HIGH DEFINITION HOME CINEMA PROJECTOR PT-AE700

quality with lifelike images

Extremely detailed, lifelike images thanks to advanced technology and functionality

Smooth Screen technology

Smooth Screen technology effectively reduces the “chicken wire	For film-like realism
effect”—the black lines between pixels that mar the images of
conventional LCD home cinema projectors. The high-definition
picture of the PT-AE700 is remarkably smooth and film-like, and at

the same time amazingly sharp and detailed.

NEW TECHNOLOGY AND FEATURES DELIVER

Other features

10-bit full digital processing and 10-bit gamma correction

Accurate reproduction of subtle variations in brightness or hue is realized using 10-bit full digital processing and 10-bit gamma correction, which quadruple the number of displayable colours to over 1 billion (with 1,024 gradations).

New Dynamic Sharpness Control

The new Dynamic Sharpness Control circuit adjusts the video signal waveforms based on the difference in brightness of adjacent pixels for a sharp, clear picture that is relatively unaffected by signal noise.

Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 Pulldown) and HD IP

Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 Pulldown) interlace/progressive conversion technology automatically detects when the input signal is derived from filmed

material. HD IP enables the AE700 to convert signals recorded at a higher quality than conventional models.

Wide, high-definition LCD panel for sharp, detailed images

A wide 1280x720 pixels high-definition LCD panel generates the sharp images of PT-AE700. Its three-layer construction realizes 2.76 million pixels, giving a beautifully detailed picture of exceptional fidelity—especially from superior video sources such as high definition digital satellite/terrestrial broadcasts.

New UMP Lamp delivers 1,000 lumens

The new UHM lamp delivers a superb brightness of 1,000 lumens. Enjoy beautiful pictures that are not affected by ambient lighting.

FILM PICTURE QUALITY WITH

Applying the latest technologies to get closer to the artistic sense of a top Hollywood colourist

In the movie world, each creator has a personal definition of the perfect image. During development of the PT-AE700, to realize an image on screens at home true to the intentions of all creators, Panasonic consulted with top Hollywood colourist Mr. David Bernstein. Panasonic developed and equipped the PT-AE700 with new, unique integrated cinema quality circuitry and core image optimizers to meet the strict demands of colourists. We incorporated into the PT-AE700 the artistic creativity of David Bernstein, who has an unrivaled sense of picture-quality colour coordination. Thereby was born the PT-AE700, an LCD projector with a stunning picture reproduction that is truly worthy of the accolade "Hollywood picture quality."

David Bernstein is a top Hollywood colorist, referred to as a “Golden Eye,“ whose expertise is evident in the telecine* process for numerous successful films. David Bernstein is featured courtesy of Ascent Media.
