Panasonic Announces New 1-Chip Projector

Panasonic has announced a new high brightness, 1-chip DLP projector series aimed at 24-hour operation in public display and signage.

DZ780 projectors feature a liquid-cooling system that reduces operating noise to 30 dB when projecting at full lamp output power. The dual-lamp projector outputs 7,000 lumens at WUXGA resolution and introduces a range of features.

Hartmut Kulessa, Marketing Manager Projector Products, Panasonic Visual System Solutions, said: "Again in an installation-class projector, we have provided a spec sheet which will set the DZ780 series apart from the competition. What is more, the series reduces the Total Cost of Ownership by doubling recommended lamp replacement to 4,000 hours in normal mode, over comparable models. There is also no requirement for air filter replacement, because of the dust-proof hermetic optical engine."

Dual lamps and Relay Mode enable 24-hour operation and uninterrupted playback in the event of lamp failure. System Daylight View 2 joins Panasonic's Dynamic RGB Booster and Detail Clarity Processor technologies to provide high quality colour reproduction, detail and brightness.

The DZ780 series is compatible with the optional Geometric Manager Pro and Auto Screen Adjustment plug-in software that automatically sets up and calibrates projectors in a network for multiple or curved-screen projection. It is also compatible with Art-Net DMX, a protocol for lighting management. It features DIGITAL LINK, allowing long distance transmission of up to 1080p content using a single cable connection of up to 150m (100m for WUXGA resolution).

The DZ780 series comprises the PT-DZ780 (7,000 lm, WUXGA), PT-DW750 (7,000 lm, WXGA), and PT-DX820 (8,200 lm, XGA) and launches in April 2015.
