World’s Smallest, Lightest, and Quietest 20,000 lm* LCD Projector

Introducing the smallest, lightest, and quietest LCD laser projector in its class with up to 20,000 lm* , compact 23 kg^*2 (50.7 lbs) body, and quiet 42 dB^*3 operation. Optimized optical engine delivers a 25 % increase in brightness over the 16,000 lm^*4 PT-MZ16KL from the same body size, ensuring clear visibility in well-lit spaces.

^{* Light output of PT-MZ20KL. As of November 2022, based on publicly available dimensions, weight, and operation noise values for LCD laser projectors with 20,000 lm brightness and above. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is average of all products when shipped.}
^{*2 For PT-MZ20KL. PT-MZ17KL/MZ14KL/MZ11KL: 22.5 kg (49.6 lbs).}
^{*3 PT-MZ20KL in NORMAL Mode. Noise levels of other models in NORMAL Mode are 38 dB for PT-MZ17KL and 35 dB for PT-MZ14KL/MZ11KL.}

Long-Life Energy-Saving Design Minimizes Problems

Multi-Laser Drive Engine and Backup Input^* enable continuous projection even in the event of trouble, and no light-source or filter maintenance is required for 20,000 hours^*2 . The series efficiently delivers high brightness with MZ20KL achieving the lowest power consumption in its class^*3 for sustainable operation.

^{* Primary Input (HDMI 1) and Backup Input (HDMI 2) terminal assignment is fixed. Input signals to primary and backup inputs must be identical.}
^{*2 Around this time, light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level ([PICTURE MODE]: [DYNAMIC], [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] set to [3], temperature 30 °C [86 °F], elevation 700 m [2,297 ft] with 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter). Replacement of parts other than the light source may be required in a shorter period. Estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depending on environment. Filter cleaning cycle varies depending on environment. Filter can be washed and reused up to two times.}
^{*3 As of November 2022, based on publicly available power consumption values for LCD laser projectors with 20,000 lm brightness and above according to internal research}

Delivering up to 20,000 lm* on AC 100–240 V, a World First**

PT-MZ20K Series is the industry’s first^** 20,000 lm-class projector to deliver full brightness on AC 100–240 V power, eliminating need to install a high-voltage power supply. It supports NFC function^*3 optional lenses including ET-EMU100 Ultra-Short Throw Zoom Lens, and preactivated upgrade kits for Geo Pro^*4.

Other Features

Panasonic Connect’s unique image quality correction circuitry reproduces details more clearly and sharply. It analyzes video signal frequencies in each scene and adjusts for optimal sharpness based on information extracted from the signal. Compared to conventional image processing technology, this system reproduces images with an even more natural and three-dimensional feel.

Uncompressed 4K/60p input signals¹ are supported via HDMI^® or DIGITAL LINK. Since no external devices such as converters are required, 4K signals can be processed smoothly. This eliminates the need for
re-encoding when the projector is used with other 4K-compatible equipment, making projection with 4K signals simple and efficient.

1 Input signals are converted to the projector’s display resolution upon playback. 4K/60p signals are supported via HDMI and DIGITAL LINK terminals. 4K/60p and 4K/50p signals input via DIGITAL LINK are supported in YP_BP_R 4:2:0 format only.

A variety of optional lenses (eight models² in total) are available to support a range of screen sizes between 80 and 600 inches, allowing you to select the optimal lens for your projection needs. These lenses are equipped with a temperature sensor and automatically correct focus in conjunction with the projector’s AFO² function. This technology maintains a sharp image regardless of the brightness of the content, eliminating need for manual focus adjustment. Of course, powered lens-shift and zoom adjustment is also supported via remote control or Smart Projector Control app³.

1 Specifications vary depending on the lens. Please refer to the Operating Manual for details.
2 PT-MZ17KL/MZ14KL/MZ11KL are also compatible with previously released ET-EMS600/EMT700/EMT800 lenses.
3 Check device compatibility at the App Store or the Google Play store.

ET-EMU100 Ultra-Short-Throw Zoom Lens has a throw ratio of 0.330–0.353:1 and a screen size range of 100–400 inches, and enables large-screen projection even from tight installation spaces. With no gap (offset area) between the ceiling and the screen, ET-EMU100 eliminates need for adjustment and expands the range of visual expression by supporting the zoom function despite its ultra-short focus.

Supports 21:9 input signals
Supports Art-Net DMX, PJLink™, Crestron Connected™ V2, Crestron XiO Cloud™, Extron XTP^® and IPv6¹
Compatible with Multiple PJ Firmware Batch Update Tool
Direct Power Off function
Scheduling function
