Panasonic PT-DZ680UK WUXGA 1080p DLP Projector

The high-efficiency light convergence technology and the color wheel work together to achieve the high brightness of 6,000 lm for the projector. Clear, crisp images are reproduced even in bright rooms.

The RGB Booster achieves high image quality with levels of color reproduction and brightness that make each color stand out. It combines Panasonic's Vivid Color Control technology with the Lamp Modulation Drive System for a 1-chip DLP projector that produces bright and vivid colors.

This control technology optimizes the use of the color segment areas of the color wheel. It increases the brightness of each RGB color by minimizing the unallocated portions between the colors, to achieve truly vivid coloring.

With the advanced lamp modulation technology, the projector is able to control the lamp intensity for each of the red, green, blue, and white segments of the color wheel separately. Because the actual light output is controlled in relation to each color segment, light usage is optimized and color balance is obtained without lowering the brightness. This results in bright vivid images with increased color fidelity.

This advanced image-processing circuit analyzes the video signal frequency range for each scene by extracting data on the distribution of high-, mid-, and low-frequency components, and brings out fine details accordingly. The resulting images have a natural, 3D appearance with crisp, clear detail.

Image details are less clear when a projector is used in a room with the lights on. Panasonic's System Daylight View 2 improves brightness perception by adjusting the sharpness, gamma curves, and the color corrections. This produces crisp, stunning images with vivid colors even under bright conditions.

This imaging mode is similar to DICOM part 14, which is a medical imaging standard. It reproduces X-ray images with remarkable clarity.

Optimal color reproduction can be achieved by selecting this mode, compliant with ITU-R.

The use of a full 10-bit image-processing system provides smooth tonal expression. For example, skin tones appear natural and true to life.

The original Eco Filter consists of 2 Micro Cut Filters (electrostatic filters), a pre-filter, and a main filter, which use an ion effect to collect extremely small dust particles. The pre-filter has a honeycomb configuration and the main filter is pleated to achieve a large surface area that raises its dust-collecting performance. Thanks to these features, the Eco Filter has a replacement cycle of up to 12,000 hours, which reduces the hassle of maintenance. And, as an environmental consideration, the filter can be washed with water and reused.

The Dual-Lamp System eliminates the need to interrupt a presentation if a lamp should burn out (in dual-lamp operation mode). The Lamp Relay mode also operates the lamps alternately to enable 24/7 projector operation.

The liquid cooling system directly cools the DLP chip to improve performance and enable operation up to 113°F (45°C). This allows you to use this projector in a wider variety of environments, while stabilizing performance and keeping the unit quiet even in harsh conditions.

The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal/vertical lens shift function assures convenience and versatility during installation. It lets you easily make adjustments with the included remote control. The unit can also be rotated 360° vertically. This means that you can install it at any angle you want, to accommodate different installation conditions.

The Multi-Screen Support System optimally adjusts multiple screens: Edge blending, color matching, and multi-screen processor.
Edge Blending
The edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their luminance be controlled.
Color Matching
This function corrects for slight variations in the color reproduction range of individual projectors.
Multi-Screen Processor
The projector can project large, multi-screen images without any additional equipment. Up to 100 units (10 x 10) can be edge-blended at a time.

The projector can simultaneously display images from 2 sources onto a single screen. For example, you can display a PC image on the left and a video image on the right. Taking advantage of the wide-screen projection, this function gives you a host of new application possibilities to explore.

Panasonic's freeware, "Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Software," allows the user to control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time via the LAN. Projectors can be scheduled to turn On and Off at a certain hour every day. When a problem occurs, an alarm message is sent to the monitoring/controlling PC.

The LAN terminal allows a computer connected to the network to use Crestron RoomView application software to manage and control system devices. Besides, the AMX Device Discovery technology is built in the projector.

The projector has attained a low standby power level of 0.2W (Standby Mode: ECO). It also helps reduce the environmental impact.

The projector reflects the following ecological considerations:
No halogenated flame retardants are used in the cabinet.
Lead-free solder is used to mount components to the printed circuit boards.
Lamp power switching further reduces power consumption.
Standby power consumption of only 0.2W has been achieved (Standby Mode: ECO).
Auto Power Save activates STANDBY MODE when there is no signal input.
