Panasonic PT-RZ6LB Black 16:10 WUXGA Laser Eco-Friendly Projector with Digital Art Mode - Body Only

Rich Color Enhancer Brings the Creator’s Work to Life

Rich Color Enhancer is an original 2-mode colour optimization technology. Dynamic Mode balances brightness and colour for clear visibility in bright environments. Standard Mode optimizes colour reproduction by expanding red-channel output for vibrant red expression. This is critical for the accurate and immersive reproduction of artwork and other colour-rich content.

Digital Art Mode Increases Visual Impact

Digital Art Mode is a new picture mode that optimizes the presentation of high-quality digital artwork in museums, galleries, and immersive entertainment spaces. This mode allows you to easily enhance projection quality, emphasizing high contrast and vivid colour reproduction for a more impactful viewing experience.

Light, Quiet, and Easy to Manage

With a compact body about 29% smaller by volume and 22% lighter than the existing RZ790/RZ690 projector models, the PT-RZ6 saves resources and reduces your carbon footprint in transport, storage, and installation. It can be easily carried by one person, smoothing multi-projection logistics. Furthermore, the efficient cooling system reduces operating noise, ensuring your audience stays focused on the experience and not the equipment creating it.

Compatible with Existing DLE Series Lenses

The PT-RZ6 is compatible with Panasonic’s DLE Series projection lenses, offering versatility for diverse production layouts and making the upgrade more cost-effective for businesses with existing lens inventories. The projector’s strengthened lens mounter now supports the ET-DLE020G/ET-DLE020 Ultra-Short-Throw Zoom Lens without requiring a bracket, streamlining installation. These lenses feature powered zoom, focus, and vertical/horizontal lens shift, conveniently controllable via remote or the Smart Projector Control app.

Wide Scalability with Intel® SDM Standard-Compatible SLOT

The PT-RZ6 is compatible with optional proprietary and third-party function boards that insert into its Intel® SDM standard-compatible SLOT, making it easy to adapt, scale, and expand your projector’s connectivity.

Smart Projector Control App Smooths Your Workflow

Smart Projector Control app lets you control up to 64 projectors from your phone or tablet. It enables projector setting adjustment from your device, which is useful when OSD menu projection isn’t possible. Other functions include test pattern selection, shutter control, Web Control UI access, lens settings adjustment, brightness locking, and focus adjustment via the device camera from distances of up to 30 m (98 ft). The app enables swift connection to the projector via QR Code scanning (requires optional wireless module), eliminating password/SSID entry.

Geo Pro Automates Screen Adjustment and Blending

PT-RZ6 offers built-in geometric adjustment tools, including a point-based Free Grid function to correct localized screen distortion. It ships with preactivated upgrade kit licenses for Geo Pro software. These comprise the ET-UK20 Geometry Manager Pro Software Upgrade Kit, which expands functionality and adds sophisticated line, shape, and bitmap masking tools, and the ET-CUK10 Auto Screen Adjustment Upgrade Kit, which automates edge-blending including brightness, colour, and black level adjustment via a camera.

Contrast Sync and Shutter Sync via LAN Cable Only

Traditionally, Dynamic Contrast control operated individually for each projector in a multi-screen system, leading to step noise in blends due to variations in the Average Picture Level (APL). Panasonic’s Contrast Sync resolves this issue by using the average APL of all projectors in the system, resulting in a seamless multi-screen image. The PT-RZ6 is the first Panasonic projector to support Contrast Sync via LAN cable only, eliminating the need for a serial cable connection and reducing system complexity. Additionally, the shutter timing of all sub-projectors is synchronized with the main projector via the LAN connection, ensuring cohesive fade-in/fade-out effects across the entire projection.

Import and Save Custom Test Patterns

In addition to 10x built-in test patterns, users can import and save 4x custom images in JPEG, BMP, or PNG format to a PT-RZ6 projector via its Web Control UI or USB memory device for use as test patterns, start-up logos, and no-signal screensavers. Installers can calibrate projectors using client content or custom images without connecting to a media source device.

Quickly Find the Projection Angle with Angle Monitor

The PT-RZ6 supports 360° projection angles, enabling image mapping on floors, walls, and 3D objects. However, aligning the projection angle with the design simulation can be challenging and requires two people. The projectors feature a built-in gyro sensor detecting changes in the projector’s pitch and roll angles, graphically displayed in the OSD settings menu. Installers can adjust the projection angle without needing assistance.

Refreshed Web Control User Interface

The PT-RZ6 features an updated Web Control UI supporting dark and light modes. Information within the UI is reorganized for improved visibility. You can set projector command schedules such as power on/off, view the projector’s OSD settings menu on the PC screen, and customize device status info on the Home screen. Other updates include adaptive screen sizes and enhanced mobile versions, empowering efficient management.

Dust-Resistant Optical Engine

The PT-RZ6’s optical engine and laser light source conform to the IP5X Dust Protected (IEC 60529) standard. This eliminates the need for a filter and enables 20,000 hours of maintenance-free projection. Reliability is proven by accelerated dust-chamber testing in significantly dustier conditions than those in which some competitive products are tested.

The Dust Protected performance of this unit is not guaranteed to be free from damage or failure under all conditions (environment with conductive dust, etc.). Please use an enclosure in environments with smoke containing oil, salt, and moisture.

Eco Boost Maintains Perceived Brightness with Reduced Consumption

A new Eco Boost mode further reduces energy consumption when Dynamic Contrast is enabled while maintaining perceived brightness.

Reducing Environmental Impact with Recycled Materials

In addition to using responsibly procured materials, the plastic parts in the main projector body contain about 73% recycled resins, reducing the utilization of virgin materials. By supporting eco-friendly manufacturing processes and pursuing recycling-based programs at end-of-life, your organization helps minimize environmental impact throughout the product’s lifecycle. (Excludes projection lenses, printed circuit boards, labels, cables, connectors, electronic components, color sensor cases, optical components, ESD components, EMI component adhesives, and coatings.)

Backup Input Redundancy

Two identical signals can be simultaneously transmitted to HDMI™ 1 (Primary) and HDMI™ 2 (Backup). If transmission to the primary input is interrupted, the projector switches to the backup automatically in a minimum of 0.3 seconds without screen-blanking. This layer of insurance gives greater peace of mind during events where image display can’t be interrupted.

Multi-Laser Drive Engine Enhances Reliability

Multiple laser modules are equipped with Failover Circuitry. In the unlikely event a single diode fails, Failover Circuitry continues to supply electricity to the functional diodes in the series, minimizing brightness loss. If the same issue were to occur in projectors without Failover Circuitry, all diodes in the module might shut down, resulting in a significant loss of brightness.

Reduce Errors with Remote Preview LITE

Remote Preview LITE allows projectionists to confirm connectivity and assess image adjustments before the video is projected by viewing preview thumbnails on a laptop. This is valuable at live events where checking content on the screen is limited due to soundchecks and other logistical factors. Accessible via software or web browser, it works with the projector in Standby or with the shutter on, minimizing errors before performances. (Projector must be set to Pre-Show Mode.)
