January 27, 2004
Secuacus, NJ - Panasonic Broadcast has announced the immediate availability of new touch panel modules for its professional 42” and 50” plasma displays.
The TY-TP42P6S is the touch panel module for the 42-inch TH-42PWD6UY and TH-42PHD6UY plasma displays, and the TY-TP50P6S is the touch panel for the 50” TH-50PHD6UY plasma display.
These add-on touch panels allow users to interact directly with the screen via a light touch of a finger, the manufacturer reports. The lightweight (TY-TP42P6S: 7.7 pounds, TY-TP50P6S: 9.3lbs) yet robust aluminum touch panel modules are equipped with a highly-reliable optical sensor system. These modules offer super-fine resolution (TY-TP42P6S: 1833x1033 pixels, TY-TP50P6S: 2201x1241 pixels), a high scanning speed and stable, light-touch operation.
The modules’ thin design allows for a precise fit with the plasma displays.
The modules require no additional screen to be overlaid on top of the plasma display, thus causing no image quality deterioration. In addition, for finger-touch operation, the TY-TPEN6 touch pen will be available as an optional accessory Panasonic’s groundbreaking TH-6 Series plasma displays feature innovative picture-enhancing technologies including Super Real Gamma System, a Real Black Drive System, a Deep Black Filter, a MACH Enhancer and a Contrast Automatic Tracking System (C.A.T.S.); and improved usability with new functionality in the form of dual-picture modes, a 9-point digital zoom and multi-function slots for interchangeable IT networking and AV inputs.
