Cinema Colour Management technology

The colour correction system, Cinema Colour Management (CCM), was developed to enable free control of colours and has a proven track record. Previously, it had been difficult to reflect the colourist’s intentions, because correcting one colour affected certain others. With CCM technology, individual correction of

approximately 1,070,000,000 colours without affecting other colours became possible. Colour control usually includes control of contrast, but CCM technology goes even further and controls brightness too. Incorporating CCM moves colour correction closer to the process used for motion pictures.

New Smooth Screen technology

Other LCD home cinema projectors can suffer from the “chicken wire effect”—black lines between pixels that mar the smoothness of the images. New Smooth Screen technology, developed exclusively by Panasonic, virtually eliminates this problem by providing the high contrast ratio and other improvements that complement the new LCD panel of the PT- AE900. Also, blurriness and flickering have been removed during vertical panning, giving the PT-AE900 a sharp and detailed high- definition picture that is remarkably smooth and realistic.
