High Reliability & Stability, Made in Japan

A Host of Functions to Assure Stable, Long-Time Operation

High Reliability & Stability

Auto Cleaning Robot

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.

�Smoke Cut Filter

The optional ET-SFD100 Smoke Cut Filter can be mounted in place of the Auto Cleaning Robot’s tray. This optional smoke filter must be used when using the projector at events where smoke or fog is dispersed.

*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.

*2 Such as lint particles and pollen.

Liquid Cooling System

This advanced system uses a pump to circulate a cooling liquid behind the DLP™ chips to absorb heat. This Panasonic’s technology is made possible by the reflective nature of the DLP™ system which enables an airtight chip structure that minimizes image-quality loss due to dust adherence. In addition, it allows operation within a wide ambient temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 45°C (113°F)*3 and reduces operating noise to 43 dB.*4

*3 The operating temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F) when used in High-Altitude mode (1,400 m [4,593 feet] to 2,700 m [8,858 feet]). Also, if the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F) (35°C [95°F] in High-Altitude mode) when using all four lamps, the light output may be reduced approximately 30% to protect the projector.

*4 Average value at time products are shipped from the factory, in accordance with JIS X 6911:2003 data projector specifications. Measurement methods and conditions are based on Article 2 of JIS X 6911:2003 data projector specifications.

Network Function

�Web Browser Control

The PT-D12000E can be easily operated remotely over a LAN network, because it is all done using the computer’s familiar web browser. Furthermore, the projector sends an e-mail message to notify the

operator when an error has

occurred, or a lamp needs to

be replaced.

Lamp LED Indicator and Self-Diagnosis Function

The projector body is equipped with a temperature alarm LED and a burnt-lamp alarm LED (for lamps 1 to 4). In the PT-D12000E, the LEDs are visible from both front and top, so you can see it easily even if the unit is hung from the ceiling. Information

on the error is also given in the on-screen display. A self-diagnosis function is also provided. Error codes displayed on the 3-digit,

7-segment LED on the side of the projector tell the operator what the problem is.

�PJLink™ Compatibility

The LAN terminals support PJLink™ class 1 connection. Control with the same specifications is also possible when

used in a multi-projector system with projectors of another brand.

�Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Software

Panasonic’s original “Multi Projector Monitoring & Control”* freeware allows the user to control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time via LAN. When a problem occurs, an alarm message is sent to the monitoring/controlling PC.

*Available in June 2008. Please consult a sales representative if necessary.

Made in Japan

PT-D12000E projector is carefully manufactured at the Panasonic factory in Japan under strict quality control. This is another very important advantage of Panasonic projectors.
