Panasonic PT-RZ12KU 12 000lm / WUXGA / 3-Chip DLP™ Laser Projector Broch - Page 3

Magnificent Image Quality and Reliable Operation Original Panasonic Technology Reduces Motion Blur Together with a unique high-speed Real Motion Processer chip, Panasonic has refined the PT-RZ12K Series' optical engine to enhance focus performance for a better sense of resolution, contrast, and fluidity. Real Motion Processor creates supplemental frames and interpolates for a fast 120 Hz*6 frame-rate, resulting in incredibly smooth and realistic reproduction of motion. Further, images of up to 120 Hz*6 can be displayed with Dual-link 3G-SDI, DVI-D, and HDMI simultaneous inputs. Interpolated frames 24 - 60 frames per second Unique Panasonic Processor Up to 120 frames per second Frame Creation: OFF Frame Creation: ON Dynamic Contrast Achieves High 20,000:1*7 Contrast PT-RZ12K Series projectors directly modulate laser power output to enable high contrast and reduce power consumption. Digitally controlled frame-by-frame scene-linking modulation ensures highly precise light output adjustment, and accurate 20,000:1*7 contrast is achieved even when bright and dark scenes suddenly or frequently interchange. There is also almost no drop in contrast after extended use. Detail Clarity Processor 5 Clarifies and Enhances Fine Details This proprietary circuit analyzes each individual image frame by frame to clarify areas containing fine details and textures. A new processing algorithm pulls hidden information from the super high, high, medium, and low frequency bands, sharpening outlines, correcting contours, and reducing ringing noise to improve the sense of resolution and clarity of fine details. Horizontal signal component Vertical signal component Frequency analysis engine Detail analysis engine Low-pass filter Mid-pass filter High-pass filter Super-high-pass filter Conventional projector Detail Clarity Processor 5 Waveform Monitor Function When source device output level fluctuates due to the performance of the device or its cable connections, the original black and white levels of the image cannot be reproduced correctly. The PT-RZ12K Series displays the waveforms on screen where they can be adjusted either automatically or manually as preferred. Black Level Adjustment White Level Adjustment Before Before After After System Daylight View 3 Improves Color Perception This proprietary technology optimizes image quality to improve color perception of images projected onto external or internal walls and other surfaces or in environments with bright ambient light. With a brightness of 12,000 lm, the PT-RZ12K Series delivers clear and comfortable viewing even with the lights on.

It lends a film-like resolution to X-ray images, making the PT-RZ12K Series ideal for medical presentations and training. Normal Mode DICOM Simulation Mode Selectable Operational Modes Maintain Image Quality Longer • Approx. 20,000 Hours*9 of Continuous Operation (Normal Mode) In Normal Mode with maximum 12,000 lm brightness, PT-RZ12K Series returns approximately 20,000 hours*9 light-source service life. Eco Mode at 9,600 lm extends light source replacement to approximately 24,000 hours*9. These modes are suitable for roles in education or for signage applications. • Up to 10 Years*10 Operation with Constant Brightness Modes In environments where very high brightness is not necessary, such as surveillance, control, and simulation rooms, constant operation modes extend light source replacement to up to 87,600 hours*10 in Long Life 3 Mode-about 10 years of 24/7 projection-with consistent brightness and color. lm 12,000 9,600 6,000 4,800 4,500 3,400 2,300 Operation Normal ECO Long Life 1 Long Life 2 5,000 20,000 24,000 Long Life 3 43,800 61,320 87,600 hrs • User Operating Mode In addition to preset operating modes, the PT-RZ12K Series can be customized to achieve your preferred balance of brightness or extended life. Brightness can be set from 2,300 to 12,000 lm or the lifetime set to a maximum of 10 years. Active 3D Projection Capability The PT-RZ12K Series is compatible with active 3D projection technology. It supports a separate, external 100/120/144 Hz drive, IR emitter, and active-shutter glasses, or an active filter and passive glasses for viewing 3D images. 4 System and Installation Flexibility with Powerful Functionality Flexible Setup and Smooth Operation Unlike conventional lamp-based projectors, the PT-RZ12K Series' SOLID SHINE Laser system allows free 360-degree installation through any axis. Together with powered lens shift and a wide range of optional lenses, the projector can be mounted in any way desired without picture distortion. Vertical 360 ° Horizontal 360 ° Geometric Adjustment for Specially Shaped Screens This function adjusts the image for projection onto spherical,cylindrical, and other specially shaped screens. Adjustments can be easily made using only the remote control, with no external equipment needed. New 4-Corner Adjustment and Keep Aspect Off functions also simplify fine adjustment. Single-Cable DIGITAL LINK Connection Transmit Video, Audio, and Control Signals Up to 150 m (492 ft)*11 DIGITAL LINK supports transmission of uncompressed HD video, audio, and control commands through a single cable (CAT 5e or higher STP cable) for distances of up to 150 m (492 ft)*11. Add an optional ET-YFB200G DIGITAL LINK Switcher or ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box to further simplify installation complexity in large venues while reducing cost and improving reliability at the same time. Quick Start, Quick Off The laser light source does not require any warm-up time, so images appear almost instantly with PT-RZ12K Series projectors. There's also no cooling time required when turning the power off. Users can turn the projector on and off immediately as many times as necessary. Multi-Screen Support System Seamlessly Connects Multiple Screens • Edge Blending: The edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their luminance controlled. • Color Matching: This function corrects for slight variations in the color reproduction range of individual projectors. PC software assures easy, accurate control. • Digital Image Enlarging: PT-RZ12K Series features a digital zoom function that allows images to be enlarged up to 10 times (horizontally and vertically)*12. Up to 100 units (10 x 10) can be edge-blended at a time to create large, multi-screen images. Optional Upgrade Kit (ET-UK20) Featuring Geometry Manager Pro New Geometry Manager Pro software included in Panasonic's optional upgrade kit (ET-UK20) supports color matching, edge blending, uniformity correction, and other useful functions for multi-projector setups up to a maximum of 64 units. It also enables creative masking using four lines or bitmap data. Its flexible yet sophisticated geometric adjustment capability suits a wide variety of screen shapes. Further, PT-RZ12K Series projectors support the optional ET-CUK10 Auto Screen Adjustment Upgrade Kit*13. Line Masking Bitmap Masking Without edge blending Overlapping image edges With edge blending Edge blending Create masking data Use to overlap projected image Image projected only in designated areas Projector Color matching Multi Monitoring & Control Software This software lets you control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time over wired LAN. If a problem occurs, an alert is sent to the monitoring/controlling PC. Terminal panel is LED illuminated and control panel buttons backlit for easy operation in the dark. *6 Refresh-rate varies depending on vertical scanning frequency. *7 With Dynamic Contrast Mode set to 3. *8 This product is not a medical instrument. Do not use for actual medical diagnosis. *9 At this time the brightness will have decreased to approximately half of its original level (Dynamic Contrast Mode: 3, Image Mode: Dynamic). Panasonic recommends cleaning or checkup at point of purchase after every 20,000-hour period (approximately). Light source lifetime may be reduced depending on environmental conditions. Replacement of parts other than the light source may be required in a shorter period. *10 With Operating Mode set to Long Life 3, in which mode brightness is lowered to 2,300 lm. 24 hours/day x 365 days/year x 10 years = 87,600 hours. Replacement of parts other than the light source may be required in a shorter period. Replacement parts are kept in stock for at least eight years after projector production is discontinued, after which time Panasonic cannot guarantee their availability. *11 150 m (492 ft) transmission available only with ET-YFB200G switcher for signals up to 1080p. *12 While the input resolution will not change, maintaining image quality is not possible for images enlarged horizontally and vertically via the digital zoom function. *13 Available worldwide except in the United States. 5
