Detail Clarity Processor 3 Gives Natural 
Clarity to Even the Finest Details

This digital image processing 
circuit brings greater clarity 
and sharpness to details, by 
reproducing fi ne nuances that were lost due 
to image compression. After a two dimen-
sional analysis of the video signal’s frequency 
in each scene, the new circuit optimizes the 
sharpness of each image portion based on the 
extracted information. The resulting images 
have a more natural, lifelike expression than 
those of previous image-processing methods. 
The detection of super-high-frequency im-
age components also enables more faithful 
reproduction of highly detailed information, 
such as the 
fi lm grain in 
movies. The 
effect can be 
adjusted in 
nine steps 
from 0 to +7.

Frame Creation 2 Featuring Motion Blur 
Reduction

A double-speed display (120 Hz or 100 Hz) 
greatly improves the clarity of motion images. 
Frame Creation interpolates one new frame 
for each existing frame by analyzing the char-
acteristics of the adjacent frames to repro-
duce sharp and clear images for fast moving 

scenes in sports and action movies. For 24p 
signal input, three frames are calculated and 
interpolated for each existing frame, to en-
able 4x speed (96-Hz) display. There are four 
modes (mode 1, mode 2, mode 3, and off) to 
choose from. The effect is more pronounced 
as you ascend through the modes, to provide 
crisp, clear images to your liking. 

Waveform Monitor for Precise Calibration

When the out-
put level of the 
source device 
fl uctuates due 
to the perfor-
mance of the 
device or its ca-
ble connections, 
t h e   o r i g i n a l 
black and white levels of the image content 
cannot be reproduced. With the PT-AE4000U 
you can view the waveforms on the screen 
and adjust the settings both automatically 
and manually as you prefer. 
   

16 Bit Gamma Correction for Natural 
Gradations

The PT-AE4000U handles up to 16-bit (full 
12-bit) digital image processing. It faithfully 
reproduces even subtle hues and brightness 
variations. 

Advanced Gamma Adjustment Function

The gamma curve can be fl exibly controlled, 
allowing precise calibration according to the 
signal source and environment. Brightness 
(Y), R, G and B can each be adjusted at any 
nine points.  Adjustment point positions can 
be shifted both horizontally and vertically to 
bring out the desired gradation level.

New Cinema Color Management Premi-
um 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 with-
out affecting the neighboring colors, so it is 
easy to get just the right color equalization in 
hue, luminance and saturation. The Six Color 
Correction mode enables independent ad-
justment of red, green, blue, cyan, magenta 
and yellow.

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. 

The remarkable advancement of the 

PT-AE4000U refl ects in its uncompromising 

signal processing system. Carefully matched 

to its new optical system, this advanced signal 

processing brings incredible, full-HD clarity to 

image details.
