Panasonic Adds to Top of Range

 Panasonic launches PT-D12000 and PT-DZ12000, a pair of hi res projectors for the top of the range.

Panasonic’s brightest projector in the range at 12,000 lumens, with WUXGA 1920x1200 resolution, these projectors serve both rental and permanent installations, particularly for venues where high ambient light creates a problem.

The PT-DZ12000 offers a wide screen image-viewing alternative for business apps where widescreen laptops are the norm. Full-HD res enables the projection of highly detailed images.

It features a four 300-watt AC lamp optical system reducing maintenance intervals and allowing the projector to work after any one lamp needs replacing. Part of Panasonic’s ongoing environment program, the four original-technology high efficient UHM AC lamps and the new lamp drive ballast system allow 7.5 lumen/watt and consume only 1600w (about half the power consumption of some models from competitors).

A new liquid cooling system cools each chip individually to reduce noise, and a special auto-cleaning robot and double-filter structure provides 2000 hours of use without filter maintenance.

The projector’s geometric control software enables curved and cylindrical surfaces to be projected on seamlessly. This can also be controlled simply through remote control, perfect for live environments where immediate set up is vital.
