Panasonic PT-MZ20KLBU7 20000 Lumen LCD WUXGA Projector, Black

Introducing the smallest, lightest, and quietest projector in its class with up to 20,000 lm brightness, lightweight 23 kg (50.7 lbs) body, and quiet 42 dB operation. Refined optical engine ensures clear visibility in well-lit rooms with vivid color and high brightness.

Multi-Laser Drive Engine and Backup Input6 enable continuous projection even in the event of trouble. No light-source or filter maintenance is required for 20,000 hours. The series efficiently delivers high brightness with MZ20KL achieving the lowest power consumption in its class.

PT-MZ20K Series is the industry’s first 20,000 lm-class projector delivering full brightness on AC 100-240 V power. It supports NFC function10, optional lenses including ET-EMU100 Ultra-Short-Throw Zoom Lens, and preactivated upgrade kits for Geo Pro.

Data cloning function allows the user to copy settings and adjustment values from a Main projector to Sub projectors via LAN1 or USB memory device. This function reduces the time and effort required when setting up multiple projectors.

With built-in Geometric Adjustment, various distortions on the screen can be corrected via remote control. In addition to trapezoidal distortion resulting from angled projection, Curved Screen Correction fixes distortion caused by projection onto curved surfaces. Corner Correction allows the user to specify four screen corners, such as the upper right and lower right, for correction. Screen proportions can be maintained and corrections can be saved as data.

In addition to built-in Geometric Adjustment function, Free Grid allows pinpoint correction of local distortion within the screen. Grids between 2 x 2 and 17 x 17 lines can be selected to allow point-by-point correction, or batch correction by specifying vertical and horizontal lines. Correction data is maintained even after changing the number of grids or points, allowing smooth transition from basic to detailed correction. This convenient function allows adjustment of special screens, such as irregular or uneven wall surfaces, with the remote control.

Panasonic Connects unique image quality correction circuitry reproduces details more clearly and sharply. It analyzes video signal frequencies in each scene and adjusts for optimal sharpness based on information extracted from the signal. Compared to conventional image processing technology, this system reproduces images with an even more natural and three-dimensional feel.

A variety of optional lenses (eight models in total) are available to support a range of screen sizes between 80 and 600 inches, allowing you to select the optimal lens for your projection needs. These lenses are equipped with a temperature sensor and automatically correct focus in conjunction with the projector’s AFO2 function. This technology maintains a sharp image regardless of the brightness of the content, eliminating need for manual focus adjustment. Of course, powered lens-shift and zoom adjustment is also supported via remote control or Smart Projector Control app.
