As the digital era dawns, Hitachi has models that provide the best possible images today....and tomorrow. Our HDTV-
Ready SDX model incorporates new Flex Converter technology to display a high quality 480 P (progressive scanning)
image; this same circuitry enables it to accept a full 1080 I HDTV signal from a digital set-top box now or in the future.
The SDX model also has a S-VGA input for 800x600 resolution from a computer.
FLEX CONVERTER TECHNOLOGY
With current analog broadcasts, there is just one level of picture quality. In the new age of digital TV, there will be
several levels. The highest, called HDTV, can be as high as 1080 I. The standard level, SDTV, can be 480 P or 480 I.
Hitachi has developed the Flex Converter, advance circuitry that allows your UltraVision SDX series television to
produce true 1080 I HDTV resolution with an HDTV set-top box, it also converts analog 480 I signals to the higher-
quality 480 P signals with no scan lines or flicker. SDX needs a set-top box to receive any Digital Signal.
COMPONENT VIDEO
A component Video input accepts separate blue, red & B/W signals from a high resolution digital source as DVD or
digital set-top box to provide a higher resolution picture.
3DYC (DIGITAL 3DYC COMB FILTER)
The Digital 3DYC Comb Filter analyzes three lines of information from a single video frame as well as lines from
adjacent frames. This technology eliminates the flickering that a detailed pattern or scene would normally cause, for
the cleanest, neatest picture possible.
PIPC (PICTURE-IN-PC)
On our 36 SDX model, Picture-in-PC allows you to display images from our computer in the main TV picture, while
displaying video (from your antenna or video inputs) in the sub-picture. You can even choose to listen to the sound
from the sub-picture.
SRS 3D SURROUND
SRS is a truly dynamic Sound Retrieval System that works whether the signal you receive is stereo or surround
encoded. Its genius is that it creates a three-dimensional sound image from only the front speakers by retrieving the
spatial information from recordings. The effect is similar to that of a live performance.
BBE HIGH DEFINITION SOUND
BBE professional systems are used in broadcasting, television and recording studios all over the world and by many
of the world s most famous musicians in their concerts to achieve the best possible sound. BBE provides a rich and
exciting presence, clarity and detail to music. Speech is clearer and more intelligible at lower volume. BBE is a boon
to those with hearing problems or for those who enjoy old movies or TV shows. Sound from TV, and even stereo,
speakers can sound muddled because certain dynamics of the original recording can be lost. BBE circuitry recreates
the clear midrange sounds and crisp highs of the original recording for your enjoyment.
PROGRESSIVE SCANNING
Astandard TV uses Interlaced Scanning where each frame of video is broken into two fields, each providing alternating
scan lines. This can leave noticeable scan lines and cause flickering. With Progressive Scanning, complete frames are
displayed for a smoother picture with no scan lines and no flicker. This allows you to get the optimal picture quality from
today s high resolution digital sources such as DVD, a digital set-top box, or with a VGA input, a computer.
ULTRABLACK DIGITAL PITCH PICTURE TUBE
Astandard 36 tube has a 1.0 mm dot pitch. The smaller the dots, the sharper the picture. Our 36 SDX model utilizes
the UltraBlack Digital Pitch Invar Picture Tube with an ultrafine .78 mm dot pitch, a contributing factor to make HDTV-
Ready.
DDC2B PROTOCOL SUPPORT
In order for a computer to recognize a monitor it must have DDC2B support, which you ll find in our 36 SDX model.
This allows the computer to recognize the resolution capability of that monitor and then automatically set itself to that
level without manual adjustments.
