An Answer to the Critical Demands for Long-Term Operation

The PT-RZ670/RW630 peak-performing 1-chip DLP™ projectors were developed with the goal of achieving the highest possible image level as flagship models. Joining the ranks of Panasonic’s SOLID SHINE projectors, The PT-RZ670 Series offers the world’s first* 1-chip DLP

image quality for 20,000 hours*

has also entered a new dimension with the PT-RZ670 Series.

In addition, starting with the professional features in our

agship models for large-venue applications, a host of functions reect the technology and know-how that Panasonic has accumulated over more than 30 years of projec-

tor development. The PT-RZ670 Series is setting new 21st

century standards for reliable, high-quality projectors that

easily meet the demands of critical professionals.

High Brightness of 6,500 lm

A new heat-resistant material is used in the phosphor wheel to withstand the high output of the laser light source. Combined with a drive system that is also optimized for the light source, this made it possible to achieve the world’s

6,500 lm*2 of brightness in a 1-chip DLP™

rst* projector. In our Quartet Color Harmonizer, optimal engineering of the color wheel mechanism has improved color reproduction by reducing energy loss from the light source. This has resulted in a perceived brightness that even exceeds the specication val-

Dynamic Light Control for High 10,000:1* Contrast Ratio

The PT-RZ670 Series projectors directly control the output of the laser light source itself, enabling faster response than lamp-based projectors. Frame-by-frame scene-linking modulation with complete digital control makes it possible to adjust the light output with higher precision. This gives the PT-RZ670 Series its remarkable 10,000:1*

contrast without lowering the bright-

ness in bright scenes. This enables highly pre-

cise contrast control even when bright and dark scenes suddenly or frequently interchange. There is also almost no reduction in contrast when the projector is used for extended periods of time.

Ideal White Balance for All Picture Modes: Superior Color Reproduction.

Unique, optimal Panasonic engineering eliminated the white segment from a conventional color wheel and achieved an ideal mixture of the four R, G, B, and Y colors to give the color wheel mechanism in the PT-RZ670 Series a greatly improved white balance. This takes full advantage of the SOLID SHINE Series to produce almost pure white even in Dynamic mode (brightness 6500 lm). And in other modes as well, optimally balanced, high-denition images are projected with little loss of brightness. Color reproduction approaches the level of our high-end agship models.

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

expression.

Dual Drive Laser Optical Engine for Reliable 24/7 Operation

It is almost impossible to imagine that a laser light source would suddenly go blank. The Dual Drive Laser Optical Engine uses two sets of light sources that group laser diodes into a number of modules. Based on redundant design, the laser diodes are put to considerable use, so over the long term, if a laser diode were to stop functioning, a protective circuit would activate to keep the brightness drop extremely small. Even if this were to happen during 24/7 operation, it would not result in downtime. The dual drive structure also keeps the optical engine output uniformly bright and colorful even if the light source’s original brightness is different due to aging degradation.

Long-Lasting Image Quality Featuring Constant Brightness Modes

While the brightness of a conventional lampbased projector drops rapidly due to deterioration over time, the brightness of the laser light source decreases gradually (exhibiting a linear decrease over the time of usage). The PT-RZ670 Series maintains high brightness for 20,000 hours* more. In addition, built-in brightness and color sensors optimally maintain brightness and color balance with high precision, to dramatically suppress the effects of time-related deterioration. Together with a durable optical system, the PT-RZ670 Series maintains excellent picture quality for a long period of time. In many cases, this means no maintenance for about 20,000 hours.*

The PT-RZ670 Series employs a specially developed cooling system for the laser light source to suppress temperature rises, allowing stable operation up to an ambient temperature of 45°C

(113°F).*

The use of this cooling system also achieves quiet operation of 35 dB, enabling viewers to concentrate on the projected content. And the system is also well suited to installation in libraries and museums.

The liquid cooling system directly cools the laser light source modules. This enables the PT-RZ670 Series to operate even in an ambient temperature of up to 45°C (113°F).*

The system is hermetically sealed for stable operation.

Dust-Resistant Structure with an Airtight Optical Block

The area between the laser light source to the

chip and prism is sealed to form an air-

DLP tight structure for the optical block, the heart of the projector. The PT-RZ670 Series is tested in harsh environments with dust levels of

0.15 mg/m

.*7 This has made it possible to achieve a construction that minimizes the decrease in brightness due to dust. This resists the effects of dust and other particles in the air, and enables use of the projector in a wide range of environments.

The light source’s lifetime may be shortened due to environmental conditions. Dustproof tests are conducted to confirm effectiveness, under conditions of 0.15 mg/m late matter (based on tests by the A merican S ociety of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHARE), and the Japanese Building Maintenance Association).
