Stunning Picture Quality with Excellent Dynamic Range
New Red-Rich Lamp
The new 200-W Red-Rich Lamp increases the luminous
efficiency of the projector to achieve brighter images
with excellent color purity. Able to produce a stunning
brightness of 2,000 lm, the PT-AE7000 unleashes the
beauty of 2D/3D full-HD expression for viewing on
various screen sizes.
Full-HD Optimized Optical System
To assure maximum clarity and sharpness in full-HD images, this
advanced optical system employs a full-HD-optimized lens unit com-
prising of 16 lens elements in 12 groups, including two large-diameter
aspherical lenses and two high-performance ED (extra-low dispersion)
lenses. Each lens is carefully aligned to assure a uniform focusing bal-
ance from the center to the edges of the screen. As a result, the
PT-AE7000 produces stunningly clear and beautiful images.
New up to 480-Hz Compatible LCD Panels
The PT-AE7000's Full-HD LCD panels provide more brightness with
higher aperture ratio. The panels are also designed for 480Hz process-
ing capability for brighter 3D image. These high-precision panels use
vertically aligned liquid crystal molecules with inorganic alignment lay-
ers. When no voltage is applied, the molecules are aligned perpendicu-
lar to the glass substrate, so there is minimal light leakage, providing
higher contrast.
Pure Contrast Plates Deliver High 300,000:1 Contrast Ratio
The Pure Contrast Plates in the PT-AE7000 use a high-precision crys-
talline material that is carefully matched to the characteristics of the
LCD panels to effectively correct the passage of light exiting the pan-
els. This enables the projector to block unwanted light leakage and
successfully increases the dynamic range. It works together with the
Pure Color Filter Pro and Dynamic Iris Pro to achieve an astounding
contrast ratio of 300,000:1.
* 1 A setting that supports the 6,500K color temperature recommended in the
HDTV standard (ITU-R BT.709)
* 2 Specifications put forth by the Society of Motion Picture and Television
Engineers (SMPTE) PR431-2.
* 3 Parameters for adjusting the output brightness gradation level according to
the input signal.
Advanced 3D dual-core processing engine
enables high-quality 3D and 2D projection.
Pure Color Filter Pro for Rich, Vibrant Colors
The optical filter optimizes the light spectrum from
the UHM projector lamp, helping to produce deeper
blacks while improving purity levels in the three pri-
mary colors (red, green and blue). This advanced fil-
ter system improves color purity to cover a range
that extends from the HDTV standard (Rec. 709
mode)* 1 to the color gamut used in digital cinema*
This gives images the deep, rich coloring that distin-
guishes movie images.
Dynamic Iris Pro Adds Beauty to Both Dark and Bright
Scenes
This intelligent iris system works by analyzing the brightness level of
each image using a histogram, then adjusting the lamp power, iris and
gamma curve* 3 accordingly to create the ideal image. The adjustments
are made virtually frame by frame.
This helps the projector achieve a
wide dynamic range with swift
smoothness for added beauty in
both dark and bright scenes.
Smooth Screen Technology
Creates Film-Like Texture
While many LCD projectors suffer
from a "chicken wire" effect, Pan-
asonic's pursuit of the highest
possible image quality has suc-
cessfully overcome this device
limitation through the incorpora-
tion of Smooth Screen technology.
This uses the double refraction
property of crystals to arrange
pixels on a screen with no gaps
between them.
Seven Picture Modes
Seven different picture modes (normal, dynamic, Rec. 709, D-cinema,
cinema 1, cinema 2 and game mode for reduced frame delay) auto-
matically detect 2D, 3D signal for optimized picture quality.
