New AC Lamp and Multi-Lamp System
Panasonic’s innovative 4-lamp optical system uses newly developed
300-watt AC lamps to deliver remarkable 10,000-lumen brightness. The
4-lamp system means superb reliability too – the projector keeps working even if one lamp goes out. 24/7 continuous operation is possible in Lamp Relay mode.
Lamp replacement cycle and brightness guidelines
| Light output | Lamp |
Lamp mode | replacement cycle |
| (lumens) | (hours) |
Four lamps | 10,000 | 2,000 |
Three lamps | 7,500 | 2,600 |
Two lamps | 5,000 | 4,000 |
One lamp | 2,500 | 8,000 |

*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.)
Dynamic Iris
Panasonic’s Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a remarkable 5,000:1 contrast at 10,000-lumen brightness. It helps reproduce deeper, richer blacks and gives images more detailed textures.
3D Color Management System
Some people like to view large-screen images from relatively close up to get the maximum viewing impact. But at close range, the colors perceived by the human eye tend to differ slightly from the original colors. The 3D Color Management System solves this problem by enabling fine adjustment of colors so they appear faithful to the originals when projected onto a large screen.
Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 pulldown)
This interlace/progressive conversion technology automatically detects when the input signal is derived from filmed material and selects the optimum progressive processing method to assure faithful reproduction of the original image.
Dual Link HD-SDI Signal Support (Optional)
Just add the ET-MD100SD4 expansion board and the projector supports Dual Link HD-SDI signals. HD-SDI signals use two cables to achieve twice the color resolution of the conventional single link system.
ET-MD100SD4
Full 10-Bit Processing
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.
