Panasonic Solutions Company, provider of collaboration,
information-sharing and decision-support solutions for government
and commercial enterprises, today announced the PT-AE7000U, its
first Full HD 3D home theater projector with 1080p (1,920 x 1,080
pixel) resolution. The PT-AE7000U is also the world’s first*1 3D
projector to use transparent LCD panels driven at 480Hz that,
combined with Panasonic’s original Overdrive Technology, realize
significantly low crosstalk. Thanks to the newly-developed optical
engine, which produces an incredible 300,000:1 contrast ratio and
2,000 lumens of brightness, the PT-AE7000U delivers both stunning
2D images and a comfortable and immersive 3D viewing experience at
home.
“When we create our projectors, our goal is to produce images
that mirror movie directors’ artistic vision and intent,” said Art
Rankin, director of Projectors and Higher Education Sector at
Panasonic Solutions Company. “The PT-AE7000U’s key 3D projection
technologies were developed in collaboration with Panasonic
Hollywood Laboratory engineers who are heavily engaged in the
authoring and mastering of 3D Blu-ray Discs™. They have taken key
roles in establishing the industry standards for 3D and bringing
the experience from large screens to homes. Through this joint
effort, the PT-AE7000U has been redesigned from the ground up to
achieve higher basic 2D performance and is packed with unique 3D
features to deliver studio-grade 3D content to the consumer.”
The optical system of the PT-AE7000U features a new 200-Watt
Red-Rich Lamp and new LCD panels with larger aperture ratio for
increased red luminance and brightness output. The combination of
fully-optimized Pure Contrast Plates, Pure Color Filter Pro and
Dynamic Iris Pro has resulted in a 300,000:1 contrast ratio and
2,000 lumens of brightness. This produces brighter images with
excellent coloring and deep blacks with fine shadow details.
The PT-AE7000U uses frame sequential technology for 3D image
projection. The Overdrive Technology has been carefully tuned
together with the 480Hz LCD Panel that greatly reduces 3D
crosstalk, or double images, for comfortable 3D content viewing.
The projector is also equipped with a newly-developed dual-core
processing engine so that the projector can process 3D signals with
all of the benefits of 2D image enhancements. Frame Creation,
Detail Clarity Processor and other innovative image processing
technologies are optimized for 3D images in the same manner as for
2D images. They bring out fine details and three dimensionality for
natural, life-like visuals with excellent clarity, and create
sharp, clear images of fast-moving scenes in sports and action
movies.
Comfortable 3D viewing can also be adjusted with the 3D Viewing
Monitor and the 3D Picture Balance features. Because the 3D effect
changes with varying screen sizes, the 3D Viewing Monitor ensures
that the viewer’s stereoscopic effect is within the safety zone set
forth by the 3D Consortium Committee. The left and right eye images
can be displayed side by side on the PT-AE7000U with the individual
Waveform Monitor to adjust 3D picture balance.
Other 3D features include 2D-3D Conversion, which converts 2D
content into 3D images for 3D projection with five different 3D
effect modes.
The projector is equipped with a built-in 3D IR transmitter that
lets the user enjoy large-screen 3D images with optional eyewear,
which is sold separately. The models, TY-EW3D10U, TY-EW3D2LU,
TY-EW3D2MU and TY-EW3D2SU, also used for the Panasonic VIERA 3DTV,
are convenient for those looking to enjoy 3D content on both their
Panasonic TVs and projectors. An optional IR transmitter
(ET-TRM110) is available for extended transmission distance.
The PT-AE7000U comes rich with features for those looking to
customize their home theaters. Many Blu-ray Discs and DVDs come in
aspect ratios that are even wider than the projector’s 16:9 aspect
ratio to match the image size (2.35:1) seen in movie theaters. The
projector’s Intelligent Lens Memory feature makes it possible for
the user to easily program up to six different zoom/focus
positions. Automatic switching between 16:9 and 2.35:1 video
content is also possible thanks to the signal aspect detection
capability on the PT-AE7000U.
More theater automation, such as lighting and a motorized
screen, is possible with the PT-AE7000U because it comes equipped
with two programmable 12-volt trigger terminals and VIERA Link®.
VIERA Link® provides seamless operation of multiple VIERA Link®
compatible Panasonic devices by using the PT-AE7000U remote control
with backlit buttons.
The PT-AE7000U is also equipped with three HDMI™ inputs
(supporting x.v.Color™ and Deep Color), 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 as close as 3.6 meters (about 11 feet)
to 7 meters (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.
In addition to its outstanding features, the new PT-AE7000U is
also an eco-conscious product. Its intelligent power management
system reduces the lamp power to the exact required level of
brightness depending on the content being displayed. Advanced
Panasonic digital circuitry intelligently determines the necessary
power output by analyzing more than 3 billion different image
patterns. This advanced analysis process reduces the main power
consumption by as much as 10 percent when the Dynamic Iris function
is operating, thus saving energy.
Other ecological considerations include an off-timer that
reduces wasteful power consumption, an extremely low standby power
consumption of 0.08 watts, and a 4,000 hour (normal mode)/5,000
hour (eco mode) lamp life.
The Panasonic PT-AE7000U Full HD 3D home theater projector is
made in Japan and will be available in September 2011, through
authorized Panasonic resellers, at an MSRP of $3,499.00.
