The HD world envisioned by Panasonic doesn't end with "VIERA." HD camcorders allow you to create your own video in HD quality and record the images on SD memory cards and DVDs. Blu-ray Disc players bring high-quality images into your home. Panasonic's lineup of HD equipment can be hooked up to a VIERA positioned as an advanced hub of a user-friendly and convenient network. It?s the "VIERA Link." "VIERA Link" lets you connect your "VIERA" to these HD products via a single HDMI cable. Where you once had separate controls, you now have just one "VIERA" remote control for everything. Photos taken with a digital camera "LUMIX" can also be viewed in full HD by just inserting the SD memory card into the "VIERA". The new "VIERA" PZ700 series automatically recognize HD video footage in the SD memory card, recorded with an HD camcorder, and lets you play back full-HD video clips with no trouble at all.
