Product Overview

Vivid Picture Quality with High Brightness

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 10,000 lm.

Panasonic's Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a remarkable 10,000:1* 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

This unique Panasonic technology optimizes image quality to improve the color perception of the projected image in bright rooms. With a brightness of 10,000 lm, it provides highly comfortable viewing even in bright lighting, and allows viewers to concentrate easily on the images.

This imaging mode is similar to DICOM part 14, which is a medical imaging standard. It reproduces X-ray images with remarkable clarity.

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.

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.

The PT-DX100 features native WUXGA resolution for full-HD viewing. This brings you lifelike projection of intricate, highly detailed images.

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.

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.

*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.

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.

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.

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.

NOTE: Audio signals cannot be transmitted because the PT-DZ870 Series has no speaker or audio output terminal.

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.

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.

NOTE: HDBaseT™ is a trademark of the HDBaseT Alliance.

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.

The Multi-Screen Support System optimally adjusts multiple screens: Edge blending, color matching and multi-screen processor.

The edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their luminance controlled.

This function corrects for slight variations in the color reproduction range of individual projectors. The PC software assures easy, accurate control.

The PT-DZ870 Series projectors can project large, multi-screen images without any additional equipment. Up to 100 units (10 x 10) can be edge-blended at a time.

This function automatically corrects the brightness fluctuations that occur over time in the individual projectors of a multi-screen system. Up to eight projectors can be controlled by connecting to each other via a hub, and this can be increased to a maximum of 2,048 projectors by using "Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Software."

The Geometry Manager Pro software included in the optional upgrade kit ET-UK20 supports Color Matching, Edge Blending, uniformity correction, and other useful functions for multi-projector setups (max. 32 units).

It also allows creative masking using four lines or bitmap data. And its flexible and complex geometric adjustment capability suits a wide variety of screen shapes.

The series is compatible with both passive and active 3D projection systems. It combines with either a separate, external 100/120/144 Hz drive with IR emitter and active shutter glasses, or an active filter and passive glasses, for viewing 3D images.

The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal/vertical lens shift function can be easily adjusted with the remote control. The unit can also be rotated 360° vertically, to accommodate various installation conditions. The lens-centered design contributes to easy Installation.

Portrait projection is possible by mounting the optional ET-LAD120P or ET-LAD120PW lamp units, updating the projector's firmware to MAIN Ver. 2.00 or later, and installing the projector with its terminal side surface facing downward. Portrait mode adds more solutions for projection mapping, staging, and other needs.

*Please contact the sales representative with regard to the frame for portrait orientation. Installation is possible only with the terminal side facing downward. Horizontal rotation and vertical rotation are both limited to 15 degrees. Also, the lamp replacement cycle is 1,000 hours with the LAMP POWER set to NORMAL mode in dual lamp operation, and is affected by the usage environment.

** To check the firmware version, press the <STATUS> button on the remote control. [MAIN VERSION] of the firmware can be checked on the [STATUS] menu screen.

*** The ET-LAD120P and ET-LAD120PW cannot be used when the projector is in landscape orientation.

The PT-DZ870 Series has an array of terminals, including 3D sync, DVI-D and HDMI terminals. The PT-DZ870 also features an SDI (SD-, HD-, and 3G-SDI) input terminal.

Web browser on a computer connected through a wired LAN system lets you remotely operate projectors and check their status. An e-mail messaging function can also notify you when a lamp needs replacement, and indicate the overall projector status.

In addition, Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software is available for monitoring and controlling multiple Panasonic projectors from a single PC.

The wired LAN terminal is compatible with PJLink™ (class1), an open protocol that is used by many manufacturers, to enable integrated control of systems that contain different brands of projectors.
