Panasonic System Communications Company of North America, a provider of professional projector solutions, today announced the addition of a short-throw model to its SOLID SHINE™ Series line of lamp-free (LED/Laser) projectors.
Depending on light source settings, the new PT-RZ475U can deliver up to 10 years (87,600 hours) of 24/7 operation without the need for lamp or filter maintenance, resulting in low total cost of ownership. The PT-RZ475U delivers excellent HD picture quality with a high contrast ratio of 20,000:1, can be used in portrait mode and has the ability to display 3D images. Ideal for rear projection applications this new projector provides a solution to command and control, simulation and digital signage applications.
The PT-RZ475U is DIGITAL LINK compatible which assures end users of a much simplified AV infrastructure with high definition video, audio, and control signals all carried over a single CAT5e or higher specification Ethernet cable for up to 100 meters (328ft.). This solution reduces cabling costs and complexity and simplifies installation and maintenance. Panasonic’s proprietary Digital Interface Box, the ET-YFB100G ($1,999.00 MSRP) is currently available and can be paired with the PT-RZ475U projector for DIGITAL LINK connection, or the projectors can be used with major AV control manufacturers’ protocols such as Crestron’s Digital Media 8G{, Extron’s XTP Systems, and AMX’s Enova DVX and other manufacturers’ HDBaseT™ variants without the need for an external receiver.
