Panasonic AJ-PX270 Live Streaming ConferenceTheater Case Study - Page 2

Case Study: Food Market SCREEN IMAGES THAT MUST BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED Picture, if you will, a theater that comfortably seats 600 at tables that can be used for anything from taking notes at a business conference to eating a gourmet dinner at a fundraising event. Somewhat reminiscent of the old-school Cinerama theaters, the new conference center has three projection screens - two of them 16 by 9 feet and another 24 by 13 feet, giving the room an impressive 613 square feet of projection space. Even more impressive, each of the screens is illumed by one of three trussmounted 20,000-lumen-class Panasonic PT-DZ21K2 DLP projectors, outputting higher brightness levels than many digital projectors powering multiplex movie theater screens. "It's not even fair to compare the new projectors to what we had before," said the Director of Audio Visual Services. "It's not even a contest in terms of brightness and clarity. What I can say is that we're tickled with the quality of the Panasonic projectors, the realism of their colors, the brightness of the image, the extended lamp life, the really long,12,000-hour Eco filter maintenance cycle... the whole package." Regardless of a screen's brightness and clarity, content is still king when it comes to delivering images that will resonate with and engage viewers. Even the most arresting presentation will lose its impact if presented on IMAG projection showing less-than-perfect color saturation, contrast range and finedetail resolution. To provide the high-definition quality and color fidelity it wanted for IMAG support, the company selected five remote-controlled Panasonic AW-HE130s PTZ cameras with revolutionary new features such as Power over Ethernet+ (POE+) for easy integration, multi-stream transmission of H.264 HD video and audio (up to 1080/60p at 25Mbps) and Panasonic's proprietary DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch) and Hybrid Digital Noise Reduction technology. Able to produce stunning images even in low-light conditions, the AW-HE130's unparalleled detail and color rendition are enabled by the same high-sensitivity, low-noise, 1/3" 3-MOS image sensors and digital signal processors also used in best-in-class broadcast camcorders such as the Panasonic's AJ-PX720s, which was chosen to handle live video streaming from both local and remote locations. "We've mounted three of the Pan/Tilt/Zooms on the truss with the projectors and have two mobile units that we plug into wall ports located throughout the center,"
