The Panasonic REZ Series is changing the 1-Chip DLP projector space with its intention to efficiency in workflows. The REZ Series features time saving factors like NFC Function, Preactivated Upgrade Kits for Geo Pro Software, Projector Angling Software, and Smart Controls available via smartphone. The REZ Series spans from the 8,000 lumen PT-REZ80/REZ80L, to the 10,000 lumen PT-REZ10/REZ10L, and all the way up to the 12,000 lumen PT-REZ12/REZ12L. Let’s dive into the key features now.
Evolved Dynamic Contrast
With an elevated 25,000:1 contrast ratio, Evolved Dynamic Contrast incorporates advanced scene analysis circuitry that more precisely identifies light and dark areas within the image. This technology enhances the distinction between black, white, and contrasting colors, delivering a sharper visual. It effectively reduces dimming when projecting content with high contrast, resulting in deeper blacks and brighter whites. Real-time analysis of each video frame ensures continuous adjustments in light output to meet the specific contrast requirements of every scene.
Rich Color Enhancer for Vivid, Accurate Colors
The Rich Color Enhancer is an innovative technology designed to optimize the reproduction of various content types by offering different operating modes. Dynamic Mode strikes a balance between high brightness and vibrant color for clear visibility in well-lit environments. Standard Mode emphasizes red-channel output, ideal for displaying artwork and color-rich content.
Gradation Smoother to Reduce Color Banding
When an image lacks enough color bit-depth, it is necessary to make adjustments, but sometimes that isn’t an option. Designed to address color banding in gradient-shaded color images, Gradation Smoother provides three levels of image correction. This feature is especially valuable when time constraints prevent re-editing of content.
Detail Clarity Processor 4 Improves Image Clarity and Sharpness
Detail Clarity Processor 4 analyzes video signal frequency bands, extracting distribution information and applying optimal processing enhancement to ultra-high, high, mid, and low-frequency components. This evolution of Panasonic’s image quality correction circuitry significantly enhances clarity, rendering fine details crisp and lifelike.
Adjust Black Levels on Curved Screens
Overcoming challenges in achieving uniform black levels on curved screens has always been a struggle. On the PT-REZ Series, Panasonic introduces flexible black-level adjustment for non-standard screen shapes. Utilizing up to 17 control points, black borders can be reshaped to fit the screen symmetrically, ensuring precise adjustments even within a half-pixel margin.
Adjust Black Levels Inside and Outside the Image Display Area
Panasonic’s black-level adjustment can eliminate distracting black-level bumps in blends outside the image display area. This feature is applicable to flat screens with aligned adjacent images, either vertically or horizontally.
Flexibility and Expandability for a Timesaving Workflow
The REZ12 Series is compatible with an all-new lineup of optional lenses, offering improved native contrast performance and expanded powered lens-shift adjustment. It supports Intel SDM-ready Slot for seamless integration of optional function boards, ensuring easy adaptability and scalability.
Flexible Screen Adjustment
The Free Grid feature, accessible via the projector remote control, allows easy correction of image distortion on flat or curved screens by adjusting control points or V/H lines on an overlaid grid.
New Compact Body Supports Maintenance-free Projection
The REZ12 Series boasts a dust-resistant optical engine and liquid cooling system, complying with the IP5X Dust Protected standard. This design eliminates the need for an air filter and enables 20,000 hours of maintenance-free projection.
Additional Key Features
Import and Save Your Custom Test Patterns: In addition to 10 built-in test patterns, the projector allows users to import and save up to three custom test patterns via USB memory.
Supports Widescreen Input Signals: The REZ12 Series supports 21:9 widescreen input signals, catering to the demand for cinematic experiences.
Smart Projector Control App Smooths Your Workflow: The Smart Projector Control app simplifies setup and operation, allowing control of up to 64 projectors simultaneously. Features include test pattern selection, lens settings adjustment, brightness locking, and focus adjustment using a smartphone camera.
Save Prep Time Before Setup with NFC Function: The NFC function enables projector preparation for installation and setup at event sites without AC power or OSD projection. Settings such as Projector ID and IP address can be read and written using the Smart Projector Control app.
Quickly Find the Correct Projection Angle: Featuring a gyro sensor, the REZ12 Series aids installers in checking and adjusting the projection angle graphically in the OSD settings menu, facilitating precise installations.
Preactivated Upgrade Kits for Geo Pro Software: These kits enhance adjustment functionalities, providing tools for edge-blending, color uniformity, and masking.
Backup Input Redundancy: automatically switches to a backup input in case of primary input interruption, provides assurance of uninterrupted image display during events.
Highly Reliable Multi-Laser Drive Engine: Equipped with Failover Circuitry technology, the REZ12 Series ensures minimal brightness loss in case of a single laser diode failure, enhancing reliability.
Remote Preview LITE: allows projectionists to assess image adjustments through thumbnails on a laptop before video projection, reducing the chance of errors during events.
