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.
