LCD Panels Driven at 480Hz and Original Overdrive 

Technology for Bright 3D Image

The PT-AE8000 features 480Hz-driven LCD panels, which lengthen the 
time that the shutter is open about 1.5 times the duration of a 240-Hz 
drive system. Together with Panasonic’s original high-precision over-
drive technology, this improves the brightness of the images viewed 
through 3D Eyewear, while at the same time minimizing crosstalk, or 
double image seen as a result of the left image entering the right eye 
and vice versa.

3D Motion Remaster Delivers Correct, Natural 3D Movement

This new technology solves the prob-
lem caused by a phenomenon called 
the Mach-Dvorak effect, which 
occurs in many systems during 3D 
viewing. The active shutter 3D sys-
tem displays left-eye and right-eye 
images alternately. This means that 
left-eye and right-eye images that 
were captured at the same instant 
are shown with a time lag. During 
this time lag, especially when watch-
ing a scene in which an object 
moves quickly and horizontally 
across the screen, the viewer’s brain 
automatically speculates and forms 
a image at a position that differs 
from the actual shown image. This 
results in incorrect depth perception 
and makes the horizontal movement 
appear unnatural. 3D Motion Remas-
ter technology achieves smoothly 
moving 3D images by creating prop-
erly positioned images to compen-
sate for the time lag.

Dual Core Processing Engine

High-quality 2D image processing, including Frame Creation and Detail 
Clarity Processor, can be enjoyed in 3D as well, with the incorporation 
of the high-performance dual core processing engine.
 

Frame Creation 2 for Motion Blur Reduction in 3D/2D Viewing

A double-speed frame interpolation display for both 2D and 3D view-
ing, even during 2D-3D conversion, greatly improves the clarity of 
motion images, reproducing sharp and clear images for fast moving 
scenes in sports and action movies. For 24p signal input, four frames 
are calculated and interpolated for each existing frame, to enable 5x 
speed (120-Hz) display. 

2D-3D Conversion

2D to 3D image conversion is possible, with five 3D effect modes to 
select from. 

A Whole New Level of 3D Viewing

Customization and Installation Flexibility

Lens Memory for 2D/3D Viewing

Up to six settings, in 2D or 3D viewing, 
can be stored in the Lens Memory, 
including zoom and focus positions for 
projecting in the normal 16:9 or 4:3 
image ratio, and wide cinema projec-
tion settings. These memories can be 
recalled manually for 2D or 3D, or can 
be set for automatic switching in 2D. 
The projector is able to detect 2.35:1 
and 16:9 sources and retrieve the 
stored setting automatically. The Lens 
Memory function lets you easily enjoy 
images with different image ratios on a 
wide 2.35:1 screen for an immersive 
theater-like experience.

2x Optical Power Zoom/Focus and Wide Lens Shift Range

A 2x optical power zoom/focus lens and a lens shift function together 
make it possible to project a 120-inch picture from as close as 
3.6 meters (11 feet 10 inches) to the screen or as far as 7.2 meters 
(23 feet 7 inches) away. In addition, the image can be shifted ±100% 
vertically, and ±26% horizontally. This gives you outstanding setup flex-
ibility. If you choose to ceiling-mount the projector, you can zoom and 
focus by remote control.

Waveform Monitor for Precise Calibration

With the PT-AE8000 you can view the waveforms on the screen and 

adjust the settings both automatically and manually as you prefer.

Advanced Gamma Adjustment Function

The gamma curve can be flexibly controlled, allowing precise calibra-
tion according to the signal source and environment. Brightness (Y), R, 
G and B can each be adjusted at any fifteen points. Adjustment point 
positions can be shifted both horizontally and vertically to bring out 
the desired gradation level. Adjustment is easy because the small 
menu screen does not block the image.

Split Adjust Mode for Easy Picture Adjustment

You can freeze any scene you wish, and then make adjustments while 
easily comparing the original image and the adjusted image side 
by side.

Cinema Color Management Premium Enables Flexible Color 

Control

This color correction system enables free color control in two different 
modes. The Point Color Correction mode lets you pick a point in the 
image and adjust that color without affecting the neighboring colors. 
The Six Color Correction mode enables independent adjustment of red, 
green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow. Adjustment is possible for 
either 2D or 3D viewing.

Abundant Connection Terminals

š >:C?Ÿm_j^n$l$9ebehŸWdZ:[[f9ebeh

  The PT-AE8000 has three HDMI input terminals for digital transmis-

sion without image degradation. The HDMI input terminals also sup-
