Since 2003, Panasonic has manufactured high quality home theater projectors in collaboration with Hollywood filmmakers and Panasonic’s Hollywood Laboratory. This partnership is instrumental in the development of projectors that deliver the image quality filmmakers intended. This is the latest projector to go through this process, having been fine-tuned to produce images as close as possible to directors’ original intentions
Red Rich Lamp and Contrast
The Panasonic PT-AT6000E features a new 220W Red Rich Lamp delivering 2,400 lumens for bright, vibrant images. Combined with Pure Contrast Plates that match the LCD panel characteristics and minimize light leakage, as well as Pure Color Filter Pro and Dynamic Iris, the projector achieves an astonishing 500,000:1 contrast ratio. This ensures deep blacks, rich colors, and impressive detail across all content.
3D Motion Remaster and IR Transmitter
The PT-AT6000E improves upon its predecessor by reducing crosstalk and delivering 20 percent brighter images for comfortable 3D viewing. Its 3D Motion Remaster interpolates images between alternating left and right frames for smooth, continuous, and accurately positioned 3D visuals. The built-in IR transmitter synchronizes with active shutter 3D glasses up to 20 feet, while an optional transmitter extends the range to 33 feet, giving flexible installation options.
3D Viewing Monitor and Picture Balance
Customizable 3D Viewing Monitor and 3D Picture Balance features allow users to adjust 3D content for optimal viewing comfort. The 3D Viewing Monitor shows the parallax safety zone for each screen size, while Picture Balance enables side-by-side adjustment of color, contrast, and brightness for the left and right eye images.
Detail Clarity Processor 4 and Frame Creation 2
Detail Clarity Processor 4 and Frame Creation 2 have been optimized for 3D, producing finely detailed images and maintaining sharpness in fast-moving scenes. Frame Creation 2 is also available during 2D-3D conversion, enhancing motion smoothness and image clarity for all content types. The AE6000’s advanced processing ensures excellent 2D performance as well.
Lens Shift and Installation Flexibility
With a 2x zoom lens and wide lens shift range, the projector can project a 120-inch diagonal screen from 11.8 to 23.6 feet. Vertical adjustment of +/-100% and horizontal of +/-26% allow ceiling or wall mounting without compromising image quality. Intelligent Lens Memory automatically adjusts for 2.35:1 aspect ratio Blu-ray content, switching lens and focus positions as needed.
Advanced Gamma and Split Adjust
The Advanced Gamma Adjustment lets users calibrate brightness (YRGB) across 15 points, while Split Adjust mode allows side-by-side comparison with the original image for precise adjustments. These tools provide meticulous control over gamma curves and overall image tone, ensuring faithful reproduction of content as intended by the director.
Connectivity and Home Theatre Integration
The AT6000E is equipped with three HDMI inputs supporting Deep Color and x.v.Color™, along with two 12V triggers for automation of lighting and motorized screens. VIERA Link® enables seamless operation of multiple compatible Panasonic devices using the projector’s remote, integrating easily into an advanced home theatre setup.
