[DISCONTINUED] Panasonic PT-RZ16KU 16,000 Lumen SOLID SHINE Laser Projector

Across industries, organizations and venues who host live events must do so within the constraints of their property’s physical infrastructure. In certain situations, this can limit the projection technology being deployed or force the venue to retrofit the space in order to make the technology work within it. For example, a venue interested in deploying a 3-Chip DLP® laser projector for its superior color reproduction, contrast and reliability would typically require 200–240V AC power to operate at full brightness – that is, until now.

Seeing the need for a projector flexible enough to work within these infrastructure limitations, Panasonic is excited and proud to introduce the new PT-RZ16KU 3-Chip DLP® SOLID SHINE laser projector. The PT-RZ16KU meets the demand for vibrant 3-Chip DLP™ color while reducing installation complexity. The PT-RZ16KU’s simplified setup, calibration and operation assure consistently uniform image quality, while enabling 16,000 lumens of full brightness on 110-120V AC power making it ideal for houses of worship, entertainment venues and hospitality spaces like banquet halls, exhibitions and convention centers. Historic architecture, physical limitations and power requirements that may make costly rewiring necessary will no longer preclude any venue from delivering immersive, inspiring and engaging experiences.
