OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE
FOR LARGE-SPACE VIEWING
A 2-model lineup with the High-Brightness,
16,000-lm PT-EX16K and 13,000-lm PT-EX12K.
BALANCING THE FACTORS REQUIRED TO FILL LARGE
SPACES WITH BREATHTAKING IMAGES.
The PT-EX16K and PT-EX12K render crisp, clear, large-screen images with the remarkable brightness of 16,000 lm
and 13,000 lm, respectively. Pure Colour Control, which independently controls yellow brightness to improve colour
reproduction, attains this superb brightness with optimal colouring. And the Multi-Lamp Optical System maintains
high reliability. System expansion functions include horizontal/vertical lens shift and a Multi-Screen Support
System. These and other features enable flexible installation for a wide variety of applications.

A Full 16,000 lm of Brightness and 2,500:1 Contrast
The 4-Lamp Optical System uses high-output, 380 W UHM lamps to deliver
remarkable 16,000-lm brightness. And the contrast ratio is a high 2,500:1,
to ensure bright, crisp, large-screen projection.
EX-12K
High 13,000-lm Brightness and 4,000:1 Contrast
The 2-Lamp Optical System uses high-output, 380 W UHM lamps to produce high
brightness of 13,000 lm. Contrast is also high at 4,000:1. Images are sharp and crisp.

Full 10-Bit Image Processing System
The use of a full 10-bit image processing system provides smooth tonal expression.
For example, skin tones appear natural and true to life.

Excellent Colours with Pure Colour Control
It is inherently difficult for LCD projectors to attain both high brightness and superb
colour reproduction. For this reason, in addition to the three conventional LCD panels
that control the light intensity for the red, blue and green primary colours, the PTEX16K/EX12K also features a Pure Colour Control function that independently controls
the light intensity of yellow colouring. This provides rich overall colour expression
while maintaining brightness.

The Multi-Lamp Optical System
Enables Stable, Extended Operation
Even if one lamp goes out during use, the other lamps continue, so projection is not
interrupted. Lamp Relay mode also allows long-time, continuous operation.

Highly Durable Optical Engine
Ensures Excellent Long-Time Image Quality
The LCD panels and polarizers inside the LCD projector’s optical block tend to degrade over
time. Their degradation adversely affects image quality. Inorganic materials are used for
the LCD panels, and for the polarizers that are prone to degradation, to resist time-related
changes in the optical block, therefore achieving a replacement cycle of up to 10,000 hours.

*1 The values above are maximum values when they are used in cycles of being turned on for 2 hours and
off for 0.25 hours. When the lamps are turned on and off more frequently, the lamp replacement cycle
is shortened. The usage environment affects the lamp replacement cycle.
*2 With the lamp power set to Normal. The usage environment affects the duration of the filter.
*3 Electrostatic filters.
*4 When washing with water, please follow the procedures listed in the operating instructions. Also, we
recommend replacing the filter with a new one after it has been washed and reused twice. If the filter
is not sufficiently clean after washing, replace it with a new one.

Adverse Dust Effects Prevented by a Long-Lasting Air Filter
The use of a large pleated air filter has made it possible to achieve a replacement
cycle of up to 5,000 hours*2. This greatly reduces maintenance hassles. The filter
is also replaced from the front, so there is no need to detach the projector from
its mounting bracket in ceiling-mounted applications.
EX-12K
Long-Lasting Eco Filter with
User-Friendly Maintenance
The PT-EX12K features the Eco Filter, which efficiently captures dust and requires no
replacement for up to 12,000 hours*2. It consists of Micro Cut Filters*3 that use an ion
effect to collect extremely small dust particles. These large-surface, pleated filters
have a high dust collecting performance. In addition to its long replacement cycle, the
Eco Filter can be washed with water
*4
for repeated use, further increasing its ecological
performance. The Eco Filter can also be removed through the top panel of the projector,
enabling filter replacement on ceiling-mounted projectors without having to detach the
projector from its mounting bracket.
EX-16K
Optional Smoke Cut Filter Provides
Protection from Fine Smoke Particles
The projector can be equipped with an optional Smoke Cut Filter ET-SFE16 to prevent
the entry of not only dust but also fine smoke particles, such as those used for
special effects at events and stage performances.
