Quad Pixel Drive for Detail-rich 4K Images with High Frame Rates

Quad Pixel Drive, Panasonic’s original 2-axis pixel-quadrupling technology, rapidly shifts each pixel vertically and horizontally to produce sharp, clear, and detail-rich 4K images for a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels (16:9). Combined with the DMD’s high pixel-density and narrow aperture ratio, Quad Pixel Drive creates smooth, filmlike images with a superior sense of depth and definition, allowing viewers to retain complex information.

Rich Color Enhancer Produces Vivid, Accurate Colours

Rich Color Enhancer is an original Panasonic colour optimization technology for 1-Chip DLP™ projectors that offers two selectable modes. Dynamic Mode balances brightness and colour for clear image visibility in well-lit environments. Standard/Graphic Mode optimizes colour reproduction performance by adjusting colour-wheel timing to expand red-channel output, leading to more naturally vibrant red expression. Colours are deep, rich, and accurate, faithfully reflecting the content creator’s artistic intent.

Smooth Playback of 240 Hz Content

The projector smoothly plays 240 Hz/1080p video content with a minimal input-to-output latency of just 8 ms or less*, perfect in any application where fast response and fluid motion are important. (*Display frame rate corresponds to the input signal frame rate. Geometric adjustment features must be disabled.)

Dynamic Contrast Elevates Image Realism

Dynamic Contrast directly modulates light output to achieve high contrast with less power consumption. Digitally controlled frame-by-frame scene-linking modulation ensures precise light output adjustment for accurate contrast even when bright and dark scenes frequently interchange.

Flexible 2.0x Zoom Lens with Wide-Range V/H Lens-Shift

Versatile 2.0x optical zoom lens clears a path to stress-free installation by expanding throw-distance flexibility, giving you more freedom to choose a mounting position for the projector. Wide-range V/H Lens-Shift (Vertical: +71 %, -48 % and Horizontal: +34 %, -27 %) locates the image as desired when the ideal projector placement isn’t possible, such as in rooms with high ceilings or for projection at an angle. Adjustments are easily performed via joystick on the front panel.

Geometric Adjustment with Free Grid for Screen Adjustment via Remote Control

Free Grid simplifies operation of select Geometric Adjustment functions built into the projector. Using only the projector remote control, with no need of a connected PC, installers can correct image distortion caused by uneven surfaces or irregular objects on flat or curved screens. A grid is overlaid on the projected image, allowing the installer to reshape distorted areas by adjusting the position of node or V/H line control-points. Grids of 2 x 2, 4 x 4, 8 x 8, or 16 x 16 lines are selectable according to required granularity, and work progress is saved automatically. Grid and control-point colours are selectable to ensure clear visibility over the image.

Preactivated Upgrade Kits for Geometry Manager Pro Software

Geometry Manager Pro upgrade kits usually require activation on the projector or software side with a paid license key. PT-FRQ60 Series, however, ships preactivated and ready for use with these upgrade kits at no extra cost. ET-UK20 Geometry Manager Pro Software Upgrade Kit adds sophisticated creative masking capabilities to an expanded set of software-based geometric adjustment functions. ET-CUK10 Auto Screen Adjustment Upgrade Kit automatically calibrates edge-blended areas of adjoining screens by adjusting their brightness, colour, and black-level via a camera, creating a uniform multi-screen image in far less time.

Note: Some features only available after August 2022. Use of Geometry Manager Pro requires projector registration.

Remote Preview Lite

Remote Preview Lite* allows the projectionist to check signal connectivity and to evaluate changes to the image when selected projector image adjustment settings are changed by previewing input video on a laptop screen. Remote Preview Lite works even when the projector is in Standby Mode and eliminates need for on-screen projection immediately before the presentation commences. It reduces chance of display issues before the performance, and if an error is detected, helps narrow down the possible cause to the input signal chain. (* Requires Multi Monitoring & Control Software Version 3.2 or later.)

Features 2x HDMI® CEC-Compatible Inputs for Easy Operation

Two 4K-ready HDMI inputs support CEC commands from compatible devices, allowing the projector to turn ON/OFF with the source device. Add optional Wireless Presentation System PressIT (sold separetely) and share content from almost any device with a single press of a button. As with other compatible streaming devices, PressIT can be powered via built-in 5 V/2 A USB-DC terminal for self-contained on-ceiling installation. Compatibility with HDCP 2.3-protected 4K/60p video promotes smooth integration into your existing 4K-ready system infrastructure.

4K DIGITAL LINK Connection and Separate LAN Terminal

4K DIGITAL LINK transmits uncompressed 4K/60p (4.2.0) video, audio, and control commands through a single CAT 5e or higher STP cable for distances of up to 50 m. Alternatively, you can transmit 100Base-TX or 10Base-T compatible control signals via a separate LAN terminal, freeing up the 4K DIGITAL LINK connection for video-signal transmission.

Multi-Laser Drive Engine with Unique Failover Circuitry

Failover Circuitry limits brightness loss in the unlikely event of a single diode failure. Multi Laser Drive Engine features redundant laser modules that maintain image display even if a laser module fails. Failover Circuitry provides an invaluable layer of insurance in situations where image display must not be interrupted.

20,000 Hours of Maintenance-Free Operation

To assure stable and reliable continuous operation, Panasonic implements a refined heat-pipe-based cooling system within the projector’s compact, easy-to-manage body dimensions. This filterless cooling system draws heat away from the optical block, which is hermetically sealed to prevent dust ingress in compliance with the industry’s toughest dust-proofing guidelines. Low-degradation laser modules, inorganic phosphor wheel, and filterless cooling system design contribute to 20,000 hours* of maintenance-free projection. (* Around this time, light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level).

24/7 Continuous Operation

Supported by high-efficiency liquid cooling system, hermetically sealed and dust-resistant optical block, and low-degradation diodes grouped into multiple modules, SOLID SHINE Laser projectors can operate reliably 24 hours a day. These projectors are suited to continuous projection in exhibition and public display applications.

Multi Monitoring & Control Software with Optional Early Warning Functions

Panasonic’s free AV management software for Windows® PC lets you monitor and control up to 2,048 compatible display devices of any brand via LAN to reduce maintenance hassle within display networks of any scale. The software enables status monitoring, control-command execution, content playlist delivery, playback scheduling, and system map visualization. A free 90-day trial of optional Early Warning functions is included and adds extra functionality. It notifies the operator in the event of a playback or device error, and sends alerts when symptoms of trouble are detected. Maintenance reminders streamline device management. Operational reports can be generated and exported as a text file. The software links with compatible network cameras for live screen-monitoring, and you can also monitor device status remotely from a tablet via VPN. Software data can be acquired via Web API and installed onto an existing control application.

Reduces Distractions for Better Focus and Immersion

When background noise must be kept to a minimum, Quiet Mode supports almost indiscernible 31 dB operation, limiting distractions in immersive projection environments as well as in office meeting spaces, boardrooms, and classrooms where audience attention must stay focused on the projected content.

System Daylight View 3

System Daylight View 3 is the premium implementation of Panasonic’s System Daylight View technology. It supports six levels of user-selectable adjustment. To combat the effect of ambient light on the projected image and boost colour impact in projection-mapping applications, sharpness, gamma curves, colour, and brightness are all optimized to suit on-site conditions.

Multi-Unit Brightness and Colour Control

Sensors detect colour and brightness apparent on screen. Projectors automatically calibrate for a uniform multi-screen image, adding a layer of convenience and cost saving for long-term deployments.

Multi-Screen Support System

Optimally adjusts multiple screens with edge blending, colour matching, and digital image enlargement.

Quick Start and Quick Off

Since the laser light-source doesn’t require time to warm up, images appear almost instantly. There’s also no safe cool-down required when disconnecting power—the projector can be turned on and off any time as necessary.

Data-Cloning Function

Data-cloning function allows various settings and configuration data to be copied from a main projector to up to 99 sub projectors via LAN. This simplifies and expedites the setup process for multi-unit projection applications.
