Dive into the World of Full HD 3D Full HD 3D Home Cinema Projector PT-AE8000
3D Home Cinema Experience Just Got Better than Ever Advanced 3D dual-core processing engine enables high-quality 3D and 2D projection.
High 2,400 lm of Brightness with the Advanced Red-Rich Lamp The new 220 W Red-Rich Lamp increases the luminous efficiency of the projector to achieve brighter images, even in 3D viewing, with excellent color purity. Able to produce a stunning brightness of 2,400 lm, the PT-AE8000 unleashes the beauty of 2D/3D full-HD expression for view-ing on various screen sizes. Cooling efficiency for example around the polarization filters has been increased to realize the higher lumens. Color purity is further increased by applying a special coating to the red and green condenser lenses in order to trim the impurities from the light after it is separated into the three primary colors. 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-AE8000 produces stunningly clear and beautiful images. Up to 480 Hz Compatible LCD PanelsThe PT-AE8000’s full-HD LCD panels provide bright images with high aperture ratio. The panels are also designed for 480 Hz processing capability for bright 3D image. These high-precision panels use vertically aligned liquid crystal molecules with inorganic alignment layers. When no voltage is applied, the molecules are aligned perpen-dicular to the glass substrate, so there is minimal light leakage, pro-viding higher contrast. Pure Contrast Plates Deliver High 500,000:1 Contrast Ratio The Pure Contrast Plates in the PT-AE8000 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 500,000:1. Pure Color Filter Pro for Rich, Vibrant ColorsThe optical filter optimizes the light spectrum from the UHM projector lamp, helping to produce deeper blacks while improving purity levels in the three primary colors (red, green and blue). This advanced filter 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*2. This gives images the deep, rich coloring that distinguishes 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 ModesFor each 2D and 3D viewing, seven different picture modes (normal, dynamic, Rec. 709, D-cinema, cinema 1, cinema 2 and game mode for reduced frame delay) are provided. Excellent Picture Quality The PT-AE8000 and optional Panasonic active 3D Eyewear are finely tuned to achieve 3D viewing with Holly wood-like qualit y. Holly wood continues to produce and release 3D movies that give us an entirely new level of dynamic realism. The PT-AE8000 Full HD 3D Home Cinema Projector was developed according to the Panasonic philosophy of providing images that mirror the director’s ar tistic vision and intent — right in your own home. The PT-AE8000 is designed from the ground up to achieve higher basic 2D performance, and packed with unique 3D features to deliver the level of quality demanded by Holly wood professionals. The key 3D projection technologies were developed in collaboration with Panasonic Holly wood Laborator y (PHL) engineers, who have taken key roles in establishing the industr y standards for 3D. This allows the PT-AE8000 to deliver both stunning 2D images and a comfor table and immersive 3D viewing experience at home. A Full HD 3D Experience that Will Blow You Away!

LCD Panels Driven at 480Hz and Original Overdrive Technology for Bright 3D Image The PT-AE8000 features 480Hz-driven LCD panels, which lengthen the time that the shutter is open about 1.5 times the duration of a 240-Hz drive system. Together with Panasonic’s original high-precision over-drive technology, this improves the brightness of the images viewed through 3D Eyewear, while at the same time minimizing crosstalk, or double image seen as a result of the left image entering the right eye and vice versa. 3D Motion Remaster Delivers Correct, Natural 3D MovementThis new technology solves the prob-lem caused by a phenomenon called the Mach-Dvorak effect, which occurs in many systems during 3D viewing. The active shutter 3D sys-tem displays left-eye and right-eye images alternately. This means that left-eye and right-eye images that were captured at the same instant are shown with a time lag. During this time lag, especially when watch-ing a scene in which an object moves quickly and horizontally across the screen, the viewer’s brain automatically speculates and forms a image at a position that differs from the actual shown image. This results in incorrect depth perception and makes the horizontal movement appear unnatural. 3D Motion Remas-ter technology achieves smoothly moving 3D images by creating prop-erly positioned images to compen-sate for the time lag. Dual Core Processing EngineHigh-quality 2D image processing, including Frame Creation and Detail Clarity Processor, can be enjoyed in 3D as well, with the incorporation of the high-performance dual core processing engine. Frame Creation 2 for Motion Blur Reduction in 3D/2D ViewingA double-speed frame interpolation display for both 2D and 3D view-ing, even during 2D-3D conversion, greatly improves the clarity of motion images, reproducing sharp and clear images for fast moving scenes in sports and action movies. For 24p signal input, four frames are calculated and interpolated for each existing frame, to enable 5x speed (120-Hz) display. 2D-3D Conversion2D to 3D image conversion is possible, with five 3D effect modes to select from. A Whole New Level of 3D Viewing Customization and Installation Flexibility Lens Memory for 2D/3D ViewingUp to six settings, in 2D or 3D viewing, can be stored in the Lens Memory, including zoom and focus positions for projecting in the normal 16:9 or 4:3 image ratio, and wide cinema projec- tion settings. These memories can be recalled manually for 2D or 3D, or can be set for automatic switching in 2D. The projector is able to detect 2.35:1 and 16:9 sources and retrieve the stored setting automatically. The Lens Memory function lets you easily enjoy images with different image ratios on a wide 2.35:1 screen for an immersive theater-like experience. 2x Optical Power Zoom/Focus and Wide Lens Shift RangeA 2x optical power zoom/focus lens and a lens shift function together make it possible to project a 120-inch picture from as close as 3.6 meters (11 feet 10 inches) to the screen or as far as 7.2 meters (23 feet 7 inches) away. In addition, the image can be shifted ±100% vertically, and ±26% horizontally. This gives you outstanding setup flex-ibility. If you choose to ceiling-mount the projector, you can zoom and focus by remote control. Waveform Monitor for Precise CalibrationWith the PT-AE8000 you can view the waveforms on the screen and adjust the settings both automatically and manually as you prefer. Advanced Gamma Adjustment FunctionThe gamma curve can be flexibly controlled, allowing precise calibra-tion according to the signal source and environment. Brightness (Y), R, G and B can each be adjusted at any fifteen points. Adjustment point positions can be shifted both horizontally and vertically to bring out the desired gradation level. Adjustment is easy because the small menu screen does not block the image. Split Adjust Mode for Easy Picture AdjustmentYou can freeze any scene you wish, and then make adjustments while easily comparing the original image and the adjusted image side by side. Cinema Color Management Premium Enables Flexible Color Control This color correction system enables free color control in two different modes. The Point Color Correction mode lets you pick a point in the image and adjust that color without affecting the neighboring colors. The Six Color Correction mode enables independent adjustment of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow. Adjustment is possible for either 2D or 3D viewing.

PT-AE8000 Full HD 3D Home Cinema Projector Detail Clarity Processor 4 Gives Natural Clarity to Even the Finest Details This digital image processing circuit brings greater clarity and sharp-ness to details embedded in the image. After analyzing the video sig-nal frequency in each scene, the circuit optimizes the sharpness of each part of the image based on the extracted information. The result-ing images, 3D or 2D, have more natural, lifelike expression than those of previous image-processing methods. Advanced 3D Adjustment FunctionsA variety of 3D viewing adjustments also provide a more comfortable viewing experience at home. These include 3D Lens Memory, 3D zoom and focus, 3D color management, and 3D keystone correction. 3D Viewing Monitor for Adjustment of Depth-of-Field The projection size for viewing 3D images can be selected from among 9 different sizes, ranging from 40 inches to 200 inches diagonally.*4 The amount of parallax is optimized according to the projection size, so comfortable, easy-to-view 3D images can be enjoyed at any size. Either of three monitor styles can be selected. 3D Picture Balance with Waveform Monitor The projector is able to show the right and left image side by side to check if the two sides have the same colors. The difference may occur due to poor content quality. With the Waveform Monitor displayed, you can adjust the contrast, brightness, color and tint as desired, and up to three adjustment settings can be stored in memory for instant recall. Precisely Tuned 3D Projection with Optional Panasonic 3D Eyewear The PT-AE8000 uses frame sequential technology for 3D image projection. When viewing 3D content, signals from the PT-AE8000’s built-in infrared transmitter precisely control the left and right shut-ters of the active 3D Eyewear. The built-in transmitter offers maximum transmission distance of six meters (about 20 feet).*5 For more range up to ten meters (about 33 feet), an optional infrared transmitter, ET-TRM110 is available for greater installation flexibility. port Deep Color and the x.v.Color color space. Deep Color provides 10-bit (over 1.07 billion) and 12-bit (over 68.7 billion) color depths for smooth gradation between colors, while x.v.Color compliance reproduces natural, lifelike images.*6
