PT-LZ370

Outstanding Images with Stunning Full-HD Quality

High-Contrast, High-Quality Images from a Full-HD LCD Panel and Dynamic Iris ProTheFull-HD (1920x1080-pixel) LCDpanel of thePT-LZ370producesthemeticulousdetail of Full-HD images.With its“normallyblack” system,the liquidcrystalmoleculesare vertically alignedwhennopower isapplied, todramatically reduceunwanted light.TheDynamic IrisProalsoadjusts thebrightnessof the light source tomatch the image.Thebrightnessof eachscene isanalyzedand the lamppower,gammacurve,and iris areadjustedaccordingly frameby frame.Thisachievesahighcontrast ratioof10,000:1,providingawidedynamic range for addedbeauty inbothdarkandbright scenes.

3,000-lm BrightnessThePT-LZ370 featuresahigh-power280WUHM lamp.Optimalutiliza-tionof this light sourceachievesa full3,000 lumensofbrightness, forsharp, crisp images.

Detail Clarity Processor 3 Gives Natural Clarity to Even the Finest DetailsAftera twodimensional analysisof the videosignal’s frequency ineachsceneandextracting informationon thedistributionof the super-high-,high-,medium-,and low-frequency imagecomponents, thenewcircuit

optimizes the sharpnessof each imageportionbasedon theextractedinformation.The resulting imageshaveamorenatural, lifelikeexpressionthan thoseofprevious image-processingmethods.

Daylight View Premium for Better Color PerceptionThis functioncorrects the imagequality toproject sharp, clear imageseven inbrightly lit rooms.A luminancesensormeasures theambientbrightness, anda real-timeadjustment functionoptimizes sharpnessandbrightnessaccording to the surroundings.Thisadjustment functionalsoworks togetherwith theDetailClarityProcessor3 toenhance the realismand vividnessofprojected images.Thismakes imageseasier to viewandoffershighcontrast.

In addition to its Full-HD LCD panel, the PT-LZ370 generously employs unique Panasonic technologies in itsopticalandsignal-processingsystems toproducecaptivating images. It is the idealprojector forpresentationswithhighlydetailedimages,andprojectingBlu-RaydiscandincreasinglypopularHDcontents.Offeringavarietyof functions, suchas2x zoomandawide lens shift, forpermanent installationuse, thePT-LZ370 is ready fora host of applications, starting with classrooms and meeting rooms, and extending to uses that demand highcolor fidelity and finedetail reproduction, suchasengineering,R&D, art history, and filmclasses/meetings.

All the Beauty of Full HD.Ideal for Lectures and Presentations Requiring Detailed Images.

Waveform Monitor for Precise CalibrationWhen theoutput level of the sourcedevicefluctuatesdue to theperfor-manceof thedeviceor its cableconnections, theoriginalblackandwhite levelsof the imagecontent cannotbe repro-duced.With thePT-LZ370,youcan view thewave-formson the screenandadjust the settingseitherautomatically ormanuallyas youprefer.

DICOM Simulation Mode*1

This imagingmode is similar toDICOMPart14,which is amedicalimagingstandard. It reproducesX-ray imageswith remarkableclarity. Italsoallows information tobesharedbymany viewersona largescreen,suchasduringmedical conferencesor trainingcourses.

Installation and Operation Flexibility

2x Zoom Lens and Wide Horizontal/Vertical Lens ShiftThe2x zoom lensandhorizontal/vertical lens shift let youaccommodateawide rangeof roomsizesandshapes.When lightsor ventilationholesare located in theceilingmountingsite, youcansimply relocate thepro-jector toavoid them.Andwhen replacingexistingprojectors, this canreducecostsbypermitting theuseof existingmountingpositionsandcablings.

Abundant Connection Terminals, Including HDMIInterfaces include twosetsofHDMI input.Theserial terminal (RS-232C)hasanEmulate function that lets youcontinueusingexistingcontrol sys-temswhen replacingpreviousPanasonicmodels. It is alsopossible tooutputaudioduringStandbymode.*2This is convenientwhenconnectinganexternal audio system through theprojector.*3

Easy Remote Monitoring and Control over a LANAwebbrowseronacomputer connected throughawiredLANsystemlets you remotelyoperateprojectorsandcheck their status.Ane-mailmessaging functioncanalsonotify youwhena lampneeds replacement,and indicate theoverall projector status. Inaddition,MultiProjectorMoni-

Eco Management FunctionsAnumberof functionsareprovided to reducepowerconsumption.Theyadjust thebrightnessaccording toambient light conditions, and reducethe lamppowerwhen there isno signal inputor theprojector is inAVMutemode.Youcaneasily set theEcoManagement functionsaccordingtooperatingconditionsbyusing theECObuttonon the remotecontrol.

Up to 3,000-Hour Lamp/Filter Replacement Cycle*4 *5 and Simple MaintenanceThe lampandair filterbothhave replacementcyclesofup to3,000hours.This reduces theamountofbothersomemaintenancenecessaryovera longperiodof time, cutsmaintenancecosts, andhelps to lower theenvironmentalimpact. Foreasymaintenance, youcan replacethefilter from thesideand the lamp from thetopof theprojector.Thefilter and lampareeas-ily replacedevenafter thePT-LZ370 is installedon theceiling.
