High Reliability & Stability

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

Auto Cleaning Robot Liquid Cooling System

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.

*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.

• 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.

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 by 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.

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-DW100, 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.

Adapts to a Variety of Environments

Built-in Multi-screen Support System

• Edge blending

The edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their luminance controlled. For example, the adjoining edges in a 2-screen system can be blended to create a smooth, seamless image.

• Color matching

When several units are used together, this function corrects for slight variations in the color reproduction range of individual projectors. The PC software assures easy, accurate control. Independent, 7-axis adjustment (red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, white) ensures high precision colors and minimizes color variations.

• Multi-screen processor

The PT-DW100 can project large, multi-screen images without any additional equipment. Up to 100 units (10 x 10) can be edge-blended at a time.

Flexible Angle Setting

Flexible mounting allows a 360° vertical rotation range*. Dramatic showroom displays can be achieved by projecting directly downward or upward.

*A special fixture must be attached to the lamp unit when the projector is placed at an angle within ±45° of the vertical.

*The horizontal range is ±15°.

Multiple Terminals Include DVI-D and LAN Slot

The PT-DW100 comes equipped with DVI-D and LAN (PJ-Link™) slots. It also features an array of terminals, including two RGB inputs and D-sub HD 15-pin, a 5-BNC connector, serial in/out, S-video input, two remote inputs, and one remote out. In addition to offering DVI-D control, the PT-DW100 is HDCP*-compliant and thus meets a broad range of projection needs.

* High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection

A Wide Selection of Lenses

Choose from a wide lineup of lenses for your system, including short-throw, long-throw zoom and fixed-throw lenses for rear projection use. The additional lenses make it easy to adapt your projector to the installation site. The lens cover opens completely for easy mounting.

*Image uniformity over the entire screen may be affected by the type of screen used or the lamp mode selected. Also, due to differences in the manner in which the lamp brightness decreases with time, some fluctuation may appear in overall screen brightness. When this occurs, the unit must be readjusted, which is a service that is offered for a fee.
