Panasonic’s innovative 4-lamp optical system uses newly developed 300-watt AC lamps to deliver remarkable 12,000-lumen brightness. The 4-lamp system means superb reliability too – the projector keeps working even if one lamp goes out. A full 24 hours of continuous operation is possible in Lamp Relay mode.

* The values above are maximum values when all 4 lamps are replaced simultaneously, and when they are used in cycles of being turned on for 3.5 hours and off for 0.5 hour. When the lamps are turned on and off more frequently, the lamp replacement cycle is shortened. (It is recommended that the mechanical shutter be used to turn images off for a short period.)

Exclusive to Panasonic, this new image-processing circuit analyzes the video signal frequency range for each scene by extracting data on the distribution of high, mid, and low-frequency components, and brings out fine details accordingly. The resulting images have a more natural, three dimensional appearance with crisp, clear detail.

Screen visibility is lower when a projector is used during daylight hours or in a room with lights on. Panasonic’s System Daylight View circuit compensates for these brighter environments, so that images are crisp, clear and easy to see no matter what the conditions are.

Panasonic&s Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a remarkable 5,000:1 contrast without lowering the 12,000-lumen brightness. It helps reproduce deeper, richer blacks and gives images more detailed textures.

Some people like to view large-screen images from relatively close up to get the maximum viewing impact. But at close range, the colours perceived by the human eye tend to differ slightly from the original colours. The 3D Colour Management System solves this problem by enabling fine adjustment of colours so they appear faithful to the originals when projected onto a large screen.

Use of a full 10-bit picture processing system helps achieve smooth tonal expression. Complexions and other flesh tones look natural and true-to-life, with accurate gradation.

Just add an ET-MD100SD4 expansion board and the projector supports Dual Link HD-SDI signals. HD-SDI signals use two cables to achieve twice the colour resolution of the conventional single link system.

Panasonic’s Auto Cleaning Robot automatically cleans the air filter to help keep the projector running smoothly. When the projector is switched on,^*1 the robot uses a brush to clear away any dust adhering to the filter, helping to prevent clogs that can impair operation or cause malfunctions. The projector can be used for around 2,000 hours before the filter needs to be cleaned, making it a good choice for installation in tight spaces or for ceiling-mounted applications. Also, the Micro-Cut Air Filter traps particles as small as 10 microns.^*2 This greatly reduces the amount of dust entering the projector, helping maintain high brightness and stable operation.

^*1 Cleaning time can be set by a timer from 00:00 to 23:50 in 10-minute intervals, or controlled manually. The cleaning process is done only once per 24 hours. When the set time is reached, the cleaning process will begin if the projector is on or in cooling mode.

This function enables adjustment of images for projection onto spherical, cylindrical and other specially shaped screens. You can make the adjustment easily using just the remote control, with no external equipment needed. Used together with the multi-screen support system, the Geometric Adjustment expands your application possibilities, letting you create a wide range of image effects at concerts, performances and other special events.

• Edge blending

The edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their luminance controlled. For example, the adjoining edges in a 2-screen system can be blended to create a smooth, seamless image.

• Colour matching

When several units are used together, this function corrects for slight variations in the colour reproduction range of individual projectors. The PC software assures easy, accurate control. Independent, 7-axis adjustment (red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, white) ensures high precision colours and minimizes colour variations.

• Multi-screen processor

The PT-DZ12000E can project large, multi-screen images without any additional equipment. Up to 100 units (10 x 10) can be edge-blended at a time.

* Image uniformity over the entire screen may be adversely affected by the type of screen used or the lamp mode selected. Also, due to differences in the manner in which the lamp brightness decreases with time, some fluctuation may appear in overall screen brightness. When this occurs, the unit must be readjusted, which is a service that is offered for a fee. For details, please contact the store where you purchased the product, or a sales representative.

Flexible mounting allows a 360° vertical rotation range*. Dramatic showroom displays can be achieved by projecting directly downward or upward.

* A special fixture must be attached to the lamp unit when the projector is placed at an angle within ±45° (downward) of the vertical.

* The horizontal range is ±15°.
