PT-AE900U
Producing stunning, superior images demands advanced technology
Producing stunning, superior images demands advanced technology
New Dynamic Iris for world's first* 5500:1 contrast ratio and
deeper, richer blacks
Dynamic Iris, with scene-tracking capability, was exclusively developed by Panasonic.
The iris range in the PT-AE900 is expanded by 30% compared to conventional models,
delivering a stunningly high contrast ratio of 5500:1 and blacks with a richness and
sharpness you'd expect to see only at the cinema.
* For an LCD projector producing 1,100 lumens or more, as of September 2005.
Cinema Color Management technology enables precise
color reproduction
Advanced color correction technology controls both contrast and brightness to
provide faithful reproduction of subtle hues. With Cinema Color Management
technology, correction of individual colors becomes possible without affecting the
colors in the surrounding parts of the picture.
New Smooth Screen technology delivers smoother and more
natural images
Producing smoother images, this technology eliminates the "chicken wire effect"
caused by black lines between pixels. This, combined with the new LCD panel of the
PT-AE900, removes the blurriness and flickering of horizontal black lines during vertical
panning.
New Dynamic Sharpness Control for crisp, natural images
Dynamic Sharpness Control adjusts the application of sharpness to neighbouring
picture elements—diagonally as well as vertically and horizontally adjacent pixels—in
response to differences in brightness. The PT-AE900 also has a newly redesigned
sharpness filter for images with even cleaner, sharper edges.

*1: The projector uses a type of liquid crystal panel that typically consists of millions of pixels. This panel is built with very high-precision technology to provide the finest possible image. Occasionally, a few pixels may remain turned on (bright) or turned off
(dark). Please note that this is an intrinsic characteristic of the manufacturing technology that affects all products using LCD technology.
*2: The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use. The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to
illuminate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.

High Definition Home Cinema Projector
Easy to set up using 2x optical zoom lens and vertical and
horizontal lens shift
The 2x optical zoom lens allows the PT-AE900 to project a 100-inch (diagonal) big
screen image from a distance of as little as 3 meters to as far as an amazing 6 meters.
Vertical and horizontal lens shift allows you to adjust the positioning of the picture by
simple joystick operation without moving the projector. Technologies such as these
can accommodate any setup layout and screen dimensions.
One remote control does it all!
The PT-AE900 comes with a learning remote control that can memorise the functions
of up to eight home theatre components. Now you can control your entire home
theatre system with a single remote.
