A Full HD 3D Experience that Will Blow You Away! Hollywood continues to produce and release 3D movies that give us an entirely new level of dynamic realism. The PT-AE8000 Full HD 3D Home Cinema Projector was developed according to the Panasonic philosophy of providing images that mirror the director's artistic vision and intent- right in your own home. The PT-AE8000 is designed from the ground up to achieve higher basic 2D performance, and packed with unique 3D features to deliver the level of quality demanded by Hollywood professionals. The key 3D projection technologies were developed in collaboration with Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory (PHL) engineers, who have taken key roles in establishing the industry standards for 3D. This allows the PT-AE8000 to deliver both stunning 2D images and a comfortable and immersive 3D viewing experience at home. The PT-AE8000 and optional Panasonic active 3D Eyewear are finely tuned to achieve 3D viewing with Hollywood-like quality. Excellent Picture Quality High 2,400 lm of Brightness with the Advanced Red-Rich Lamp The new 220 W Red-Rich Lamp increases the luminous efficiency of the projector to achieve brighter images, even in 3D viewing, with excellent color purity. Able to produce a stunning brightness of 2,400 lm, the PT-AE8000 unleashes the beauty of 2D/3D full-HD expression for viewing on various screen sizes. Cooling efficiency for example around the polarization filters has been increased to realize the higher lumens. Color purity is further increased by applying a special coating to the red and green condenser lenses in order to trim the impurities from the light after it is separated into the three primary colors. 220 W Red-Rich Lamp Prism with polarizers Condenser lenses with special coating 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-AE8000 produces stunningly clear and beautiful images. Up to 480 Hz Compatible LCD Panels The PT-AE8000's full-HD LCD panels provide bright images with high aperture ratio. The panels are also designed for 480 Hz processing capability for bright 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 500,000:1 Contrast Ratio The Pure Contrast Plates in the PT-AE8000 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 500,000:1. Pure Color Filter Pro for Rich, Vibrant Colors The optical filter optimizes the light spectrum from the UHM projector lamp, helping to produce deeper blacks while improving purity levels in the three primary colors (red, green and blue). This advanced filter system improves color purity to cover a range that extends from the HDTV standard (Rec. 709 mode)*1 to the color gamut used in digital cinema*2. This gives images the deep, rich coloring that distinguishes movie images. Dynamic Iris Pro Adds Beauty to Both Dark and Bright Scenes This intelligent iris system works by analyzing the brightness level of each image using a histogram, then adjusting the lamp power, iris and gamma curve*3 accordingly to create the ideal image. The adjustments are made virtually frame by frame. This helps the projector achieve a wide dynamic range with swift smoothness for added beauty in both dark and bright scenes. Smooth Screen Technology Creates Film-Like Texture While many LCD projectors suffer from a "chicken wire" effect, Pan- asonic's pursuit of the highest possible image quality has suc- cessfully overcome this device limitation through the incorpora- tion of Smooth Screen technology. This uses the double refraction property of crystals to arrange pixels on a screen with no gaps between them.

Seven Picture Modes For each 2D and 3D viewing, seven different picture modes (normal, dynamic, Rec. 709, D-cinema, cinema 1, cinema 2 and game mode for reduced frame delay) are provided.
