Wide Images (PT-FW300NTU/FW300U)
The PT-FW300NTU and PT-FW300U feature wide-aspect LCD panels, which allow native reproduction of WXGA (1,280 x 800) images from a PC. This provides a visually powerful display of wide-screen images from DVD sources, as well as wide-screen images from wide-aspect PCs, which are now the mainstream.
When projecting images from a source with a wide aspect ratio onto a 4:3 screen, the pro- jector reduces the image to use only 75% of the screen area. Also, wide-screen projection makes it possible to display larger images where room for the screen height is limited.
Side-by-Side Function (PT-FW300NTU/FW300U)
The PT-FW300NTU and PT-FW300U can simultaneously display images from two sources*4 onto a single
screen. For example, you can display a PC image on the right and a video image on the left. Taking advantage of the wide- screen projection, this function
gives you a host of new applica-
tion possibilities to explore. With the wide-aspect-ratio capability, you can project two large 4:3 images side by side.
*3 There is no actual change in the rated brightness or contrast ratio.
*4 This function is not effective for some source combinations.
Excellent Standard Features
Brightness of 4,000/3,500 lumens
Ahigh-performance optical system combines with a high-efficiency 250 W UHM lamp to deliver a high brightness of 4,000 lumens (PT-F300NTU and PT-F300U) or 3,500 lumens (PT-FW300NTU and PT-FW300U). All models deliver crisp, bright images that are easy for the audience to see.
Daylight View 5 Gives Better Color Perception for Easy Viewing in Various Lighting Conditions
The PT-F300 Series features Panasonic’s Daylight
View 5 technology. Remarkable detail is provided 
and perceived brightness and contrast are en- hanced,*3 so images appear crisp, vivid, 3-dimensional and easy to see even
in brightly lit rooms. Sharp edges are achieved with the “Edge Enhancer Control” and “Gamma Curve Control,” while the perceived contrast is improved by extending the white level. Daylight View 5 operates in combina- tion with a built-in ambient light sensor that automatically detects room brightness and adjusts operation accordingly.
Easy Installation and
Maintenance
Wide 2x Zoom and Horizontal/Vertical Lens Shift Give You More Installation Flexibility
Every model can project a 120-inch image from any distance between
3.6m (11.8 feet) and 7.2 m (23.6 feet).* 5 In new installations, this lets you accommodate a wide range of room sizes and shapes. And when replacing existing projectors, the 2x zoom greatly enhances your ease of installation and can reduce costs by permitting the use of existing mounting positions and cablings.

Anyone can operate a PT-F300 Series projector by remote control or monitor its status 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.

Controlling and Monitoring Multiple Projectors
Panasonic’s original Multi Projector Monitoring and Control freeware* 6 allows the user to control and moni- tor up to 1,024 projectors via LAN from a remote location. If a problem occurs, an alarm message is sent to the controlling/monitoring PC.
Abundant Connection Terminals
Designed for versatility, each projector comes equipped with a host of connection terminals, including a DVI-D input * 7 and LAN terminal. Using the serial input, you can continue to use the control commands of previous Panasonic models with the Emulate function. This makes replacement quick and easy. Upon preference, audio out terminal can still be used during standby mode, so you can output audio without turning the projector on.
