Panasonic enters the top of laser projection 30.000 lumens with PT-RZ31K

The Spanish subsidiary has presented its first team with this high luminosity, a range segment that was not covered, to fifty rental companies during two events held in Barcelona and Madrid, with a positive reception for its quality and benefits.

Available on the market next November, the new PT-RZ31K from Panasonic represents the manufacturer's entry into the very small high-end laser projection segment of 30.000 ansi lumens, or as the company highlights as a differential, in the 31.000 center lumens (luminosity is measured at the center, thus providing greater color uniformity and a more balanced measurement, especially good for synchronizing two or more projectors in blending).

To show in detail this powerful equipment, designed for the rental market and part of the PT-RZ series of three-chip DLP projectors based on Solid Shine laser technology, Panasonic Spain has brought together the main rental companies, first to around twenty companies at the Cornellà Auditorium in Barcelona, and yesterday with a similar capacity in the Odeón Multicines Rooms in Madrid.

As Oriol Massagué explains, product manager de Panasonic Visual de PSCEU, a Digital AV Magazine, “The idea of ​​this event was to show the capacity of this laser projector of 30.000 lumens on a large screen, like a cinema, so that rental companies could appreciate in detail the power, colorimetry, resolution,…which contributes to applications such as events, scenarios, etc”.

Panasonic PT-RZ31K, in WUXGA and SXGA+ resolutions and contrast ratio 20.000:1, incorporates a sealed optical block, an exclusive Panasonic system that eliminates the need to change the filter, “so it is a totally maintenance-free projector.

Besides, This projector offers the professional two modes of action (high mode y normal mode) to establish a certain working luminosity and thus extend the useful life cycle of the equipment”, points out Massagué.

Other differentials of this projector 79 Kg. of weight is that “it doesn't make noise; "It is very quiet for a device of this size and luminosity," explains the Panasonic manager., to which is added that it does not produce much heat, two highly appreciated advantages in rental applications and in 24/7 operations”.

PT-RZ31K is also compatible with all three-chip DLP optics and can be installed in any position, allowing you to select the direction of the objective without having to move the optics. Besides, incorporates Digital Link to send the video signal, audio and control through a single LAN cable, thus simplifying the installation.

“The acceptance of rental companies has been very positive,” says Massagué.. It must be taken into account that Panasonic has been a pioneer in the development of the first laser projectors on the market, more than five years ago, we are at the head of the segment above 5.000 lumens. Now we enter the league of 30.000 in laser projection and we will continue to increase the portfolio from below to provide complete solutions”.

One of the novelties of the manufacturer in this sense is that at the beginning of 2017 The first projectors of this range with 4K technology will be presented on the market.
