Reference Images with the Efficiency of Laser
The 12,000 lm PT-RZ12K 3-Chip DLP™ Series projectors combine class-leading imaging technologies with the practical advantages of Panasonic SOLID SHINE Laser: minimal picture quality degradation over long periods in continuous use, 20,000-hour maintenance-free operation*, flexible installation, failsafe reliability, and a wealth of powerful features for creative visual presentations in large spaces.
Bright and Vivid Picture Quality from 3-Chip DLP™ SOLID SHINE Laser
Combining 3-Chip DLP™ imaging with original SOLID SHINE Laser Phosphor technology, Panasonic 3-Chip DLP™ SOLID SHINE Laser Series produces vividly colored pictures rich in detail with excellent brightness. Solid-state laser light sources and specially engineered heat-resistant phosphor wheels work together with three discrete DLP™ modules (R/G/B) for high brightness, true color accuracy, and high contrast in large venues.
Dual-Laser Optical Engine Assures Failsafe Reliability
Dual-Drive Laser Optical Engine groups laser diodes into two discrete modules. A redundancy circuit works to minimize brightness- and color-uniformity loss should a laser diode fail, making supported products ideal for applications where picture presentation must be maintained.
Efficient Cooling System Enhances Reliability
A liquid cooling system for the light source features a new air intake and solid aluminum radiator to suppress temperature rises, allowing stable operation in high temperatures while reducing noise*.
* Please refer to product specifications for more details.
Eco Filter Extends Replacement Cycle to 20,000 Hours
The Eco Filter incorporates an electrostatic Micro Cut Filter that collects minute dust particles using an ion effect. It joins with a dust-resistant cabinet to enable long-term use even in punishing conditions. A long maintenance cycle of up to 20,000 hours*1 reduces hassle, while the eco-friendly washable filter*2 can be reused.
*1 Usage environment may affect filter maintenance cycle.
*2 Please follow the procedures listed in the operating instructions when washing filter with water. Replacement is recommended after filter has been washed and reused twice, or if filter is not sufficiently clean after washing.
High Image Quality and Reliability
Lightweight Design Outputs High Brightness
With proprietary optical drive system optimized for the light source, efficient cooling systems, and lightweight yet tough cabinet materials, these projectors achieve high brightness in units that are smaller, lighter, and easier to handle.
120 Hz Real Motion Processor Reduces Motion Blur
Real Motion Processor interpolates images for a 120 Hz* frame-rate. Smooth, stutter-free 120 Hz* reproduction is also possible using simultaneous inputs (two 3G-SDI inputs or DVI-D/HDMI combination). Together with a refined optical engine that enhances focus, Real Motion Processor delivers a better sense of resolution, contrast, and fluidity of motion.
* Refresh-rate varies depending on vertical scanning frequency.
Detail Clarity Processor 5
Proprietary circuitry analyzes individual video frames to identify and clarify areas of the image containing fine details and textures. Algorithms pull information from four frequency bandwidths, from super-high to low, to sharpen outlines, correct contours, and reduce ringing noise.
System Daylight View 3
Panasonic’s premium System Daylight View 3 stops pictures washing out in bright light and enhances impact in mapping and multi-projector applications. It uses sensor information to adjust sharpness, manipulate gamma curves, and correct colors to suit on-site conditions.
Long Life Modes for Continuous Operation
Select your preferred operational mode to balance control brightness decline with brightness output according to the specific requirements of individual applications.
Installation Flexibility and Powerful Functionality
Free 360-degree Installation
SOLID SHINE Laser technology enables 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 temporarily or in permanent applications.
Single-Cable DIGITAL LINK Connection
DIGITAL LINK transmits uncompressed video, audio*1, and control commands through a single CAT 5e or higher STP cable for distances of up to 150 m (492 ft)*2. Optional DIGITAL LINK Switcher or Digital Interface Box further simplifies installation, reduces cabling and associated costs, and enhances reliability.
*1 Audio transmission depending on model’s audio capability.
*2 150 m (492 ft) transmission available only with ET-YFB200G DIGITAL LINK Switcher for signals up to 1080p.
Backup Input Setting Assures Picture Display
Projectors switch instantaneously to a backup input signal should the primary input signal be disrupted*, assuring image display is maintained at all times in venues such as control rooms and adding insurance at events where projection must not be interrupted.
* Combination of primary/secondary input terminals is fixed. Switching to secondary input (or primary input) occurs automatically when the input signal for primary input (or secondary input) is disrupted. The Backup Input Setting is enabled only when the input signal to primary and secondary terminals is the same.
Geometry Manager Pro Software and Upgrade Kits
Download free Geometry Manager Pro software to expand geometric and multi-screen setup and calibration capabilities via PC. The suite includes two upgrade kits that can be optionally unlocked with paid key codes. ET-UK20 adds uniformity correction and extensive creative masking capabilities. ET-CUK10 features Auto Screen Adjustment which enables simultaneous setup (including curved-screen correction) of multiple projectors for multi-screen applications using a compatible camera. This streamlines edge-blending, color-matching, black-level, stacking, and brightness uniformity calibration.
Note: Use of Geometry Manager Pro and optional upgrade kits requires the latest firmware and projector registration. Visit PASS to register your projector, download the latest firmware, download free Geometry Manager Pro software for Windows® (optional ET-UK20/ET-CUK10 upgrade kits included), and purchase license activation keys for ET-UK20/ET-CUK10. Compatible cameras for ET-CUK10 comprise Nikon D5200/D5300/D5500/D5600/D7500. Use of ET-CUK10 with these cameras requires installation of Auto Screen Adjustment Plug-in (a free camera driver available from PASS). Use of Auto Screen Adjustment function with D7500 requires Geometry Manager Pro Ver. 6.1.10 or later and Auto Screen Adjustment Plug-in Ver. 5.1.10 or later.
3D Projection Capability
This Panasonic projector is compatible with active 3D projection technology. Click here to view information on 3D projection using a combination of external IR transmitter and active-shutter 3D glass. Please contact your sales representative for information on passive 3D projection.
Early Warning Software ET-SWA100 Series (Optional)
Early Warning Software monitors the status of projectors and displays connected to an intranet, and informs the operator when an abnormality is detected or predicted, or when there are symptoms of trouble. This minimizes downtime to provide more stable operation.
Common Lenses for Panasonic 3-Chip DLP™ Projectors
Panasonic 3-Chip DLP™ projectors share a range of optional lenses, including ultra-short-throw lens and zoom lens for long throw distances, reducing cost of ownership for staging and event companies with large projector inventories.
