Made by Panasonic. Tuned by Hollywood.
The new PT-AE900U is a native high-definition home theater
projector that produces stunning, film-like images with a
dramatic 5500:1 contrast ratio.
Capable of displaying ultra-sharp, ultra-clear HD pictures up to
14.5-feet wide, the PT-AE900U is equipped with advanced, new
digital picture-enhancing features allowing you to enjoy
"Hollywood picture quality" in the comfort of your own home.
The PT-AE900U offers a host of image optimizing features
including a new Dynamic Iris optical system that extends the
iris range by 30% for a breathtaking 5500:1 contrast ratio.
Dynamic Iris, with scene tracking capability, constantly adjusts
the light volume and gamma curve in real time, so the picture is
always optimal and transitions between scenes are amazingly
smooth and natural. The PT-AE900U is also outfitted with new
Smooth Screen technology that effectively eliminates the "screen
door effect" (visible spacing between pixels) and gives the
projector a sharp, detailed HD picture that is remarkably smooth
and film-like.
The PT-AE900U's acclaimed Cinema Color Management (CCM)
technology controls both contrast and brightness to provide
faithful reproduction of even subtle hues, moving color
correction closer to the process used for motion pictures. With
CCM, individual correction of more than 1 billion colors is
possible. CCM technology also lets users choose from among seven
preset picture modes, in which the contrast, brightness and
gamma levels are adjustable making it easy to select the optimal
settings for any source material. These seven, expertly-crafted
pre-set picture modes, including Hollywood Cinema 1 customized
by leading Hollywood colorist David Bernstein for watching
movies, allows the use to best match his source material.
The projector's Dynamic Sharpness Control automatically adjusts
video signal enhancement based on the difference in brightness
of adjacent pixels, largely eliminating noise amplification and
delivering clearer, more natural-looking images. The PT-AE900U
also features a redesigned sharpness filter that enhances the
reproduction of fine detail along objects' edges.
Unsurpassed Flexibility Assures Convenient Setup and
Operation
The brighter, 1100-lumens PT-AE900U is equipped with three 16:9
native, 1,280 x 720 pixel (2.76 million effective pixels) HD LCD
panels that produce a phenomenal picture quality and beautifully
saturated colors even in well-lit rooms. The model's 2X optical
zoom lens allows image size adjustment to accommodate any room
layout or screen size. For instance, the PT-AE900U can project a
100-inch picture from a distance of less than 10-feet or from a
distance of more than 19 feet. A joystick-controlled optical
system permits easy vertical and horizontal lens shift to enable
the user to adjust the screen easily without having to move the
actual projector, and without distorting the on-screen image.
To accommodate virtually any home electronic device, the
PT-AE900U supports a full range of input sources, including DVD
and video players, PCs and game machines. An HDMI input provides
compatibility with HD digital sources, while component video
input terminals deliver full-quality, detailed images from
high-end, progressive-scan DVD players. The PC IN terminal can
be connected to a game machine or PC. Other terminals include
composite and S-video, as well as a serial terminal for
connecting a touch panel controller or similar device.
Other picture-enhancing features include:
10-bit digital processing and 10-bit gamma
correction that accurately reproduces subtle changes in
brightness and hue and quadruples the number of displayable
colors to more than 1 billion with over 1024 gradations
Projector AI that automatically adjusts
lamp brightness to the optimum level to match the
characteristics of the picture in real time
Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 pull down)
that automatically detects an input signal from filmed material,
and creates an optimum progressive scan processing method to
assure faithful reproduction of the original image
New to the PT-AE900U is a universal "learning" remote control
that can memorize the functions of up to eight home theater
components (both Panasonic products and products from other
manufacturers) so you can control an entire home theater system
with a single remote.
Other key features include an operating noise level as low as
25dB, memory-storage of up three sets of picture adjustment
settings; a 16-language on-screen menu; and manual zoom and
focus.
