First Surface Pure Color Filter

For end-users who want their display to attract attention, Pioneer’s display with the First Surface Pure Color Filter reproduces the most brilliant lifelike colors possible while providing better contrast levels in bright environments and the most accurate picture quality currently available.  Pioneer’s new technology uses one less piece of glass than in previous models, reducing environmental waste in manufacturing and eventual recycling.  It improves picture quality by reducing reflection and increasing black levels.

Deep Encased Cell Structure

The cells of a plasma display panel, where light is generated, are the most important factor determining image quality. Pioneer has continually refined our cell technology, which is called Deep Encased Cell Structure. The latest version used in the PDP-505CMX incorporates an additional green fluorescent body material, contributing to ultra-high contrast and 1000 cd/m2 brightness.

Expansion Solutions Card Slots

Pioneer’s vision for its Expansion Solutions program is to provide a more future-proof environment for plasma displays by enabling users to customize their display to meet the rapid evolution of display network control and monitoring technology.  Pioneer’s plasmas can be adapted through expansion cards to allow access to the World Wide Web, to create a TV tuner, for system control, MPEG playback, signal interface, wireless connectivity or for an imbedded PC.  The flexibility and adaptability of Pioneer’s newly introduced PDP-505CMX and the stalwart PDP-504CMX and PDP-434CMX enable them to outperform the competition today as well as into the future.  As expert third party manufacturers continue to develop new expansion cards, the breadth of new applications using Pioneer’s plasma displays will grow exponentially.

Pure Drive

The PDP-505CMX employs Pioneer’s PureDrive technology to maintain the purest digital signal possible for a clear, smooth and natural image quality. PureDrive includes:

• Advanced Continuous Emission III (ACE III) reduces the visible steps between the levels of color being viewed making color transitions smoother than before.
• Pioneer’s unique Deep Encased Cell Structure and the use of fluorescent materials results in one of the highest brightness levels (white peak) in the industry.
• Digital Noise Reduction (DNR) effectively reduces random noise.
• MPEG Noise Reduction effectively reduces mosquito noise unique to MPEG signals.
• Natural Enhancer emphasizes image contours without causing adverse effects such as rough-edged images.
• Color Detail Adjustment allows users to independently fine-adjust the six basic colors.

Pioneer’s plasma tv displays offer significant longevity for a commercial user. Sixty thousand hours is an approximate time for the display panel to reach half of its original luminescence. This approximation may vary depending on source and type of content, settings, environment and use. This approximation does not provide or imply any warranty beyond the manufacturer's standard limited warranty.

Additional Features

• Three Picture-in-Picture (PiP) Display Modes offers a variety of PiP combinations.  
• Intelligent Auto Setup function automatically adjusts the screen when a computer is connected.
• Point Zoom function allows users to expand any portion of a PC image in three steps 1.5x, 2x and 3x for emphasizing key points in a presentation.
• 2x2 Enlarged Display function optimizes images depending on the input source when the four-segment multi screen display is used.
• Error Information function performs self-diagnosis of a malfunction and displays its cause using error codes as a sequence of lights on the front of the display for easy diagnosis.
• Screen Management gives integrators the ability to schedule video patterns at predetermined intervals to help achieve even wear of the phosphors in the panel allowing Pioneer’s plasmas to be better suited to withstand the rigors of digital signage and other professional display applications.
• The PDP-505CMX professional plasma display offers approximately 360 watts average consumption – without limiting performance.

• Pioneer’s plasma displays were the industry’s first to receive Microsoft’s Windows Hardware Qualification Labs (WHQL) certification of compliance. The PDP-505CMX continues this tradition by providing Plug & Play drivers to support Microsoft Windows and other operating systems.

• RS-232 Get Command can transmit various information to a PC via the RS-232C link, including power on/off, input number, signal detection and complete error data. This ensures that remote monitoring is worry-free.

• Various Energy Save Modes are available, including Power Save;, Intermediate; Linear Brightness which decreases the peak intensity of high-brightness images; and Auto Brightness Control which uses a light sensor to automatically adjust the brightness depending on room lighting.
