Features
The Panasonic PT-DW10000U is one of the smallest DLP system projectors with 10,000 lumens of brightness. Panasonic's four lamp system makes this possible. Because of the dynamic iris technology, the projector achieves a super-high 5000:1 contrast ratio. The projector features three chip DLP technology that provides high resistance to deterioration due to aging.
Multi-Lamp Optical System
With Panasonic's four lamp system, the PT-DW10000U generates 10,000-lumen brightness. If one lamp burns out during operation, the remaining lamps provide plenty of light to continue projecting. A lamp relay mode is also included. Extended continuous operation is possible by lamp mode selection.
Auto Cleaning Robot (ACR)
The PT-DW10000U has an automatic filter cleaning system. When you switch on the projector, the air filter operates; and the brush of the auto cleaning "robot" removes dust from the filter. This prevents the clogging that results in malfunctions and other problems.
Micro Cut Filter
The filter in the air intake section traps dust particles that are 10 microns or larger. This guards against optical blocks and reduces the penetration of dust into to the interior to provide stable operation.
Liquid-Cooling System
Panasonic's liquid-cooling system made it possible to significantly downsize the PT-DW10000U, making it one of the most compact in its class.
Web Browser Control
By using a computer's familiar web browser you can operate the PT-DW10000U by remote control. You can also monitor the projector's status over a LAN network. The PT-DW10000U sends an email message to notify the operator when an error has occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced.
Lamp LED Indicator and Self-Diagnosis Function
The projector body is equipped with a temperature alarm LED and a burnt-lamp alarm LED (for lamps 1 to 4). The LED is visible from both front and top, so you can see it easily even if the unit is hung from the ceiling. Information on the location of the error is also given in the on-screen display. A self-diagnosis function is also provided. Error codes are displayed on the 3-digit, 7-segment LED on the side of the projector.
Dynamic Iris
Incorporating exclusive Panasonic technology, the dynamic iris opens and closes with exceptional speed and precision as the input signal changes, resulting in accurate, real-time control of the light striking the DLP chips. The dynamic iris is positioned immediately after the light synthesizer and before the integrator, so it has minimal adverse effect on the overall light uniformity across the screen.
10-Bit Processing
The use of a full 10-bit image processing system provides smooth tonal expression. For example, skin tones appear natural and true to life.
3D Color Management
Compensation provides optimal levels of color saturation, hue, and brightness that were not possible with conventional projectors. Colors approach those of the original image even on large-screen displays.
Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 Pull-down)
This interlace/progressive conversion technology automatically detects when the input signal is derived from filmed material and selects the optimum progressive processing method to assure faithful reproduction of the original image.
Dynamic Sharpness Control
The dynamic sharpness control circuit adjusts the video signal waveforms based on the difference in brightness of adjacent pixels for a sharp, clear picture that is relatively unaffected by signal noise.
