Panasonic System Solutions (SSD), the business division of a leading diversified technology company, Panasonic Life Solutions India (PLSIND), announced the new PHV Series, an ultra-sharp Active LED display technology that helps accentuate the potential of KAIROS—Panasonic’s unique, IT/IP video processing platform. Launched at the ‘Broadcast India Show’ in Mumbai, the PHV series enables broadcasters to redefine the possibilities of virtual production and create a format-free canvas to amplify video production. The advanced display platform comprises multiple features, low scan and high frame rate capabilities. This display technology empowers filmmakers and new-age content creators to seamlessly blend the realms of technology and imagination to enable virtual applications such as (XR/VR/AR).

The PHV Series’ Active LED display supports a 7,860Hz refresh rate and features 1000-1500 nits high brightness with a 10-bit Color depth which is a valuable feature in filmmaking for achieving accurate color reproduction, reducing artifacts, and enhancing the overall visual content quality. Additionally, the Active LED Display supports gray-level enhancement, HDR10 compatibility, and a power-saving mode. Thus, contributing to increased image realism and smoother color transitions, ultimately improving the viewing experience for audiences. It is designed for full front dismantling and assembly with 45-degree cut corners and flexible module splicing. 

Alongside the PHV Series, Panasonic has also launched the All-In-One (AIO) LED Wall, which comes with Picture-in-Picture mode, offering a user-friendly feature that enhances usability by allowing users to work with multiple sources of content simultaneously. The Active LED Display and AIO LED Wall both hold IPX certifications, primarily engineered for exceptional durability and resilience against wear and impact, be it from water exposure or harsh environmental conditions.

PHV displays offer the ability to customize and fine-tune the color gamut, a highly beneficial feature for a professional-grade LED screen. This capability ensures the recreation of nearly every color found in the natural world, thereby expanding the spectrum of color expression. These displays are well-suited for a diverse array of applications in which the quality and precision of color reproduction are critical.
