Cinema 1 Mode Offers Hollywood Picture Quality

Panasonic worked with experts in Hollywood—the movie capital of the world—to create the ideal image reproduction for viewing movies. This allows the PT-AX200 to deliver true Hollywood picture quality, with images that faithfully express the director’s artistic intent.

Pure Color Filter

The Pure Color Filter was born from Panasonic’s pursuit of optical technology that delivers true Hollywood picture quality. The light spectrum is adjusted to produce a level of light that maximizes the performance of the LCD panels, which expands the color range and produces truer blacks.

Smooth Screen Technology

Developed exclusively by Panasonic, this effectively reduces the black lines between pixels that mar picture quality. The high- definition picture of the PT-AX200 is remarkably smooth and film-like, while remaining amazingly sharp and detailed.

Dynamic Iris

Dynamic Iris has been refined to provide deeper, richer blacks needed for true image reproduction with stunning smoothness. This technology adjusts the lamp power, iris, and gamma curve according to data obtained from frame-by-frame histogram analy- sis of the image brightness level.

Advanced Dynamic Sharpness Control

The new Advanced Dynamic Sharpness Control determines image areas that need to be sharpened at varying degrees by examining small changes in brightness levels within the image. This greatly reduces noise amplification and delivers clear and natural looking images.
