Panasonic PT-ST10U XGA Short Throw LCD Projector, 2800 Lumens, 5000 Hours Lamp

The Panasonic PT-ST10U XGA Short Throw LCD Projector has 2800 lumens of brightness and a crisp contrast ratio of 500:1 are enough to meet most ambient light challenges, rendering sharp XGA (1,024 x 768) detail on screens up to 9.1' (2.79 m) measured diagonally. What makes this projector unique however, is that it can do it from only 3.74' (1.14 m) away. That means you can position the projector in the front of the room on a simple surface without the interference with the light beam by audience members, which is so common with longer-throw units.

The PT-ST10U can also be ceiling-mounted over the projection screen allowing the presenter and audience members to move about freely. The PT-ST10U weighs just less than 7lbs making it an ideal utility player in large firms or educational institutions where varied classes or ad hoc meetings are held. It's also small enough to travel. And there's no limit to where it can go. The Multi-voltage power supply backed with PAL, NTSC and SECAM signal support and a multi-language on-screen display means that you can use the PT-ST10U about anywhere in the world where there's electricity.

But whether you're traveling or staying at home the PT-ST10U has a myriad of easy-setup functions that make it your go-to and on-call choice. Speed Start fires up the image immediately when turned on and then Real-Time Keystone Correction takes over, automatically squaring up your image for a professional-looking presentation. The ambient light Sensor in Daylight View then adjusts the picture for optimal performance.

Don't have a projection screen in class? No problem. The handy Whiteboard mode is a favorite of educators. Index Window is an attention-getting feature that allows you to split the screen in two and display a frozen image on one side and a moving image in the other. Is there any better way to display before and after as well as illustrating a process and its result? The presentation options are limitless.

The PT-ST10U's wide connectivity includes component, composite and S-video as well as a variable audio output for an external speaker. The RJ-45 connection allows easy control of the PT-ST10U over a network. In fact, you can control multiple Panasonic projectors from a PC with the included Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software. Finally, the combination of a proprietary lamp drive system coupled with advanced filtering technology makes it possible for the lamp to last up to 5,000 hours before replacement.
