Wireless/Wired Remote Included Enhanced Color with up to 10,000 Lumens of Brightness
The PT-RZ970 is designed to produce enhanced images with DLP technology for high-resolution detail, dual-laser modules for up to 10,000 lumens of brightness, the Quartet Color Harmonizer for reduced energy loss from the light source, and a heat-resistant phosphor wheel., is compatible with Art-Net DMX protocol for lighting management, allowing the projector to be connected to a lighting console, opening the door to a range of added functionality and control options. The onboard LAN/DIGITAL LINK terminal also supports Crestron Connected and PJLink (Class 1), for integration into an existing A/V network utilizing multiple device brands. Quick Start, Quick Off, can be operated remotely over a LAN network via a computer’s web browser. Projectors can be configured to alert you via email if an error has occurred.
Wireless/Wired Remote Included Augmented White Balance and Color Reproduction
The Quartet Color Harmonizer wheel mechanism is engineered to capture a wide color space, which allows for white to be reproduced more realistically on-screen.
Wireless/Wired Remote Included Laser Module Maintains Picture Quality over Time
Wireless/Wired Remote Included Thanks to the dual solid-state laser modules, there are no lamps to replace, and image color and brightness degrade gradually in consistent, linear fashion. As well as reducing maintenance hassle, out-of-the-box picture quality is preserved longer.
The PT-RZ970 directly modulates laser power output to achieve high contrast with low power consumption. Digitally controlled frame-by-frame scene-linking modulation helps ensure precise output adjustment, while 10,000:1 dynamic contrast is delivered even when bright and dark scenes frequently interchange.
Light Control for High Contrast Detail Clarity Processor 3 Sharpens Details
Light Control for High Contrast System Daylight View 3 for Bright Environments, Daylight View 3 helps prevent images from washing out in well-lit environments, enhancing brightness perception in multi-projector mapping applications by adjusting sharpness and gamma curves and correcting colors for an augmented visual impact.
Engineered for Stable 24/7 Operation with Light Source Failover Protection
The Dual-Drive Laser Optical Engine groups laser diodes into two discrete modules. A fail-safe redundancy circuit works to minimize loss of brightness uniformity and color uniformity if a laser diode fails, making the projector suitable for mission-critical applications. Furthermore, brightness decreases more gradually and consistently than lamp-based projectors over a 20,000-hour maintenance-free projection period.
Dust-Resistant Airtight Optical Block The optical block is airtight, which helps to ensure consistent image quality for up to 20,000 hours without maintenance. The optical block design passed testing to assure reliability in environments with up to 0.15mg of particulate matter per cubic meter, preventing brightness degradation from dust intrusion.
Dust-Resistant Airtight Optical Block Selectable Operational Modes Help Maintain Image Quality
Dust-Resistant Airtight Optical Block Contrast Sync and Shutter Sync Functions
The PT-RZ970 features contrast and shutter sync functions for multi-screen and mapping applications. Contrast sync allows the projector’s digitally modulated contrast function to be synchronized over the network for consistent picture quality across screens. Shutter sync incorporates a master/slave principle to synchronize shutter on/off timing between all networked projectors. It includes simultaneous fade-in and fade-out functions.
Multi-Screen Support System Connects Multiple Screens With edge blending, edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their luminance controlled. Color matching corrects for slight variations in the color reproduction range of individual projectors. Computer software helps provide easy, accurate control.
Multi-Unit Brightness and Color Control This function is designed to automatically correct brightness and color fluctuations that occur over time in individual projectors in a multi-screen system. Control up to eight projectors connected via a hub, and up to a maximum of 2048 projectors with Multi-Monitoring & Control Software.
Multi-Unit Brightness and Color Control Geometric Adjustment adapts the image for projection onto spherical, cylindrical, and other shaped screens. Fine-tuning is performed via the remote control, with no external equipment needed. Paired with the Multi-Screen Support System, creative mapping presentations are possible in a variety of event and staging applications.
Geometry Manager Pro Software This software is designed to expand built-in functionality to make complex adjustments easier. The free software package includes enhanced color matching and edge blending for multi-screen projection and adjustment of multiple screens over the network. An optional upgrade kit for this software adds creative masking capability using either four lines or bitmap data, as well as uniformity correction and correction area expansion.
Geometry Manager Pro Software Reduce Inventory Costs with Shared Lenses
The PT-RZ970 shares optional lenses with other Panasonic projectors, reducing TCO for staging and event companies with large projector inventories. These lenses are designed to attach and detach with one-touch ease.
Geometry Manager Pro Software Single-Cable DIGITAL LINK Control and Video Connection
Geometry Manager Pro Software Upward HDBaseT-compatible DIGITAL LINK supports transmission of uncompressed Full HD video and control commands through a single Cat5e or higher STP cable for distances up to 492′. An optional DIGITAL LINK Switcher or Digital Interface Box can further simplify installation in large venues while reducing cost and improving reliability. Free 360 Rotation
Geometry Manager Pro Software The projector can be rotated 360 for installation and projection at virtually any angle.
Geometry Manager Pro Software The laser light source doesn’t require any warm-up, so images appear almost instantly (in about one second). There’s also no cool-down period needed when turning the power off at the mains the projector can be turned on and off any time as necessary.
Multi-Monitoring and Control Software The software offers monitoring and control of up to 2048 devices over a LAN network from a single computer. For monitoring, status for individual devices can be listed in groups, with more detailed information shown separately. Control functions include power on/off, input switching, scheduling, and command inputs.
Multi-Monitoring and Control Software Backup Input Setting Helps Optimize Performance
Multi-Monitoring and Control Software This feature allows for smooth switching to a backup input signal should the primary signal be disrupted, helping to ensure reliability for mission-critical control rooms, projection mapping, staging, and in other applications where image display must be maintained. Web Browser Control
Optional Early Warning Software Early Warning Software monitors the status of projectors and displays connected to an intranet and informs you when an abnormality is detected or predicted, or when there are symptoms of trouble, helping to minimize downtime for stable operation. Additional Features
