Pioneer New Media Technologies, the leading provider of plasma and video display products, is showcasing its innovative line of plasma displays, including its HDTV-ready 50-inch XGA unit, the worldís most advanced flat panel display, during the NAB 2001 trade show at booth S4865. Offering the highest quality of video playback, Pioneerís plasma display panels are ideal for a variety of broadcast applications including use in editing suites, television sets, news sets and mobile broadcast applications. Pioneerís 50- and 40-inch plasma units - the PDP-502MX and the PDP-V402, respectively - offer broadcast professionals all of the benefits of plasmaís emissive display capabilities. Unlike conventional CRTs, this technology delivers bright and even colors, better contrast ratios, high resolution and 160-degree viewing angles, in thin, lightweight panels.With their size and versatility, both Pioneer plasma units allow broadcast and other users to maximize space and expand on display applications since the panels can be hung, mounted, flown or tilted from walls, ceilings, countertops, racks and more. Now in full production, Pioneerís 50- and 40-inch units are already being used as video displays by a variety of broadcast and entertainment facilities including CBS Sports, Sega GameWorksô, FAO Schwartz, Bodygear Activewear, Nordstrom, Radio City Music Hall and Jack Kent Cooke Stadium.ìPioneerís plasma products represent the future of display technology for the broadcast industry and are extremely effective for users seeking video and computer display solutions in a lightweight, space-saving format,î said Craig McManis, Marketing Director for Pioneer New Media Technologies. ìOur products offer a virtually limitless number of opportunities for broadcast professionals needing a high quality editing and playback solution.î Able to display both video and computer images, Pioneerís 50- and 40-inch plasmas allow sports broadcasters, newsrooms and entertainment shows to integrate high impact, broadcast-quality presentations. They also enable users to develop sophisticated, interactive merchandising vehicles that capture customer attention and interest.Pioneerís 50-inch unit features a theatre-like 16:9 aspect ratio and is HDTV-ready. As such, users will be able to view programming in the widescreen versions of these formats without letter boxing or image cropping.
