Panasonic’s home theatre projector aims to produce images that mirror the director’s artistic vision and intent. Consequently, the key 3D projection technologies were developed in collaboration with Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory engineers, who are heavily engaged in creation of 3D Blu-ray discs and have taken key roles in establishing the industry standards for 3D.
The projector comes equipped with a built-in 3D IR transmitter that lets you enjoy large-screen 3D images with the same optional eyewear (Sold separately. TY-EW3D10E, TY-EW3D2LE, TY-EW3D2ME, TY-EW3D2SE) that is used for the Panasonic VIERA 3DTV, convenient for those looking to enjoy 3D in both their TV and projector. An optional IR transmitter (ET-TRM110) is also available for extended transmission distance. Other 3D features include the 2D-3D Conversion, which converts 2D content into 3D images for 3D projection with five different 3D effect modes.
The PT AE7000 is also equipped with three HDMI™ inputs (supporting x.v.Colour™ and Deep Colour), so multiple HD sources can be connected without an HDMI switcher. Initial setup and installation are quick and easy, because the 2x zoom can cast a 120-inch diagonal image from 3.6 metres (about 11 feet) to 7 metres (24 feet) from the screen. The projector’s lens shift capability enables 100 percent vertical adjustment and 26 percent horizontal adjustment so the user can suspend the projector either close to the ceiling or mount it to a wall
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 comprising 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 balance from the center to the edges of the screen. As a result, the PT-AE7000 produces stunningly clear and beautiful images.
New up to 480-Hz Compatible LCD Panels
The PT-AE7000’s Full-HD LCD panels provide more brightness with higher aperture ratio. The panels are also designed for 480Hz processing capability for brighter 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 perpendicular to the glass substrate, so there is minimal light leakage, providing higher contrast.
Pure Contrast Plates Deliver High 300,000:1 Contrast Ratio
The Pure Contrast Plates in the PTAE7000 use a high-precision crystalline material that is carefully matched to the characteristics of the LCD panels to effectively correct the passage of light exiting the panels.
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 300,000:1.
