reduction
Pioneer’s quest for image perfection has resulted in the i-CLEAR Drive technology. Pictures are analysed and then colour gradation and
brightness levels are automatically optimised on-screen. New multi-bit processing increases the range of gradation levels, so even more
colourscan be reproduced. Darker picture areas are especially enhanced — with more gradation steps— so there’s even more detail to discover.
NATURAL COLOUR TRANSITIONS
Thanks to Pioneer’s Dynamic HD Conversion, images are
sharp and clear. After scanning the 84 surrounding
pixels, each pixel is individually optimised. Pictures are smootherthan they have
ever been before.
