Superb Picture Quality
Dynamic Iris Pro Delivers High 50,000:1 Contrast Ratio for Deep Blacks
This intelligent iris system works by analysing the brightness level of each
image using a histogram, then adjusting the lamp power, iris and gamma

curve*
accordingly to create the ideal image. The adjustments are made
virtually frame by frame. This achieves an
astounding contrast ratio of 50,000:1, providing a
wide dynamic range with swift smoothness for
added beauty in both dark and bright scenes.
Pure Colour Filter Pro for Rich, Vibrant Colours
The optical filter optimises the light spectrum from the
UHM projector lamp, helping to produce deeper blacks
while improving purity levels in the three primary colours
(red, green and blue). This advanced filter system
improves colour purity to cover a range that extends
from the HDTV standard (Rec. 709 mode)*

gamut used in digital cinema.*
This gives images the
deep, rich colouring that distinguishes movie images.
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 fine nuances that were lost due to image compres-
sion. After a two dimensional analysis of the video signal's frequency in
each scene, the new circuit optimises the sharpness of each image portion
based on the extracted information. The resulting images have a more nat-
ural, lifelike expression than those of previous image-processing methods.
The detection of super-high-frequency image components also enables
Conventional sharpness control:
Sharpness is applied uniformly, which
can cause a halo or ring effect.
Installation Flexibility and Ease of Use
2x Optical Zoom Lens and Wide Lens Shift Range
The 2x optical zoom lens provides a wide throw
range, and the image can be shifted ±65% vertically
and ±26% horizontally. This outstanding level of setup
flexibility lets you enjoy large-screen viewing in
different-sized rooms. Position it on a table in front of
you, suspend it from the ceiling, or place it on a
bookshelf behind you.
Abundant Connection Terminals
The PT-AH1000E has two HDMI input terminals for digital transmission
without image degradation. The HDMI input terminals also support Deep
Colour and the x.v.Colour colour space of the 1.3 standard. Deep Colour
provides 10-bit (over 1.07 billion) and 12-bit (over 68.7 billion) colour
depths for smooth gradation between colours, while x.v.Colour compli-
ance reproduces natural, lifelike images.*
Two 12V triggers are provided.
Since the input and output can
be set independently (menu
selectable), they can link flexibly
with powered screens, room
lights and powered curtains.

more faithful reproduction of highly detailed information, such as the film

Motion Effect Adds Smoothness and Sharpness to Fast-Moving Scenes
This digital image processing circuit brings greater clarity and sharpness to
details, even in fast-moving scenes. The resulting images have a more nat-
ural, lifelike expression.
Waveform Monitor for Precise Calibration
When the output level of the
source device fluctuates due to
the performance of the device
or its cable connections, the
original black and white levels
of the image content cannot
be reproduced. With the
PT-AH1000E, you can view
the waveforms on the screen
and adjust the settings either
automatically or manually as
you prefer.
Split Adjust Mode for Easy Picture Adjustment
You can freeze any scene you wish, and then make adjustments while easi-
ly comparing the original image and the adjusted image side-by-side.
Advanced Gamma Adjustment Function
The gamma curve can be flexibly controlled, allowing precise calibration
according to the signal source and environment. Brightness (Y), R, G and B
can each be adjusted at any of nine points. Adjustment point positions can be
shifted both horizontally and vertically to bring out the desired gradation level.
Cinema Colour Management Premium Enables Flexible Colour Control
This colour correction system enables free colour control in two different
modes. The Point Colour Correction mode lets you pick a point in the
image and adjust that colour without affecting the neighbouring colours.
The Six Colour Correction mode enables independent adjustment of red,
green, blue, cyan, magenta and yellow.
VIERA Link for Easy Operation
The PT-AH1000E supports VIERA Link. If your home theatre system
contains VIERA Link-ready equipment, projection can be started by
using only the remote control unit of the PT-AH1000E, regardless of wheth-
er the source is a Blu-ray Disc or a TV program stored on an HD recorder.
This eliminates the need for hassling with several remote controls.*
Function Button for Instant Recall
A frequently used function can be assigned to the Function button located
on the remote for instant recall.
Eco Management Functions
A number of functions are provided to reduce power consump-
tion. They adjust the brightness according to ambient light
conditions, and reduce the lamp power when there is no signal
input or the projector is in AV Mute mode. You can easily set
the Eco Management
functions according to
operating conditions by
using the ECO button
on the remote control.
