As more critical and revenue-based applications flow across company networks, data networks are becoming the corporate "competitive" edge. Lack of performance in the wiring closet, more stringent application bandwidth requirements, and the lack of qualified network experts are all challenges that have to be met before implementing the next "killer application." Fixed port desktop routing switches provide core network routing features without the large rack space requirements and large capital expenditure required by traditional core routing switches. By enabling better bandwidth utilization, application performance increases and both employee productivity and revenue can be enhanced - creating a truly competitive network.

Nothing is as powerful and emotional as film.

It's the very reason why Pioneer has put more than ten years of design, research and development into building KURO: a flat screen television that will let you see and hear film like never before.

The goal was straightforward: to build a screen that delivered the absolute best picture quality in the world. A screen that was true to how filmmakers intended their work to be seen. The result is KURO.

'KURO' means black in Japanese; this is relevant because KURO screens have significantly deeper black levels than any other flat-screen TV on the market, some 80% deeper.

The deepest black levels produce the purest colors, which reveal the sharpest details. This is KURO.

The KURO screen gives you the ability to see literally every shade between black and white. Now, the film you see - and feel - on-screen is unparalleled in range and detail, the ultimate appearance of vivid and flawless color.

The impact of what you see on KURO is unlike anything you have possibly seen before.
