Overview
The Panasonic PT-RZ12K was developed specifically for demanding installations in large conference rooms and lecture halls and for staging. By combining SOLID SHINE laser technology with a 3-chip DLP system, this projector delivers extremely high brightness with excellent colour fidelity. The filterless housing design and liquid-cooled laser unit make it ideal for low-maintenance continuous operation under professional conditions.
Benefits and special features
- Native WUXGA resolution with 3-chip DLP technology for first-class colour saturation and depth of detail.
- Maintenance-free laser light source for up to 20,000 hours of operation without light source replacement.
- Liquid-cooled system enables stable operation at ambient temperatures of up to 50 °C.
- Flexible 360-degree installation and portrait mode for creative projections in any orientation.
- DIGITAL LINK transmits uncompressed HD video, audio and control signals over a single CAT5e/6 cable.
- Backup input function switches immediately to a second input if the signal is lost.
- Real Motion Processor enables smooth reproduction at a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
- DICOM simulation mode for optimised display of medical X-ray images in training contexts.
