Panasonic PT-MZ20KL Series 3-LCD Projector

Description

Panasonic PT-MZ20KL Series 3-LCD Projector

The Panasonic PT-MZ20KL Series 3-LCD Projector features Geometry Manager Pro software which expands built-in functions and enables adjustment from a PC.

In addition to the standard functions included in the software, PT-MZ20KL Series has built-in upgrade kits that allow access to all functions without license activation. PT-MZ20KL Series offers unparalleled smoothness to reduce labor-intensive adjustment with camera-based geometric distortion correction, edge-blending, color-matching, stacking, and automatic adjustment of brightness and black levels.

Features

• World’s Smallest, Lightest, and Quietest 11,000 lm LCD Projector
• Long-Life Energy-Saving Design Minimizes Problems
• Delivering up to 20,000 lm on AC 100–240 V, a World First

The World’s Smallest, Lightest, and Quietest LCD Projector with 11,000 lm

The PT-MZ20KL Series is Lightweight, Compact, and Capable of High-Brightness Projection Series suitable for several occurrences.

World’s Quietest Operation Allows Viewers to Concentrate on Your Presentation

PT-MZ20KL Series achieves the world’s quietest1 operation at 42 dB.

Not only does it keep participants focused, it also contributes to an improved sound environment for applications such as hybrid conferences.

When a quieter environment is required, noise level can be further reduced to 36 dB by setting the projector to QUIET Mode. This helps create an environment where all viewers can concentrate on the presentation. *1 As of March 2023, based on LCD laser projectors with 20,000 lm brightness and above according to internal research.

Pure White Generator Delivers High Brightness and Rich Color

Pure White Generator, developed by Panasonic Connect, contributes to rich color reproduction at high brightness of 11,000 lm. Efficient light collection uses a multi-reflection system to minimize loss of light-source energy noticeable with conventional systems. It achieves an optimal color balance without sacrificing brightness for realistic and accurate color expression.

Dynamic Contrast NX Realizes a New Dimension of Light and Dark Control

Dynamic Contrast NX, a further evolution of Dynamic Contrast, uses a newly developed video-scene analysis circuit to recognize differences in brightness and darkness more precisely than before.

Environmentally Friendly Energy-Saving Design, from Transport to Maintenance

Light and compact body improves loading efficiency and reduces CO2 emissions associated with transport.

In addition, MZ20KL boasts the world’s lowest power consumption of any projector in its class to reduce resources required for daily operation.

Laser light source and filter don’t need to be replaced for 20,000 hours, minimizing use of consumable parts and other waste. From transportation to operation and maintenance, the environmentally friendly design reduces labor and costs while supporting CSR, SDGs, and other green initiatives.

Multi-Laser Drive Engine Anticipates Unforeseen Circumstances

Multi-Laser Drive Engine ensures stable projection even if light-source problems occur.

The projector is equipped with multiple modules consisting of many laser diodes, and in the unlikely event one of the elements malfunctions, Panasonic Connect’s unique Failover Circuitry is activated so that projection can continue with virtually no reduction in brightness.

This allows the projector to be used with peace of mind in situations where a drop in brightness could affect important presentations, such as large-scale lectures and seminars.

Long-Term Stability with Unique Liquid-Cooling System and Dustproof Structure

To achieve high brightness and stable operation, wthey adopted a liquid-cooling system originally developed for our DLP™ projection systems. This efficient design circulates cooling liquid to the light-source modules directly, preventing temperature increases associated with high-brightness projection.

Combined with a highly reliable original dustproof structure, the system enables stable performance even in hot, dusty environments.

Up to 20,000 lm on AC 100–240 V Power

This series is the first in the industry2 to achieve up to 20,000 lm1 on AC 100–240 V input voltage. Conventional projectors require an AC 200–240 V power supply to project at 20,000 lm1, but this series can project images using an ordinary power outlet. This eliminates need for high-voltage power supply installation, and greatly expands the range of situations in which a 20,000 lm-class projector can be deployed.

Black Level Correction to Match Screen Shape

With conventional black level correction, only the width and angle of the black border are specified for correction, making edge-blending on curved screens difficult.

To solve this problem, PT-MZ20KL Series is equipped with a function that allows the shape of black borders to be adjusted to match the screen shape. Using up to 17 points, flexible black level correction is possible even on curved screens, enhancing the sense of cohesion in multi-screen applications.
