PT-L520U

Ultra-Portable SVGA Projector — Powerful, Easy to Use

Panasonic’s PT-L520U SVGA projector is a great choice for presentations in a wide range of environments. Small, sleek, and ultra-portable, the PT-L520U gives you high brightness, the top performance in its class, and a host of advanced features. Best of all, it’s remarkably easy to use.

If you want a projector that stands out for both brightness and performance, check out the PT-L520U. And see just how easy a presentation can be.

Bright 2000 ANSI Lumens, High

300:1 Contrast Ratio

The PT-L520U delivers super-bright perfor- mance with 2000 ANSI lumens thanks to a newly-designed, high-performance optical system and high-efficiency 220-W UHM™ lamp. The high contrast ratio of 300:1 ensures that images are sharp, crisp, and easy to see. Both models also provide excellent brightness uniformity of 90%.

Excellent

Color Rendition

 

The use of advanced

10-bit digital

gamma

correction

circuitry with the latest algo-

rithm gives the PT-L520U naturally vivid,

 

uniform colors and smooth image grada-

 

tion. Plus, full compatibility with the

sRGB

standard for color space adds more accu-

rate color reproduction to your presenta-

 

tions. The PT-L520U also delivers outstand-

 

ing moving pictures thanks to a

Digital

Cinema Reality

(DCR) circuit and

3-dimensional

comb filter

One-Touch Auto Setup

The One-Touch Auto Setup function with digital keystone correction saves adjust- ment hassles. Panasonic’s original, built-in gravity sensor determines the projector’s angle relative to the floor and corrects for keystone distortion accordingly. This makes set-up super-easy: Just aim the projector at the screen and press the Auto Setup but-

ton. The projector handles all picture adjustments, from phasing and dot clocks to vertical and horizontal position.

Extra Short-Throw Lens

The PT-L520U is equipped with a large- diameter, extra short-throw lens that short- ens the necessary projection distance. The shorter projection distance of the PT-L520U saves space. For instance, 2.4 m (8 feet) or less is needed to project an 80-inch diago- nal screen, allowing the projector to be placed at the front of the table. This conve- nient feature enables comfortable presenta- tions with large, easy-to-see images even

in small rooms.
