Located in Hollywood, California, PHL has been performing research on
digital conversion of film stock, DVD video compression, and digital cinema
for a decade. Recent work has focused on the development of standards for
the next generation of optical media employing the Blu-ray Disc and
projection technology based on high-definition image compression. The
close relations between PHL and many leading Hollywood professionals
(movie studio technicians, directors, cinematographers, and colourists) and
our ongoing research played a key role in the development of the PT-AE900.

One key to enhancing picture quality is black reproduction. Panasonic
developed the new Dynamic Iris, with an expanded iris range, and a
new optical block to give the PT-AE900 deeper, richer blacks than
earlier home cinema projectors provided. By substantially expanding
the dynamic range available for expressing images, we achieved a
contrast ratio of 5500:1 along with the brightness of 1,100 lumen.
What's more, new Smooth Screen technology combined with a new
LCD panel allows the projector to reproduce smoother, more natural
looking images.
All this hard work paid off. Today the PT-AE900 is recognized as a
cinema projector suitable for professional video reproduction. It is even
used as a reference monitor on some movie sets.
