Panasonic Projectors Unveil PT-D6000 Series at ISE 2009
Panasonic Projectors unveiled the latest addition to the range at ISE 2009 with the new PT-D6000 1 chip DLP projector series, making its first public appearance in Amsterdam.
The new PT-D6000 1 chip DLP projector series consists of four different models, the PT-DZ6710E, PT-DZ6700E, PT-DW6300E and the PT-D6000E to complete a range of high-performance projectors that offer between 6,000 and 6,500 lumens of brightness.
As the ideal solution for installations that require up to 24 hours a day / 7 days a week performance, the PT-D6000 projectors are extremely durable due to their DLP toughness, their dual lamp system and an Auto Cleaning Filter that all help ensure a long lifetime. The Auto Cleaning Filter (ACF) is a completely new feature that is based on an air filter tape contained inside a cartridge. Once the filter tape section has become dirty, it is automatically rolled forward to the next clean position. In addition, the spooled part of the tape is cleaned by a brush. This unique technology ensures much smoother and maintenance-free operation of the projector. For new owners of the projectors, ACF truly represents a powerful weapon in combating dust.
The PT-DZ6710E represents the "flagship" model of the D6000 series. Beside its extremely high resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels that natively supports Full HD (16:9) & UXGA (4:3), this model also offers a "geometric adjustment" feature, as well as a built-in HD-SDI video input. The "geometric adjustment" function is needed to project images onto non-planar surfaces, like spheres, cones, domes or other symmetrically curved screens (e.g. 360° panoramic projection in a barrel or drum type screen alignment). Its so-called "edge blending" feature is of great benefit to those interested in creating one huge picture using several individual projections without having to reveal the seams. Furthermore, HD-SDI is a professional high quality video signal input that ensures the best possible picture quality.
This range of new Panasonic projectors is also the first to offer stand-by power consumption of under 0.5 watts. Furthermore, as part of the ongoing environmental program at Panasonic, the company relies on manufacturing methods that minimize the impact of manufacturing on the environment. Panasonic has voluntarily banned the use of certain hazardous substances (such as lead, cadmium and mercury) in compliance with the criteria of the EU RoHS Directive. In addition, no polyethylene is used in packaging materials.
