Splendid Images from a
Compact Body

Incredible 20,000 lm*1 of Brightness
Panasonic’s unique quad-lamp system, with its
new high-power UHM
lamps, has helped to
make the body ex­tremely compact while
providing an astound­ing 20,000 lm*

of

brightness.

Dynamic Iris for a High 10,000:1*

Contrast Ratio

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

3

contrast without lowering its
high brightness. This helps
to reproduce deeper, richer
blacks, and provides images
with more detailed textures.

Detail Clarity Processor 3 Gives Natural
Clarity to Even the Finest Details

This unique Panasonic circuit optimizes the
sharpness of each image, based on the super­high-, high-, medium-, and low-frequency com-

ponents of the extracted image information. The
resulting images have more natural, lifelike
expression.

System Daylight View 2 for Enhanced
Color Perception

This unique Panasonic technology optimizes
image quality to improve the color perception of
the projected image in bright rooms. With a
brightness of 20,000 lm*

1

, it provides highly
comfortable viewing even in bright lighting,
and allows viewers to concentrate easily on
the images.

Waveform Monitor Function

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-DZ21K Series
projector you can view the waveforms on the
screen and adjust the settings either automati­cally or manually as you prefer.

DICOM Simulation Mode*

4

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

Active 3D Projection Capability

(PT-DZ21K/DS20K)

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.

Advanced Technologies for
Excellent Image Quality

• 3D color management system • Full 10-bit
image processing • Progressive cinema scan
(3:2 pulldown) • Dynamic sharpness control

• Digital noise reduction • IP conversion

• AI scene control • 2:2 pulldown mode

• sRGB compatibility • Fine-adjustable color
temperature

High Reliability and Low TCO
with Easy Maintenance

Low TCO and an Environmentally
Friendly Design

The PT-DZ21K Series projectors lower the total
cost of ownership (

TCO) because they have a

lamp replacement cycle of up to 2,000 hours*

2

.
Their environmentally friendly design also
includes a low power consumption of 2,300 W.

Four-Lamp System Enables Stable,
Extended Operation

The four-lamp system allows the projector to
keep working even if a lamp should fail. The
Lamp Relay mode also operates the lamps alter-
nately to enable 24/7 projection. Quad, Triple,
Dual and Single Lamp modes can be used.

Easy Lamp Replacement

For easier maintenance, you can replace the
lamp from the rear. This makes it easy to replace
a lamp while the projector is still in the mounting
bracket or dual stacked.

Liquid Cooling System Attains a High Level
of Reliability

This new liquid cooling system directly cools the
DLP™ chip to improve performance and enable
operation up to 45 °C (113 °F).*

5

It allows quiet
(49 dB) and versatile use while stabilizing perfor-
mance. It also helps to make the body compact.
And the system is hermetically sealed, so you
don’t need to replenish the liquid.

Eco Filter that Needs No Maintenance for
up to 12,000 Hours*

6

The Eco Filter has an electrostatic Micro Cut
Filter that collects minute dust particles with an
ion effect. It combines with the dust-resistant
cabinet to enable long-term use even under
harsh conditions. Its maintenance cycle of up to
12,000 hours reduces
hassle, and the environ-
mental design lets you
wash the filter with water
and reuse it.*

System and Installation Flexibil-
ity with Diverse Functions

Flexible Installation

The wide adjustment
range of the powered
horizontal/vertical lens
shift function can be easi-
ly adjusted with the
remote control. The unit
can also be rotated 360°
vertically*

8

, to accommodate various installation
conditions. The lens-centered design contributes
to easy installation.

Multi-Unit Brightness Control

This function automatically corrects the bright-
ness fluctuations that occur over time in the
individual projectors of a multi-screen system. Up
to eight projectors can be controlled by connect-
ing to each other via a hub, and this can be
increased to a maximum of 2,048 projectors by
using “Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Soft-
ware Ver. 2.7.”

Multi-Screen Support System Seamlessly
Connects Multiple Screens

• Edge Blending: The edges of adjacent screens
can be blended and their luminance controlled.

• Color Matching: This function corrects for slight
variations in the color reproduction range of indi-
vidual projectors. The PC software assures easy,
accurate control.

• Multi-Screen Processor: The PT-DZ21K Series
can project large, multi-screen images without
any additional equipment. Up to 100 units (10 ×

10) can be edge-blended at a time.

The Panasonic PT-DZ21K Series of flagship models feature

breathtakingly beautiful images and reliable operation.

A host of creative capabilities meet the

projection needs of highly critical professionals.
