Panasonic PT-DS20KU Features

  • Incredible 20,000 Lumens of Brightness: Panasonic's unique quad-lamp system, with its high-power UHM lamps, has helped to make the body extremely compact while providing an astounding 20,000 lumens of brightness
  • Dynamic Iris for a High 10,000:1 Contrast Ratio: Panasonic's dynamic iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a remarkable 10,000:1 contrast without lowering its high brightness. This helps to reproduce deeper, richer blacks and provides images with more detailed textures
  • Detail Clarity Processor 3: This unique Panasonic circuit optimizes the sharpness of each image, based on the superhigh-, high-, medium- and low-frequency components of the extracted image information. The resulting images have more natural, lifelike expression
  • Active 3D Projection Capability: The series is compatible with both passive and active 3D projection systems. It combines with either a separate, external 100/120/144Hz drive with IR emitter and active shutter glasses, or an active filter and passive glasses, for viewing 3D images
  • 3D color management system / Full 10-bit image processing / Progressive cinema scan (3:2 pulldown) / Dynamic sharpness control / Digital noise reduction / IP conversion / AI scene control / 2:2 pulldown mode / sRGB compatibility / Fine-adjustable color temperature / Waveform monitor function
  • Low TCO and an Environmentally Friendly Design: The projector provides a lower total cost of ownership (TCO) because it has a lamp replacement cycle of up to 2000 hours. It's environmentally friendly design also includes a low power consumption of 2300W
  • System Daylight View 2: This unique technology optimizes image quality to improve the color perception of the projected image in bright rooms. With a brightness of 20,000 lumens, it provides highly comfortable viewing even in bright lighting & allows viewers to concentrate easily on the images
  • DICOM Simulation Mode: This imaging mode is similar to DICOM part 14, which is a medical imaging standard. It reproduces X-ray images with remarkable clarity
  • Four-Lamp System Enables Stable, Extended Operation: The four-lamp system allows the projector to keep working even if a lamp should fail. The Lamp Relay mode also operates the lamps alternately to enable 24/7 projection. Quad, triple, dual and single lamp modes can be used
  • Easy Lamp Replacement: For easier maintenance, you can replace the lamp from the rear. This makes it easy to replace a lamp while the projector is still in the mounting bracket or dual stacked
  • Liquid Cooling System Attains a High Level of Reliability: This new liquid cooling system directly cools the DLP chip to improve performance and enable operation up to 113deg.F (45deg.C). It allows quiet (49 dB) and versatile use while stabilizing performance
  • Eco Filter that Needs No Maintenance for up to 12,000 Hours: The eco filter has an electrostatic micro cut filter that collects minute dust particles with an ion effect. It combines with the dust-resistant cabinet to enable long-term use even under harsh conditions
  • Flexible Installation: The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal / vertical lens shift function can be easily adjusted with the remote control. The unit can also be rotated 360deg. vertically, to accommodate various installation conditions
  • Multi-Unit Brightness Control: This function automatically corrects the brightness fluctuations that occur over time in the individual projectors of a multi-screen system
  • Geometric Adjustment for Specially Shaped Screens: This function adjusts the image for projection onto spherical, cylindrical and other specially shaped screens. You can make the adjustment easily using only the remote control, with no external equipment needed
  • Multiple Terminals: The projector has an array of terminals, including DVI-D, HDMI and two RGB inputs. The unit features a 3D ready HD / SD-SDI input and 3D sync terminals to connect an emitter for 3D projection
  • Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Software Ver. 2.7: Panasonic's Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software Ver. 2.7 freeware lets you control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time over a wired LAN. If a problem occurs, an alarm message is sent to the monitoring / controlling PC
  • Edge blending: The edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their luminance controlled
  • Color matching: This function corrects for slight variations in the color reproduction range of individual projectors. The PC software assures easy, accurate control
  • Multi-screen processor: The beamer can project large, multi-screen images without any additional equipment. Up to 100 units (10 x 10) can be edge-blended at a time
