Waveform Monitor
The PT-AE1000U gives home consumers a pro-
jector with the kind of waveform monitor used in
equipment for professionals. This function dis-
plays waveforms to show how the PT-AE1000U
has adjusted the images of the input signals
sent from the source device. In cases where the
output level of the source device fluctuates, you
can view the waveform on the screen and adjust
the image brightness and contrast to match
standard levels. In cases where the characteris-
tics of the output signal from the source device
are distorted, viewing the waveform can make it
easier for you to adjust the picture so it looks
just the way the director intended.
Cinema Color Management (CCM)
This is an innovative color correction system that
enables free control of colors with CCM technol-
ogy. You can adjust one color without affecting
the neighboring colors. This makes it easier to
achieve just the right color equalization in hue,
luminance and saturation.
User Equalizing Function
Incorporating Cinema Color Management tech-
nology, the PT-AE1000U has a user equalizing
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. The PT-
AE1000U features a broader adjustment range
than earlier models and control screens that are
more legible and easy to use. This makes cus-
tomizing the picture fun and provides profession-
al results. You can even store up to three sets of
adjustment settings in memory for use any time.
Built-In Test Pattern
For quick and easy
adjustment of zoom and
focus, two test patterns
are built-in.

You can easily achieve standard black and
white levels while monitoring the lumi-
nance signal component on the screen.
You can also monitor the exact signal component that you
want—for the full screen or for any desired horizontal line.
You can display the luminance (Y), red (R), green (G), or
blue (B) component for the full screen, or for a single line.
And you can adjust the levels for the full screen.
