PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic, a leading supplier of end-to-end communications solutions to the private and public sector, is showcasing its expanded lineup of professional projectors, including its new flagship PT-RQ32K 4K SOLID SHINE Laser Projector, generating breathtaking 4K images at InfoComm 2016. Also displayed is the latest in its award-winning SOLID SHINE laser projector portfolio and LCD projector series, highlighting large venue, installation and hybrid lighting projector models on the show floor.Panasonic listens to the needs of professional system integrators, resellers, and end users, says John Baisley, Senior Vice President, Visual & Imaging, Panasonic System Communications Company of North America. With demand for visual communication systems growing in many industries, we respond with the rigorous requirements professional users are asking for. We test all our professional visual systems products beyond the limits of normal endurance to guarantee the reliability thats synonymous with the Panasonic name.
At InfoComm 2016, Panasonic is showcasing a number of cutting-edge laser and LCD projector technologies including:
PT-RQ32KU 3-Chip DLP SOLID SHINE Laser Projector with 4K Resolution
The new flagship PT-RQ32KU 3-Chip DLP SOLID SHINE Laser 4K projector is perfect for large-venue entertainment applications. Offering an impressive 27,000 lm*1 maximum brightness (center-screen, high mode operation) at 5120 x 3200-pixel*2 (4K ) resolution, this all-in-one projector incorporates Quad Pixel Drive technology which creates extra pixels vertically and horizontally, quadrupling pixel density and rendering the finest details in exquisite 4K resolution. The need for custom mounting-frames has also been eliminated with new frame-free stacking or i-bolt rigging capability, reducing overall weight for less costly transportation and that also makes it easier to support multi-projection mapping applications at large events.
Key advantages of the PT-RQ32KU include free 360-degree installation, long-distance HDBaseT -based DIGITAL LINK video/control transmission, a Multi-Screen Support System, Geo Adjustment, and software for projector-network management over LAN complete with optional plug-ins for simultaneous auto-calibration of multiple projectors and expanded multi-screen support functions. Coupled with a 240 Hz-capable Real Motion Processor sub-frame sampling engine for fluid motion reproduction, Detail Clarity Processor 5 and System Daylight View 3 analysis technology, and digitally modulated 20,000:1*3 Dynamic Contrast, visuals are spectacular, from fast action scenes to film-like text and graphic reproduction. Other inclusions such as Quick On/Off, mechanical shutter, and power management functions ensure smooth, energy-efficient operation in long-term or temporary installations. The PT-RQ32KU is set for release in autumn 2016.
PT-RQ13KU 3-Chip DLP Laser Projector with 4K Resolution
With 4K screen resolution (5,120 X 3,200) and Quad Pixel Drive technology, the PT-RQ13KU is the most compact and lightweight 4K 3-chip DLP laser projector in its class. The projector boasts an impressive 10,000 lm of brightness and a contrast ratio of 20,000:1 by maximizing laser light performance, delivering extremely detailed, film-like, beyond 4K image quality. The projectors pixel is shifted both horizontally and vertically at a high frame rate of 240 Hz, physically creating four different pixels from a single pixel, effectively quadrupling the pixel density of the image and creating extraordinary picture quality. The PT-RQ13KU is currently available.
PT-RZ970 Series 1-Chip DLP SOLID SHINE Laser Projectors
Unveiling the light and compact 1-Chip DLP laser phosphor projector, the PT-RZ970 boasts 10,000 lm (Center) (9,400 lm) brightness up to WUXGA resolution. The RZ970 builds on the features and the technology of Panasonics multi-award-winning PT-RZ670 Series, but with approximately 1.5 times more brightness and with picture quality approaching that of its 3-Chip DLP models.
Aimed at rental, exhibition, hall, signage, and surveillance applications, the PT-RZ970 Series is engineered for maintenance-free long-haul operation. It features an airtight optical engine block thats tested to exceed the industrys most stringent dustproofing standards as well as dual solid-state laser modules to maintain high brightness with no maintenance for up to 20,000 hours*4. The compact PT-RZ970 Series is also one of the industrys most flexible to install permanently or rig temporarily, with free 360-degree cabinet rotation (horizontal and vertical) and wide-range powered lens shift with keystone correction and built-in Geometric Adjustment. Together with a DIGITAL LINK single-cable connection to reduce cabling costs and optional lenses that are compatible with all Panasonic 1-Chip DLP projectors, these features keep TCO to a minimum.
The RZ970 Series also includes a new high-speed backup input that switches almost instantly to a backup should the primary signal fail, ensuring the highest reliability in situations where the image display should not be interrupted, such as surveillance and simulation rooms. And in spaces where full brightness is not required, a selection of long-life modes is available to extend light source life to up to 10 years of continuous 24/7 operation. The PT-RZ970 Series includes PT-RZ970 (WUXGA), PT-RW930 (WXGA) and PT-RX110 (XGA), all available in June 2016.
PT-JX200 Space Player DLP Laser Projectors
Updating Panasonics popular spot-light shaped 1-Chip DLP hybrid lighting/projector with 2,000 lm of brightness (XGA), and a long-life laser light-source, the PT-JX200 expands possibilities in retail, hotels, museums and exhibitions by highlighting objects with light and moving media. Easy installation on lighting track, flexibly adjustable projection angle, and exceptionally lon
