Panasonic PT-AE7000: first 3D projector to use a 480Hz transparent LCD panel system

The first Panasonic Full HD 3D video projector for professional and home theater applications offers a contrast ratio of 300.000:1, 2.000 lumens, and a 1080p resolution (1920 x 1080 pixelated) both in 2D and 3D.

Panasonic now has the new PT-AE7000 Full HD 3D projector for professional and home theater applications. It is a high-performance, high-specification device that offers high-definition images with 1080p resolution. (1920×1080 pixelated) both in 2D and 3D. The PT-AE7000 has been developed in conjunction with engineers at the Panasonic Hollywood Laboratory, who are fully immersed in Full HD 3D video technology, since they are in charge of authoring and mastering projects for 3D Blu-ray discs. They have played key roles in setting 3D standards to bring the big screen experience to the home theater.. Thanks to joint efforts, The PT-AE7000 has been designed from the ground up for greater basic 2D performance and equipped with professional-grade functions and features for 3D content within the reach of the end user.. transparent LCD The PT-AE7000 is the first 3D projector in the world to use a transparent LCD panel system that operates at 480Hz, which combined with Overdrive technology, original de Panasonic, presents a significant reduction in the interference known as crosstalk (blurred or diffuse images due to invasion between the left and right fields that cause the loss of the 3D effect of depth and volume). The optical system, specially developed for this projector, presents a new 200W lamp (200W Red Rich Lamp) and a new LCD panel with a wider aperture range to increase luminance in red tones and achieve greater brightness. The combination of pure contrast plates, the professional pure color filter and the professional dynamic iris, result in a contrast range of 300,000:1 y 2,000 brightness lumens. This produces brighter images with excellent color and deeper blacks with fine shadow details.. For 3D image projection the PT-AE7000 uses sequential frame technology, The Overdrive function has been carefully combined with the 480Hz LCD panel that significantly reduces the crosstalk or double images effect for more comfortable viewing of 3D content. The projector is also equipped with a dual core processor, allowing 3D signals to be processed with all the benefits of 2D image enhancements. Innovative image processing technologies like Frame Creation (Frame Creation 2) and Clarity in Detail (Detail Clarity Processor 3), among others, were optimized for both 3D and 2D images, highlighting fine details and three-dimensionality for real and natural visualizations with great clarity and sharpness, in high speed scenes such as sports and action movies. 3D adjustments 3D Monitor and 3D Image Balance functions adjust for a more comfortable viewing experience, since the third dimension effect changes depending on the screen size. The first ensures that the stereoscopic effect observed by the user is within the safety zone established by the 3D Consortium Committee. Left eye and right eye images can be displayed together by the PT-AE7000 projector thanks to the individual waveform monitor that adjusts the 3D image balance. Other 3D functions include the conversion of content that is originally 2D to a third-dimensional projection., thanks to five different 3D Effect Modes. 3D glasses The projector has a built-in 3D infrared transmitter (3D IR) that allows the user to enjoy 3D images on a big screen, with active glasses sold separately. The glasses also used for VIERA 3D televisions, They are designed for users who want to enjoy content on both a television and a Panasonic video projector.. Additionally, ET-TRM110 transmitter is available to extend transmission range. More about the optical system One of the features that meets the demands of users who want to customize their home theater systems is Smart Lens Memory (Intelligent Lens Memory), which makes it possible to easily program and save up to six different zoom/focus lens positions. Making it possible for the image size (2.35:1) seen in movie theaters and that many of today's Blu-ray and DVD players feature, matches the screen aspect displayed by the projector. The automatic adjustment between 16:9 y 2.35:1 It is also possible thanks to the aspect signal detection capacity of the equipment.. Connectivity and automation The video projector is equipped with three HDMI inputs, (x.v.Color and Deep Color compatible) allowing you to connect multiple HD sources without the need for an HDMI distributor, one RGB input, three component RCAs, one RCA for Video In, one Super Video terminal and one more for Serial cable. It also offers the Viera Link function to achieve connectivity of multiple compatible Panasonic devices using the projector's remote control., featuring backlit buttons. The automation of lighting or the automatic deployment of the motorized screen cannot be left out, so the PT-AE7000 incorporates two 12volt trigger type terminals. Shooting and placement Initial setup and installation are quick and easy because the 2x zoom lens can display images of 120 inches diagonal at a distance from the screen (or projection surface) from among 3.6 y 7 metros. Lens mount allows for adjustment 100% vertical y 26% horizontal, Therefore the user can place the projector suspended from the ceiling or a wall. Power consumption The PT-AE7000 is an environmentally friendly product. Its intelligent energy management system reduces lamp consumption to the required brightness level, depending on the content and images that are being projected. Panasonic's advanced digital circuitry intelligently determines the power required by analyzing 3 billions of different image patterns. This advanced process reduces primary energy consumption by 10% when the Dynamic Iris function is in operation and thus saves electricity. To avoid waste of electrical energy, the projector incorporates an auto-off timer and the minimum consumption in standby mode is only 0.08 watts. Lamp life reaches 4 thousand hours (normal mode) y 5 mil (eco mode).
