Panasonic PTDZ6700U

Panasonic's PT-DZ6700U 1-chip DLPâ„¢ projectors now offer even brighter and more vivid images with full high-definition resolution.  Along with the RGB Booster, which combines high brightness and superb color reproduction, a host of technologies work together to enhance image quality.  The Dual-Lamp System and Auto Cleaning Filter extend operating stability and contribute to reliability. The PT-DZ6700U also offers high image quality and easy system expansion to increase system integration flexibility.

The PT-DZ6700U's RGB Booster achieves high image quality with levels of color reproduction (up to 145% that of conventional models) and brightness that make each color stand out.  It combines Panasonic's proprietary Vivid Color Control technology with a newly engineered Lamp Modulation Drive System for a 1-chip DLPâ„¢ projector that produces bright and vivid colors.

Vivid Color Control is a unique control technology that 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 Panasonic's new lamp modulation technology, the projector is now 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.

The PT-DZ6700U has an array of terminals – two RGB inputs including a 5-BNC connector, a serial in/out terminal, one S-video input, two remote in terminals, one remote out terminal, one DVI-D (HDCP [High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection] compliant), and control capability – to support a broad range of projection needs.  Using the serial terminal (RS232C), it is possible to connect and operate AMX and Crestron control systems with ease.

Image details are less clear when a projector is used in a room with the lights on.  This problem becomes more significant when images require increasing levels of detail expression.  Panasonic's System Daylight View 2 optimizes image quality to improve color perception of the projected image in bright rooms.  Gamma curves and sharpness, in addition to conventional color correction are adjusted to bring a sense of sharpness to the entire screen and reproduce stunning images with life-like depth. This results in highly comfortable viewing even in bright lighting, and allows viewers to concentrate more easily on the images.

The Detail Clarity Processor is an advanced image-processing circuit that 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 more natural, three-dimensional appearance with crisp, clear detail.

To increase visual impact, projector images are often viewed from a comparatively close position relative to the screen size.  The characteristics of the human eye, however, tend to cause changes in colors when images are viewed close-up on a large screen.  Changes in color saturation, hue, and brightness differ from color to color, and conventional projectors were not able to make the appropriate corrections.  3D Color Management makes these corrections to produce accurate colors that are very close to the original images even when viewed on a large screen.

Additional Features:

• Flexible +/-360 degree installation
• Multi-screen support system - connects multiple screens (edgeblending of up to 100 units, color matching)
• Panasonic's 300-watt AC lamps feature high-efficiency lightconvergence technology and independently developed color wheel work togetherto achieve the high brightness of 6,000 lm.
• Dynamic sharpness control circuit - adjusts the video signalwaveforms based on the difference in brightness of adjacent pixels for asharp, clear picture that is relatively unaffected by signal noise
• Full 10-bit picture processing - provides smooth tonalexpression
• More effective noise reduction - lowers image graininess forclearer images and improves MPEG noise
  reduction
• Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 pulldown) - Thisinterlace/progressive conversion technology automatically detects
  when theinput signal is derived from filmed material and selects the optimumprogressive processing method to assure faithful reproduction of the originalimage
• Dual-Lamp System - increases brightness and eliminates theneed to interrupt a presentation if a lamp should burn out (in dual-lampoperation mode).  The Lamp Relay mode also operates the lamps alternatelyto enable 24/7 projector operation.
• Reliable liquid cooling system - directly cools the DLPâ„¢ chip,which extends performance.  It also enables operation intemperatures up to 113°F/45°C for use in a wider variety of environments, andmaintains a more stable performance even in harsh conditions while keeping theoperating sound down.
• Auto Cleaning Filter - automatically exposes a clean filtersurface when it senses that the filter is clogged.  The ACFalso
  brushes away dust that adheres to the filter, which helps preventclogging that can impair operation or cause malfunction. This helps maintainthe highly efficient electrostatic filter, the Micro Cut Filter's superiordust-collecting performance.  As a result, the filter does not need to bereplaced for over 10,000 hours (approx.), reducing the hassle ofmaintenance.
• Dustproof design -courtesy of the PTDZ6700U's sealed opticalblock
• Wide adjustment range of the horizontal/vertical lens shift -assures virtually distortion-free images and adds convenience andversatility.  It lets you easily make adjustments with the remotecontrol, making it optimal for ceiling-mounted applications.
• Web Browser Control/Monitoring & e-mail message alert -the PTDX6700U can easily be operated remotely over a LAN network, because it'sall done using the computer's familiar web browser.  The projector sendsan e-mail message to notify the operator when an error has occurred, or a lampneeds to be replaced.
• Multi-projector monitoring & control software - allows theuser to control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time viaLAN.  When a problem occurs, an alarm message is sent to themonitoring/controlling PC.
• Standby mode - a low stand-by power level of 0.2 W, which is atop-class level for the projector industry.  Helps slash running costs,and reduces environmental impact.
