Dynamic Sharpness Control

The Dynamic Sharpness Control circuit adjusts the video signal waveforms based on the dif- ference in the brightness of adjacent pixels for a sharp, clear picture that is relatively unaffected by signal noise.

Liquid-Cooling System

In systems with DLP™ technology, the micro- scopic mirrors of the DMD chip turn the light on and off. During the off period, light is directed away from the lens. Handling the heat from this light is a major point in main- taining the long-term performance of projec-

tors with DLP™Liquid-cooling device

technology. Panasonic’s newly developed liquid- cooling system extends projector performance and attains a high level

of reliability.

Dustproof Design with Sealed Optical Block We have minimised the effect of dust by com- pletely sealing the optical block. This dust-free design helps ensure that 3-chip projectors with DLP™ technology will continue to deliver crisp, sharp, high-resolution images over an extended service life.

Dual Lamp System and Lamp Relay Function The use of two lamp systems increases brightness and eliminates the need to inter- rupt a presentation if a lamp burns out (in dual lamp operation mode). In single lamp operation mode, the lamp relay function great- ly extends continuous operating time.

Optional Long-Life Lamp

A long-life lamp that stretches lamp life to 4,000 hours is available as an option. In sin- gle lamp operation mode, the lamp lamp relay function allows non-stop operation 24 hours a day for up to 47 weeks without replacing the

3-Chip DLP™-Based System in a Sleek, Compact Body

The World’s Lightest 3-Chip Large-Venue DLP™-Based Projector

The PT-DW7000E series combines the latest

3-chip system based on DLP™ technology with a new optical system developed using our exclusive technology. We have dramatically reduced the cabinet size, creating a unit wit only one-fifth the volume of conventional large-venue 3-chip DLP™-based projectors. This feat of design and technology achieved the world’s lightest* WXGA 3-chip projector with DLP™ technology. With a weight of 48.5 pounds (22.0 kg), the PT-DW7000E/E-K can go places other bulky 3-chip projectors with DLP™ technology have never gone before.

* As of July 2004.

DLP™-based projectors

The PT-DW7000E/E-K are the world’s small- est and lightest WXGA 3-chip projectors with DLP™ technology.

Native 16:9 Panels

The PT-DW7000 is the world’s first 3-chip DLP™ installation projector with 16:9 wide aspect panels. Unique to Panasonic, these panels let the PT-DW7000E/E-K project wide-screen images without sacrificing the superior image quality provided by DLP™ tech- nology. They also fit more information onto a PC screen.

Image Quality from 3-Chip DLP™

Technology

DLP™ technology delivers outstanding image resolution. In 3-chip systems with DLP™ tech- nology— considered among the world’s most advanced projector engines—a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) chip is allocated to each of the red, green, and blue signals. This gives systems with DLP™ technology superior light utilisation for high brightness, digital pro- cessing for low noise and linear white bal- ance, extended device life for minimal image degradation, and a quick response that elimi- nates afterimages.

Powerful 6,000 Lumens

In addition to the 300-watt UHM™ lamp, the PT-DW7000E series incorporates digital and optical technologies that maximise the DLP™ technology advantages. They deliver 6,000 Lumens of brightness, offering superior colour reproducibility.

Astounding 4,000:1 Contrast Ratio with Dynamic Iris

Panasonic’s original Dynamic Iris achieves a dramatically improved contrast ratio of 4,000:1 in the PT-DW7000E series. Dynamic Iris constantly monitors the input signal, and adjusts the intensity of the light source to match it. This highly advanced function provides high-speed, linear response to changing images with 256-step precision.

It also combines with dynamic gamma control to produce deep, rich blacks while preserving the brightness in the lighter por- tions of dark scenes.

16-Bit Colour Depth for Film-Like Natural Image

Applying 16-bit drive to each of the RGB pan- els produces 8 times the level of expression (a total of 24 times for all three RGB panels) of conventional 13-bit drive devices. This sys- tem creates extremely smooth tonal expres- sion with approx. 65,000 shades of gradation.

Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 Pulldown)

This interlace/progressive conversion technolo- gy 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. It is also compatible with the high-def- inition 1080i format.
