The numbers on site
3-chip class color brightness out of a 1-chip DLP body. Here's what the PT-HTQ20 actually puts on the screen, measured the way your production team measures it.
Rated at 20,000 lm (ANSI) with a 21,000 lm center measurement — full output maintained on both 120V and 240V power, so touring rigs don't lose brightness crossing borders.
Engineered for the rig
Every spec below is the kind that shows up in an RFP, not a brochure — sourced from Panasonic's own PT-HTQ20 documentation.
Rec. 2020 color, 1-chip footprint
Proprietary RGB-plus-phosphor laser design closes in on 3-chip DLP color brightness while keeping the compact, single-chip form factor.
Smoother gradients, less artifacting
An enhanced Gradation Smoother reduces banding in Rec. 709 content, and Panasonic's rainbow-reduction tech tackles the artifact single-chip DLP is known for.
20,000 hours, no filter swaps
A sealed, filterless optical path keeps this projector in service through back-to-back load-ins without a maintenance window baked in.
The show survives a laser bank drop
Multi-Laser Drive Engine failover keeps output running if a laser bank fails mid-event — redundancy where it actually matters.
2K/240 Hz playback
Built for high-motion content, simulation, and fast-cut show graphics that standard 60 Hz projection can't keep up with.
Full brightness, 120–240V
Output doesn't derate when a rig moves between US and international power — one spec sheet for every venue on the tour.
12G/3G/HD-SDI + dual 4K/60p HDMI
Built-in SDI and HDCP 2.3-compatible HDMI inputs handle broadcast and production signal chains without extra converter boxes.
Room to grow
An open Intel® SDM-standard expansion slot accepts the ET-SBFMP10 media processor and future function boards as your workflow evolves.
