Panasonic PT-REZ12 WUXGA 1-Chip DLP Laser Projector, 12,000 Lumens White

New scene-recognition circuitry and a higher 25,000:1 contrast ratio improve Dynamic Contrast dramatically, and colors are vibrant yet accurate thanks to Rich Color Enhancer technology. Black-level adjustment evolves to enable seamless blending on curved screens, while Gradation Smoother easily corrects color banding via remote control.Flexibility and Expandability for a Timesaving WorkflowTo adapt projection to any situation, REZ12 Series works with new optional lenses and features an Intel SDM-ready slot to integrate optional function boards that expand and scale connectivity. You can import user test patterns, use NFC function to save prep time and streamline adjustment with preactivated Geo Pro upgrade kits.New Compact Body Supports Maintenance-free ProjectionREZ12 Series features an optical engine and laser light source that conform to the IP5X Dust Protected (IEC 60529) standard and a refined liquid cooling system that enable up to 20,000 hours of maintenance-free projection. Backup Input and Multi Laser Drive Engine further enhance reliability and add insurance against interruptions.Seamless, High-Contrast Visuals Deepen EngagementEvolved Dynamic ContrastIn addition to a higher 25,000:1 contrast ratio, Evolved Dynamic Contrast gains new scene analysis circuitry that more accurately recognizes light and dark areas of the image. The difference between black, white, and contrasting colors stands out more dramatically than ever before. It minimizes dimming when projecting contrast-rich content and makes black deeper and whites brighter. Each video frame is analyzed in real-time, and light output is continuously adjusted to meet the precise contrast requirements of each scene.Rich Color Enhancer for Vivid, Accurate ColorsRich Color Enhancer is an original technology that lets you optimize the reproduction of different kinds of content by selecting the appropriate operating mode. Dynamic Mode offers an ideal balance of high brightness and vibrant color for clear image visibility in bright environments. Standard Mode expands red-channel output for deeper and more accurate expression of the color red, which is vital when displaying artwork and other color-rich content in museums, exhibition halls, and themed or location-based entertainment attractions.Gradation Smoother to Reduce Color BandingGradation Smoother reduces banding in gradients of shaded color, which can become evident in images lacking enough color bit-depth. Use the projector remote to select three levels of image correction depending on how much banding is present, or disable the function when it's unnecessary. Gradation Smoother is a lifesaver when banding is apparent and there's no time to re-edit the content.Detail Clarity Processor 4 Improves Image Clarity and SharpnessDetail Clarity Processor 4 analyzes video signal frequency bands for each scene, extracting distribution information of ultra-high, high, mid, and low-frequency components. Panasonic's unique image quality correction circuitry then applies optimal processing enhancement to each area of the screen. Building on the capabilities of Detail Clarity Processor 3 available on previous Panasonic 1-Chip DLP projectors, Detail Clarity Processor 4 significantly improves the sense of clarity, making fine details seem crisp, sharp, and lifelike.Adjust Black Levels on Curved ScreensAchieving uniform black levels inside blended areas on curved screens has always been difficult. This is because the curvature of the screen distorts the width of the black borders that define the area of adjustment. Panasonic answers the problem with flexible black-level adjustment to suit arbitrary screen shapes. You can use up to 17 control points to reshape black borders so they fit the screen symmetrically without distortion. Black levels can be set precisely within a half-pixel margin, so blends are indiscernible even when viewing the screen at close range.Adjust Black Levels Inside and Outside the Image Display AreaPanasonic's black-level adjustment can eliminate distracting black-level bumps that can sometimes appear in blends outside of the image display area after geometric adjustment is applied. By unlinking black-level adjustment from geometric adjustment, black-level settings can be applied to the entire blend, including the image overlaps outside the image display area, for a completely seamless multi-screen image.Supports Widescreen Input SignalsSingle-chip DLP projectors are a popular way to unite on-site and remote teams in hybrid conferencing spaces. The latest video-conferencing software layouts can output a 21:9 signal to a REZ12 Series projector so that the faces of remote participants appear along the bottom of the screen at eye level with those seated in the room. This promotes natural and fluent communication between members of the group. In addition, with more games, films, documentaries, and other immersive content being produced with a 21:9 aspect ratio, it makes sense to invest in a projector that can deliver a cinematic experience.Flexibility and Expandability for a Timesaving WorkflowWorks with an All-New Lens LineupREZ12 Series works with an all-new lineup of optional fixed, zoom, and ultra-short-throw zoom lenses for selected Panasonic 1-Chip DLP projectors, making it possible to deliver immersive experiences in spaces of any size. The lenses improve native contrast performance by as much as 16% and have a wider range of powered lens-shift adjustment compared to previous lenses. They feature Lens Memory and Auto Lens Identification functions and now offer powered periphery focus adjustment operable via remote control or the Smart Projector Control app.Wide Scalability with Intel SDM-ready SlotIntel SDM-ready slot integrates optional proprietary or third-party function boards. These reduce installation complexity and make it easier to adapt, scale, and expand your projector's connectivity to suit different applications and event-site infrastructure. The projector works with Panasonic's DIGITAL LINK Terminal Board (TY-SB01DL), 12G-SDI Terminal Board (TY-SB01QS), 12G-SDI Optical Function Board (TY-SB01FB), and Wireless Presentation System PressIT Receiver Board (TY-SB01WP), as well as selected third-party PC boards, terminal boards, and AVoIP boards.Import and Save Your Custom Test PatternsIn addition to 10 built-in test patterns, you can now import and save up to three user test patterns to the projector. You can save your preferred test patterns or use your client's content to calibrate the projector before connecting the video source. Access compatible BMP or PNG image files saved to USB memory via the Test Pattern menu, where they can be saved, renamed, or deleted using the projector remote control.Smart Projector Control App Smooths Your WorkflowSmart Projector Control app simplifies projector setup and operation. Connection is easy: just scan the QR Code displayed in the projector's OSD menu with your smartphone camera. You can control up to 64 projectors simultaneously and adjust settings without needing to project the OSD menu. You can select test patterns, adjust lens settings via the new lens-control UI, lock brightness, and perform focus adjustment using your smartphone camera from distances of up to 30 m (98 ft) away.Save Prep Time Before Setup with NFC FunctionNFC function allows you to prepare your projector for installation and setup at the event site when AC power is unavailable or when OSD projection isn't possible. To connect, just place your phone on the NFC decal and then use the Smart Projector Control app to read and write settings such as Projector ID and IP address. Projectors can be prepped for immediate network connection and setup when power rolls out on the installation site, saving time and resources. After the event has concluded, projector settings can be reset to factory defaults while unplugged, an action that used to require OSD menu projection.Flexible Screen Adjustment via Remote ControlFree Grid lets you easily fix image distortion caused by uneven projection surfaces or objects on flat or curved screens using the projector remote control. Reshape the image by adjusting control points or V/H lines on an overlaid grid. Select from various grid resolutions between 2 x 2 and 17 x 17 lines depending on the precision you require. Work progress is saved automatically, and grid and control-point colors can be changed for best visibility over the background image.Preactivated Upgrade Kits for Geo Pro SoftwareREZ12 Series ships with preactivated licenses for upgrade kits that come bundled with our free Geometry Manager Pro software. ET-UK20 Geometry Manager Pro Software Upgrade Kit expands the software's extensive adjustment functionalities and adds sophisticated edge-blending, color uniformity, and masking tools. ET-CUK10 Auto Screen Adjustment Upgrade Kit uses data from a connected camera to automatically calibrate edge-blended areas by adjusting their brightness, color, and black level, saving you the time and hassle of manual calibration.
