In the movie world, each creator has a personal definition of the perfect image. During development of the PT-AE900, to realize an image on screens at 

home true to the intentions of the creator, Panasonic worked with David Bernstein, a leading Hollywood colorist. Panasonic developed and equipped the 

PT-AE900 with new, unique integrated cinema quality circuitry and core image optimizers to meet the strict demands of colorists. We incorporated into 

the PT-AE900 the artistic creativity of David Bernstein, who has an unrivalled sense of picture-quality color coordination. Thereby was born the PT-AE900, 

an LCD projector with excellent picture reproduction that is truly worthy to be called "Hollywood picture quality."

Applying the latest technologies to get closer to the artistic sense of a top Hollywood colorist

David Bernstein is a top Hollywood colorist whose expertise is evident in the telecine* process for numerous successful films.
* Telecine: The process of transferring a film to video.

At  one  point  during  the  development  process,  the  PT-AE900  was  sent  to 

Hollywood.  At  the  Panasonic  Hollywood  Laboratory,  fine  tuning  was  done  to 

enhance  the  picture  quality.  Over  several  months,  we  worked  with  a  team  of 

specialists  from  the  motion  picture  industry,  making  a  series  of  minute 

adjustments  to  the  projector's  image  reproduction  system.  We  wanted  to  bring 

the  excitement  of  the  cinema  to  the  home  and  reproduce  faithfully  the  picture 

quality  intended  by  the  moviemakers.  These  were  ideals  we  could  only  achieve 

with  the  collaboration  of  professionals  having  experience  in  actual  movie 

production.  Several  cinematographers,  the  people  responsible  for  making  sure 

the  images  in  a  film  look  exactly  as  the  director  intended,  as  well  as  David 

Bernstein,  who  has  worked  as  a  postproduction  colorist  on  telecine  video 

transfers  of  many  outstanding  films,  played  an  important  role  in  bringing  a  new 

level of visual expressiveness to the PT-AE900.
