PANASONIC UNVEILS LIGHT AND COMPACT 10,000 LUMENS 1-CHIP LASER PROJECTOR
Panasonic used ISE 2016 to unveil the PT-RZ970 Series, the industry’s lightest and
most compact 1-Chip DLP laser phosphor projector, boasting 10,000 lumens
brightness at up to WUXGA resolution.
The three-model series (WUXGA, WXGA, XGA) builds on the features and technology of
Panasonic’s 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.
The PT-RZ970 is engineered for maintenance-free operation of up to 20,000 hours. As such, it is aimed at use in rental, exhibitions, conferencing and lecture halls, as well as signage and surveillance applications.
The projector series features an airtight optical engine block that exceeds industry dustproofing
standards as well as dual solid-state laser modules to maintain high brightness. The projectors also
include a new high-speed backup that switches, almost instantly; to a secondary input should the
primary signal fail, ensuring the highest reliability.
Hartmut Kulessa, European Projector Marketing Manager for Panasonic, said, “The PT-RZ970 uses
new-generation laser phosphor technology and a Dynamic Contrast function that very quickly and
precisely modulates light source output according to image requirements. The result is 10,000:1
contrast ratio, deeper blacks, more accurate white balance and vivid, natural colour reproduction -
not usually seen in 1-chip projectors.”
The compact RZ970 Series features flexible installation for permanent or temporary rigging. It is
compatible with DIGITAL LINK single-cable connection and allows the re-use of existing 1-Chip
DLP lenses. In addition, the projectors can be mounted through 360-degrees, have powered lens
shift with keystone correction and built-in Geometric Adjustment.
However the motorized mount to demonstrate this feature, did result in shaky and stuttering images, goining in and out of focus.
