New Dynamic Sharpness Control

Conventional projectors emphasize sharpness without regard for

differences in brightness. This can cause a halo or “ringing” effect around the edges of objects, reducing their perceived three- dimensionality. Dynamic Sharpness Control automatically detects the brightness around the target pixels as scenes change. It prevents the application of unnecessary sharpness to pixels with large changes in the brightness level. Sharpness is only added to pixels with small changes in brightness level. The application of sharpness is adjusted for diagonally adjoining pixels as well as vertically and horizontally adjacent pixels. This largely eliminates noise amplification and delivers clearer, more natural looking images. The PT-AE900 also features a newly redesigned sharpness filter that further enhances the reproduction of fine detail along the

edges of objects. Conventional Product PT-AE900

HIGH DEFINITION HOME CINEMA

Seven picture modes and user equalising function

Seven preset picture modes let you select at the touch of a button

the picture characteristics to best match the source material.

Picture mode Cinema 1 was supervised by David Bernstein, a

leading Hollywood colourist. Incorporating CCM technology,

the PT-AE900 has a user equalising function that lets you decide

precisely how images look on your screen. In each of the seven

preset picture modes, the high, mid, and low gamma levels are

adjustable, resulting in a total of 34,391 possible picture quality

setting combinations. The PT-AE900 features a broader adjustment

range than earlier models and control screens that are more legible

and easy to use. This makes customizing the picture fun and

provides professional results. You can even store up to three sets of

adjustment settings in memory for use any time. Now it is easy to

select the best picture settings for any source material, whether

movies, live music, or sports events.

10-bit full digital processing

10-bit full digital processing is used for the processing of the video signal from the input to the output. This enables the PT-AE900 to display 1,070,000,000 colours (1,024 gradations), so subtle variations in brightness or hue are reproduced with beautiful accuracy. Furthermore, gamma correction is applied separately to the red, green, and blue signals, allowing for ultra- fine adjustment of the picture quality with a high precision of 0.01%.

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 PT- AE900 to convert signals recorded at a higher quality than was possible with conventional models.

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

A wide 1,280x720-pixel, high-definition, LCD panel generates the sharp images of the PT-AE900. Its three-layer construction realizes 2.76 million pixels, providing a beautifully detailed picture of exceptional fidelity—especially from superior video sources such as high definition digital broadcasts.

UMP Lamp delivers 1,100 lumens

Developed by Panasonic expressly for superior colour reproduction, the UHM lamp delivers a brightness of 1,100 lumens. Enjoy beautiful pictures that are not affected by ambient lighting.
