Panasonic PT-DW830ULK 8500 Lumens WXGA DLP Projector, No Lens

Vivid Picture Quality with High Brightness

Bright 8,500 lm from Compact Body - A unique dual-lamp drive system has helped to make the body compact, while two newly developed, high-output, 420 W lamps provide high brightness of 8,500 lm.

Dynamic Iris for a High 8,500:1* Contrast Ratio - Panasonic's Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a remarkable 8,500:1* contrast without lowering its high brightness. This helps to reproduce deeper, richer blacks, and provides images with more detailed textures.

*Full on/off, with dynamic iris on.

The New Dynamic RGB Booster Enhances Both Brightness and Color Reproduction - Panasonic's RGB Booster achieves high image quality with levels of color reproduction and brightness that make each color stand out. It combines Panasonic's proprietary Vivid Color Control technology with a Lamp Modulation Drive System for a 1-chip DLP™ projector that produces bright and vivid colors. This has been further advanced in the PT-DZ870 Series with the development of the Dynamic RGB Booster. Images are analyzed frame by frame, and scene-linking and realtime modulation are used to achieve high brightness and vivid color reproduction.

Conventional System - Because the lamp power was fixed, color reproduction was enhanced by sacrificing brightness.

Dynamic RGB Booster - Images are analyzed frame by frame, and the lamp output is modulated to match each scene. This achieves optimal brightness and color reproduction for a wide variety of scenes. The boost amount is controlled in real time as the images are projected.

Vivid Color Control - This unique 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.

Lamp Modulation Drive System - 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.

Detail Clarity Processor 3 Gives Natural Clarity to Even the Finest Details - This unique Panasonic circuit optimizes the sharpness of each image, based on the super-high-, high-, medium-, and low-frequency components of the extracted image information. The resulting images have more natural, lifelike expression.

System Daylight View 2 for Enhanced Color Perception - This unique Panasonic technology optimizes image quality to improve the color perception of the projected image in bright rooms. With a brightness of 8,500 lm, it provides highly comfortable viewing even in bright lighting, and allows viewers to concentrate easily on the images.

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.

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.

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 the PT-DZ870 Series projector you can view the waveforms on the screen and adjust the settings either automatically or manually as you prefer.

Full-HD Ready WUXGA Resolution - The PT-DZ870 features native WUXGA resolution for full-HD viewing. This brings you lifelike projection of intricate, highly detailed images.

Panasonic's Original 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. *If the projector is to be operated continuously 24 hours a day/7 days a week, use the dual-lamp optical system's alternating lamp operation (lamp changer) function. The projector cannot be operated continuously 24 hours a day/7 days a week in dual-lamp mode. Allow a minimum of two hours per week of non-operation time per lamp if using the dual-lamp mode.

Long Lamp Life Contributes to Low TCO - The PT-DZ870 Series projectors lower the total cost of ownership because they have a lamp replacement cycle of up to 4,000 hours.*With the LAMP POWER set to ECO mode in dual lamp operation. The usage environment affects the lamp replacement cycle. Lamp Mode Brightness Lamp Replacement Cycle Dual: Normal 8,500 lumens 3,000 hours; Dual: Eco

A Heat-Pipe Cooling System Maintains Stable Operation up to 45°C - *An optical cooling system featuring a heat pipe block suppresses temperature rises inside the projector and allows stable operation up to an ambient temperature of 45°C (113°F).* The use of this heat-pipe cooling system also achieves quiet operation, enabling viewers to concentrate on the presentation or on quiet movie scenes. *The operating temperature range is 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F) when used in locations from 1,400 m to 2,700 m (4,953 ft to 8,858 ft) above sea level. If the ambient temperature exceeds 35°C (95°F), the light output may be reduced to protect the projector.

Dust-Resistant Optical Block - The optical block, the heart of the projector, is hermetically sealed to resist the effects of dust and other particles in the air, which makes it possible to remove the air filters for optics. It also contributes to the low TCO.

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. *The lamp filter must be replaced at the same time as the lamp.

DIGITAL LINK Transmits Digital Signals up to 100 m (328 ft) with a Single Cable - Equipped with a DIGITAL LINK terminal, the PT-DZ870 Series allows transmission of HDMI, uncompressed HD digital video and control signals (Ethernet, RS-232C) for up to 100 meters (328 feet) through a single CAT5e (STP) cable or higher. This simplifies cabling and system upgrades, making it ideal for ceiling-mounted and other permanent installations.

Optional ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box for Easy Setup - By combining the optional ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box, with its HDMI and other input terminals, uncompressed HD digital video and control signals can be transmitted up to 100 m (328 feet) over a single CAT5e (STP) cable or higher. It allows projector connection with only one cable, making it ideal for ceiling-mounted and other permanent installations. Also, because control signals can be simultaneously transmitted, the ET-YFB100G input signal can easily be switched with the wireless remote control that is included with the projector. The projector can be controlled by either serial or LAN communication.

Also Supports Other Manufacturers' Peripheral Equipment - DIGITAL LINK is an original function added to HDBaseT™ technology. Used together with the ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box, or other compatible equipment, the installation of this projector is easier than ever, without any need for external receivers.

Art-Net* Compatible - The PT-DZ870 Series projector is compatible with the Art-Net protocol for lighting management. Art-Net compatibility lets you connect the projector to the lighting console, and operate functions such as shutter on/off, input change, power on/off, etc., together with the light control. *Art-Net is a protocol for transmitting the lighting control protocol DMX512 over the Ethernet.
