Latin America. Panasonic has presented at ISE 2016 the new 1-chip DLP laser projector, of the PT-RZ970 series, lighter and more compact in the sector, which allows it to offer a brightness of 10,000 lumens up to WUXGA resolution.
This series consists of three models (WUXGA, WXGA and XGA) and takes advantage of the functions and technology of Panasonic's acclaimed PT-RZ670 series, but the novelty of incorporating 1.5 times more brightness and an image quality that is close to the three-chip DLP™ models.
The PT-RZ970 series is designed to offer maintenance-free use for up to 20,000 hours1. These features make it an ideal solution for rental markets, exhibitions, conferences and large classrooms, as well as for signage and surveillance applications.
The new projectors incorporate a watertight optical block as protection against the entry of dust above industry standards, as well as solid-state laser modules that allow to maintain a high level of brightness. In addition, they include a new high-speed redundancy system that switches, almost instantaneously, to a second signal in case the first one fails, thus guaranteeing maximum reliability.
"The PT-RZ970 uses a new generation laser technology, and integrates a dynamic contrast function that allows the output of the light source to be quickly and accurately modulated according to the requirements of the images. The result is a contrast ratio of 10,000:1, blacks are deeper, white balance is more accurate and color rendering is more defined and natural, something unusual in single-chip projectors," says Hartmut Kulessa, Projector Marketing Director at Panasonic.
The compact PT-RZ970 series incorporates a flexible installation for both permanent and temporary assemblies. It supports the connection based on a single DIGITAL LINK cable and allows the reuse of the DLP™ targets of a current chip. In addition, the projectors can be mounted in omnidirectional installations and incorporate a powered lens displacement system with keystone correction and geometric adjustment function.
