Panasonic PT-DW11KU Overview
The Panasonic PT-DW11KU 3-Chip DLP Projector features a dual-lamp system that produces stunning images at 11,000 lumens of brightness.
The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal/vertical lens shift function can be easily adjusted with the remote control. The unit can also be rotated 360° vertically, to accommodate various installation conditions. The lens-centered design contributes to easy installation.
The Eco Filter has an electrostatic Micro Cut Filter that collects minute dust particles with an ion effect. It combines with the dust-resistant cabinet to enable long-term use even under harsh conditions. Its maintenance cycle of up to 12,000 hours reduces hassle, and the environmental design lets you wash the filter with water and reuse it.
The Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a contrast ratio of 10,000:1, without lowering its brightness. This helps to reproduce deeper, richer blacks, and provides images with more detailed textures. When in Lamp Relay mode, the projector eliminates any interruptions if a lamp should fail, and enables 24/7 projection.
This projector is compatible with both passive and active 3D projection systems. It combines with either a separate, external 100/120/144 Hz drive with IR emitter and active shutter glasses, or an active filter and passive glasses, for viewing 3D images.
This projector can be easily operated remotely over a LAN network, because it is all done using the computer's familiar web browser. Furthermore, the projector sends an e-mail message notify the operator when an error has needs to be replaced.

Compact Yet Bright
Dual-lamp system with a 380 W lamp helps make the body compact, while providing a full 11,000 lumens of brightness with 120 VAC operation. The projector cannot be operated continuously 24 hours a day / 7 days a week in dual-lamp mode. Use the dual-lamp optical system's alternating lamp operation (lamp changer) function
WXGA Resolution
With a native WXGA resolution, the projector reproduces detailed images
Dynamic Iris for a High 10,000:1 Contrast Ratio
Panasonic's Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve 10,000:1 contrast without lowering its brightness. This helps to reproduce deeper, richer blacks, and provides images with more detailed textures
Active 3D Projection Capability
This projector is compatible with both passive and active 3D projection systems. It combines with either a separate, external 100/120/144 Hz drive with IR emitter and active shutter glasses, or an active filter and passive glasses, for viewing 3D images
Detail Clarity Processor 3
This Panasonic circuit optimizes the sharpness of each image, based on the frequency components of the extracted image information. The resulting images have more natural, lifelike expressions
System Daylight View 2 for Enhanced Color Perception
This technology optimizes image quality to improve the color perception of the projected image in bright rooms. With a brightness of 12,000 lumens, it provides highly comfortable viewing even in bright lighting, and allows viewers to concentrate easily on the images
Dual Lamp System
This system eliminates the interruption if a lamp should fail (in dual-lamp operation mode). The Lamp Relay mode also operates the lamps alternately to enable 24/7 projection
DICOM Simulation Mode
This imaging mode is similar to DICOM part 14, which is a medical imaging standard. It reproduces X-ray images with remarkable clarity. This product is not a medical instrument. Do not use it for actual medical diagnosis
Waveform Monitor Function
When the output level of the source device fluctuates due to the performance of the device or its cable connections, the original black and white levels of the image content cannot be reproduced correctly. With this projector you can view the waveforms on the screen and adjust the settings either automatically or manually as you prefer
Rec. 709 Mode for HDTV Projection
Optimal color reproduction can be achieved by selecting this mode, compliant with ITU-R Recommendation BT.709, when images from an HDTV source are projected
Eco Filter that Needs No Maintenance for up to 12,000 Hours
The Eco Filter has an electrostatic Micro Cut Filter that collects minute dust particles with an ion effect. It combines with the dust-resistant cabinet to enable long-term use even under harsh conditions. Its maintenance cycle of up to 12,000 hours reduces hassle, and the environmental design lets you wash the filter with water and reuse it. The usage environment affects the filter maintenance cycle
Low TCO and an Environmentally Friendly Design
This projector lowers the total cost of ownership because they have a lamp replacement cycle of up to 2500 hours. Their environmentally friendly design also includes a low power consumption of 980W
Easy Lamp Replacement
For easier maintenance, you can replace the lamp from the rear. This makes it easy to replace a lamp unit while the projector is still in the mounting bracket or dual stacked
Optional Smoke Cut Filter ET-SFD320
The projector can be equipped with an optional, extra-strong air filter to prevent the entry of smoke, such as those used for special effects at events and stage performances
Flexible Installation
The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal/vertical lens shift function can be easily adjusted with the remote control. The unit can also be rotated 360° vertically, to accommodate various installation conditions. The lens-centered design contributes to easy installation
Lens Memory
The settings of projection size, lens shift position, and focus/zoom can be stored in memory and recalled for instant switching
Wide Selection of Optional Lenses
Choose from a wide lineup of lenses for your system, including short-throw, long-throw zoom and fixed-throw lenses for rear projection use. The additional lenses make it easy to adapt your projector to the installation site. The lenses attach and detach with one-touch ease
Crestron RoomView
The LAN terminal allows a computer connected to the network to use Crestron RoomView application software to manage and control system devices
Multi-Unit Brightness Control
This function automatically corrects the brightness fluctuations that occur over time in the individual projectors of a multi-screen system. Up to 8 projectors can be controlled by connecting to each other via a hub, and this can be increased to a maximum of 2,048 projectors by using Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Software Ver. 2.8
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. The PC software assures easy, accurate control
Multi-Screen Processor: This projector can project large, multi-screen images without any additional equipment. Up to 100 units can be edge blended at a time
Optional Portrait Mode Capability
Portrait projection is possible by mounting the optional ET-LAD320P or ET-LAD320PW lamp units, updating the projector's firmware to MAIN Ver. 2.00 or later, and installing the projector with its terminal side surface facing downward
