Panasonic Technologies Assure Spectacular Image Performance
Incredible Brightness & High Picture Quality
New AC Lamp and Multi-Lamp System
Panasonic's innovative 4-lamp optical
system uses newly developed 300-watt AC
lamps to deliver remarkable 12,000-lumen
brightness. The 4-lamp system means
superb reliability too – the projector keeps
working even if one lamp goes out. A full 24
hours of continuous operation is possible in
Lamp Relay mode.
Detail Clarity Processor
Exclusive to Panasonic, this new image-processing circuit analyzes
the video signal frequency range for each scene by extracting data on
the distribution of high, mid, and low-frequency components, and
brings out fine details accordingly. The resulting images have a more
natural, three dimensional appearance with crisp, clear detail.
OFF
Conventional sharpness control:
Sharpness is applied uniformly, which can
cause a halo or ring effect.
Dynamic Iris
Panasonic's Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism
to achieve a remarkable 5,000:1 contrast without lowering the
12,000-lumen brightness. It helps reproduce deeper, richer blacks
and gives images more detailed textures.
OFF
Full 10-Bit Processing
Use of a full 10-bit picture processing system helps achieve smooth
tonal expression. Complexions and other flesh tones look natural and
true-to-life, with accurate gradation.
ON
Detail Clarity Processor: Signal frequency
is extracted realtime and necessary
sharpness is applied at varying degrees for
natural, life-like images.

Lamp replacement cycle and
brightness guidelines
Lamp mode
Four lamps

* The values above are maximum values when all 4 lamps
are replaced simultaneously, and when they are used in
cycles of being turned on for 3.5 hours and off for 0.5 hour.
When the lamps are turned on and off more frequently,
the lamp replacement cycle is shortened. (It is
recommended that the mechanical shutter be used to
turn images off for a short period.)
System Daylight View
Screen visibility is lower when a projector is used during daylight
hours or in a room with lights on. Panasonic's System Daylight View
circuit compensates for these brighter environments, so that images
are crisp, clear and easy to see no matter what the conditions.
OFF
3D Colour Management System
Some people like to view large-screen images from relatively close up
to get the maximum viewing impact. But at close range, the colours
perceived by the human eye tend to differ slightly from the original
colours. The 3D Colour Management System solves this problem by
enabling fine adjustment of colours so they appear faithful to the
originals when projected onto a large screen.

Dual Link HD-SDI Signal Support (Optional)
Just add an ET-MD100SD4 expansion board and the projector supports
Dual Link HD-SDI signals. HD-SDI signals use two cables to achieve
twice the colour resolution of the conventional single link system.
