Overview
The Panasonic PT-RZ24K redefines efficiency in high-performance projection and is aimed specifically at AV integrators in the large venue sector. As the world's smallest and lightest 20,000-lumen projector in its class, it enables one-person installation in demanding environments such as lecture halls or digital signage projects. The maintenance-free laser light source and dust-resistant housing guarantee reliable continuous operation under professional conditions.
Benefits and special features
- 3-chip DLP technology for outstanding colour saturation and lasting image uniformity at 20,000 ISO lumens.
- Compact design weighing just 35.0 kg simplifies handling and saves valuable installation time.
- Integrated Intel SDM-compatible slot allows flexible expansion with various interface boards.
- Full 24/7 operational readiness with a hermetically sealed optical unit for low-maintenance service.
- Maximum flexibility thanks to 360° installation and portrait mode for creative projection solutions.
- Multi-projector sync and edge blending functions for seamless panoramic projections with multiple units.
Picture and sound quality
Based on three 20.3 mm (0.8-inch) DMD chips (DLP technology), the Panasonic PT-RZ24K delivers native WUXGA resolution of 1,920 x 1,200 pixels. The Dynamic Contrast system achieves a contrast ratio of 20,000:1, while the ISO-certified brightness of 20,000 lumens ensures reliable display in brightly lit rooms. As a 3-chip projector, it achieves identical white and colour brightness of 20,000 lumens – for true-to-colour images without the rainbow effect.
