PT-RQ35K

Despite its high brightness and image quality, PT-RQ35K Series is the smallest and lightest 3-Chip DLP™ 4K projector in its class and can be transported and installed with two people. Save on labor and enjoy greater convenience when storage space is limited. PT-RQ35K Series is 40 %^*2 smaller than the current PT-RQ32K, and its footprint is almost equivalent to the PT-RQ22K. With its manageable size and weight, PT-RQ35K Series creates exciting opportunities for high-brightness projection in venues where installation space is limited.

Smart Projector Control is a remote app for iOS and Android™ devices^*1 that can adjust and control up to 64 projectors individually or simultaneously from anywhere within range of the wireless network. Use the app to connect the projector to the wireless network^*2 without manually entering SSID and password simply by scanning a QR Code displayed on the projector’s Information Monitor. Once connected, you can switch the unit on or off, select an input signal, and adjust the projector’s OSD menu settings via your device’s touchscreen with the unit in standby. Installers avoid delays when it’s not possible to project the OSD menu, and can set up a fleet of projectors while other event infrastructure is assembled. As well as OSD menu operations, the app can adjust lens settings and select test patterns and lets you focus the projection using your phone camera^*3 from distances of up to 30 m^*4 (98 ft) away. For more information, visit the Smart Projector Control website.

PT-RQ35K Series projectors can be paired with your smartphone via NFC* (Near Field Communication) when the projector is off and disconnected from AC power by touching the device against the projector’s NFC touchpoint. Adjust selected projector settings using Smart Projector Control app, such as Projector ID and IP address, while waiting for power to be connected and setup to begin. Fleets of projectors can be prepped for immediate network connection and setup the moment power rolls out on the installation site, saving time and resources. After the event, projectors can be reset to factory defaults while unplugged and ready for crating, an action that used to require OSD menu projection.

^{* Projectors sold in some countries or regions require an ET-NUK10 Upgrade Kit available from PASS to activate NFC function. See NFC Regional Compatibility List for details.}

Remote Preview lets projectionists confirm video-signal integrity by viewing thumbnails of the input signal on a laptop prior to projection. Accessed via software or web browser, Remote Preview works with the projector in Standby or with the shutter on. It’s useful at events such as concerts where opportunities to check content on screen are limited due to stage traffic and other logistical factors. Remote Preview reduces chance of errors before the performance, and if an error is detected, helps narrow down the possible cause to the signal.

Optional upgrade kits for free Geometry Manager Pro software^*1 usually require activation with license keys. With PT-RQ35K Series projectors, however, these kits are preactivated. As well as bitmap masking, the kits save installers time by automatically and simultaneously calibrating edge-blends using an external camera^*2. This task otherwise requires manual brightness, color, and black-level calibration of each projector. Register PT-RQ35K Series projectors and download Geometry Manager Pro software at PASS.
 

^{Note: Use of Geometry Manager Pro requires projector registration. Visit PASS to register your projector and download free Geometry Manager Pro software for Windows®. Compatible cameras comprise Nikon D5200/D5300/D5500/D5600/D7500. Use of Auto Screen Adjustment function with these cameras requires installation of Auto Screen Adjustment Plug-in (a free camera driver available from PASS). Use of Auto Screen Adjustment function with D7500 requires Geometry Manager Pro Ver. 6.1.10 or later and Auto Screen Adjustment Plug-in Ver. 5.1.10 or later.}

To simplify setup, PT-RQ35K Series features an Information Monitor near the control panel. The high-visibility screen visualizes menu navigation and provides a convenient way to configure network settings such as Projector ID without projecting the OSD menu. During operation, it shows projector status including temperature, runtime, error codes, and input signal information.

Share optional lenses between Panasonic 3-Chip DLP™ projectors in your inventory and the new PT-RQ35K Series. Our lineup of 18 lenses comprises fixed and zoom lenses that adapt to venues of any scale; a groundbreaking ET-D3LEF70 Fisheye Lens for dome projection in planetariums; and the new ET-D3LEU100 Ultra-Short-Throw Lens (0.370:1, WUXGA) and ET-D3LEW200 Short-Throw Zoom Lens (0.645–0.850:1, WUXGA). These glass lenses produce spectacular images from short throw-distances with zero offset (eliminating the gap between the edge of the image and projector’s mounting surface) and are ideal for theme-parks, museums, performance venues, and other experiential applications. Both equip wide-range powered Vertical and Horizontal Lens Shift, while the ET-D3LEW200 increases location flexibility with powered optical zoom.

For applications in venues such as museums and theaters where full brightness isn’t necessary and background noise must be kept to a minimum, PT-RQ35K Series includes a Quiet Mode. Operating noise is reduced by 3 dB* in comparison to projection in Normal Mode. The perceived difference in operating noise between the two modes is significant and limits distraction in immersive projection environments. In this mode, time until light output declines to 50 % can be extended to up to 26,000 hours.
 

^{* Operating noise in Quiet Mode is 46 dB with brightness limited to 20,000 lm.}
