Panasonic DZ870ULW Overview
The white Panasonic PT-DZ870ULW WUXGA 1-Chip DLP Projector is ideally suited for fixed installations and public display venues including independent cinema, live events, educational institutions, entertainment and advertising, or as the hub of cutting-edge home theater applications.
8500 ANSI lumens is enough power to overwhelm most ambient light challenges, while the 10,000:1 contrast achieved by the Dynamic Iris delivers WUXGA (1920 x 1200) imagery that leaps off the screen. And don't worry if your source material was compressed. Detail Clarity Processor 3 restores any subtle details that may have been lost during the compression process.
The projector ensures minimal image degradation and a quick response that eliminates afterimages. While compact, the sturdily-built, 53 pound unit has what takes to last. It's for mission-critical environments such as 24-hour a day command and control centers thanks to the dual 420W lamp system, which employs a Lamp Relay mode to cycle each lamp on and off during 24/7 scenarios.
Other features include a built-in clock to schedule projector functions, PIP, and DICOM simulation mode. Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine, or DICOM, allows educators to display subtle nuances and grayscale subtleties in X-rays, radiography or MRIs.
The PT-DZ870ULW ships without a lens. You have a wide range of lenses to choose from.
