Description

Making Immersive 4K Visuals More Accessible

Panasonic’s first 4K1 LCD projector delivers immersive detail from a sub-8 kg body—the smallest and lightest in its class2. Proprietary 2-axis pixel-shifting technology and high 8,000 lm3 brightness ensure clear, dimensional 4K1 visuals even in bright rooms. Precise detail reproduction suits diverse applications—from corporate and education spaces to experiential attractions such as museums—while Vivid Green Mode enhances natural greens for golf simulation.

Easy to Handle with Flexible Installation

A compact, lightweight design and convenient adjustment tools simplify transport, installation, and image alignment. The 1.6x optical zoom and wide-range lens shift provide flexibility to fit various installation spaces, while Angle Monitor streamlines single-person installation. With 4K DIGITAL LINK4 and two CEC command-compatible5 HDMI™ inputs, the series integrates into existing systems and supports widescreen (21:9/27:9) formats6 for modern visual applications.

Efficient, Eco-Conscious Design

Advanced optical engineering delivers high-brightness 4K1 performance with outstanding energy efficiency of up to approximately 20 lm/W7. An Image Detection8 function automatically reduces light output when the projected image remains unchanged for a set period, saving power. The projector’s plastic body parts incorporate approximately 50%9 recycled resin, while recyclable paper trays replace foam insulation in the shipping carton, further reducing environmental impact.
