Incredible Brightness & High Picture Quality

New AC Lamp and Multi-Lamp System

High-Resolution WUXGA Images

Panasonic’s innovative 4-lamp optical system uses newly developed 300-watt AC lamps to deliver remarkable 12,000-lumen brightness. The 4-lamp system means superb reliability too – the projector keeps working even if one lamp goes out. A full 24 hours of continuous operation is possible in Lamp Relay mode.

*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.)

Lamp replacement cycle and brightness guidelines

Lamp mode	Light output	Lamp replacement
	(lumens)	cycle (hours)
Four lamps	12,000	2,000
Three lamps	9,000	2,600
Two lamps	6,000	4,000
One lamp	3,000	8,000

In response to the increasing popularity of wide-screen image viewing, the PT-DZ12000E features native WUXGA resolution to cover full-HD specifications. This brings you lifelike projection of intricate, highly detailed images.

Detail Clarity Processor

Exclusive to Panasonic, this new image-processing circuit analyzes the video signal frequency range for each scene by extracting data on the distribution of high, mid, and low-frequency components, and brings out fine details accordingly. The resulting images have a more natural, three dimensional appearance with crisp, clear detail.

Dynamic Iris

Panasonic’s Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a remarkable 5,000:1 contrast without lowering the 12,000-lumen brightness. It helps reproduce deeper, richer blacks and gives images more detailed textures.

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.

System Daylight View

Screen visibility is lower when a projector is used during daylight hours or in a room with lights on. Panasonic’s System Daylight View circuit compensates for these brighter environments, so that images are crisp, clear and easy to see no matter what the conditions are.

3D Colour 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 colours perceived by the human eye tend to differ slightly from the original colours. The 3D Colour Management System solves this problem by enabling fine adjustment of colours so they appear faithful to the originals when projected onto a large screen.

Dual Link HD-SDI Signal Support (Optional)

Just add an ET-MD100SD4 expansion board and the projector supports Dual Link HD-SDI signals. HD-SDI signals use two cables to achieve twice the colour resolution of the conventional single link system.
