Panasonic ET-D3QW200: short throw optics for PT-RQ50K projector

Designed to respond to the demand for indoor entertainment, short distance optics Panasonic ET-D3QW200 eliminates the separation between viewers and content, achieving highly realistic native 4K resolution.

Panasonic has introduced short distance zoom optics for its projector 3 chips DLP PT-RQ50K of 50.000 lumens ET-D3QW200. This responds to the growing demand for indoor entertainment, an industry where brilliant, high-resolution images and compact installation are required.

Panasonic ET-D3QW200 optics eliminate the separation between viewers and content with immersive reproduction of large-scale native 4K resolution images, no shadows and short projection distances. To simplify installation and improve the appearance of images in tight spaces, This flexible lens features a motorized optical zoom and wide-range V/H lens shift functions., while its short throw factor and L-shaped design reduce socket depth.

From individual large-scale projections to 360° panoramic images, Projection designers will have complete freedom to make their vision a reality. The low projection factor (0,55–0,65:1, 4Native K, 4.096×2.160) allows a projection distance of about 4.370 mm for an image of 350 inches.

Spectators can get close to 1,8 meters from the screen without casting any shadow. Thanks to the wide range of vertical displacement of the optics (-8%, +50%[2]), Installers can remove screen offset and position the top and bottom of the image to match the ceiling and floor, thus covering the walls without leaving any space.

Low projection factor without screen displacement allows for impeccable image presentation and a deeper immersion into the world of projection designers.

Optimized installation

In addition to having a very low projection factor for an optic in the category of 50.000 lumens, L-shaped design reduces socket depth. This depth saving allows high-brightness images to be projected in spaces that, otherwise, would be too narrow to be able to use a projector 50.000 lumens.

Besides, optics simplify and speed up projector installation, as the image position is easily adjusted once the equipment is in place.

This latest development completes the entire line of UST optics in all Panasonic LCD projector ranges., of 1 DLP chip and 3 chips DLP, ensuring full availability regardless of installation requirements and projector brightness.
