Smooth and Detailed 4K Image Quality

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 Colors

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

Compatible with High Frame Rate Content

Exclusive 240 Hz image processing technology supports frame rates up to 240 Hz/1080p with a minimal input-to-output latency of 8 ms or less* for fluid motion reproduction and fast response.

* 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, Simple to Use, and Easy to Integrate

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.

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, color, and black-level via a camera, creating a uniform multi-screen image in far less time. Visit the Panasonic Geometry Manager Functions webpage for more information.

Note: Some features available from May 2022. 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.

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.

4K/60p-Compatible DIGITAL LINK and Separate LAN Terminal

HDBaseT™-based and 4K/60p input-signal-compatible DIGITAL LINK can transmit uncompressed video and control signals through a single CAT 5e (or higher) STP cable for distances of up to 150 m* (492 ft). Optional DIGITAL LINK Switcher or Digital Interface Box further simplifies installation and enhances reliability. Alternatively, 100Base-TX- or 10BaseT-compatible control signals can be assigned to a separate LAN terminal, freeing the DIGITAL LINK connection for high-bandwidth 4K video.

* In Long Reach Mode, 150 m (492 ft) transmission available only with ET-YFB200G DIGITAL LINK Switcher for signals up to 1080p. ET-YFB200G DIGITAL LINK Switcher is not compatible with 4K signals.

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 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.

Note: Device’s USB Type-C terminal requires support for DisplayPort™ ALT Mode (image output function) and DC power supply (5 V/0.9 A). Refer to the product manual for more information. Android™ devices require a dedicated app.

Highly Reliable Low-Maintenance Projection

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 ([PICTURE MODE]: [DYNAMIC], [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] set to [2], temperature 30 °C (86 °F), elevation 700 m (2,297 ft) with 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter).

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.
