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

6,500*2 lm of brightness in a laser light source

™

projector. Panasonic’s original “Quartet Color
Harmonizer” reproduces optimally efcient colors and images
that approach those of high-end agship models. Plus, the
unprecedented reliability of the solid-state light source maintains

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™

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

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

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

Dust-Resistant Structure with an Airtight
Optical Block

The area between the laser light source to the

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.
