Secure Digital (SD) Memory Cards are a widely used format for flash memory in portable devices like digital cameras and handheld computers. When you take a picture with a digital camera, that data is stored on the camera's SD Memory Card, a postage stamp-sized flash memory drive that can be popped in and out of your camera or other compatible devices. SD cards are available in 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, and 512 MB, and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 GB.

Contrast ratio measures the difference in brightness between the whitest white and the darkest black within an image. A ratio of 300:1 means the brightest point in the image is 300 times as bright as the darkest point. The higher the contrast ratio, the better an image will appear against a darker background, and the crisper, more detailed the image will be overall.

The VIERA® HDTVs Game Mode optimizes the signal processing of game content coming from high definition game consoles and multimedia computers. This feature ensures lag-free play by reducing response time from 15ms to 5ms. Game Mode also enhances gradation in saturated areas to express more details and dynamically analyses the signal for content differentiations that are beyond the bandwidth of the dynamic range of video or TV specifications.

A VIERA® HDTV feature called "automatic pixel wobbling" shifts the position of a television's image by several pixels at fixed time intervals. This anti-image retention technology helps to eliminate image "burn-in."

The VIERA HDTV's 24p Cinematic Playback mode provides an optimal playback option for 1080p video from a Blu-ray source.

HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new high quality standard digital connection between A/V devices, such as a cable TV set-top box, DVD player or A/V receiver, and a digital television.

HDMI supports the HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) standards, allowing transmission of copy-protected digital content to your display.

AVCHD is a high definition video recording format that allows digital camcorders to record 1080i and 720p video onto several different types of media.
