PT-MZ682

Sustainability is a big consideration for businesses and schools. Acquisition managers want to invest in systems that contribute to the organization’s sustainability goals by choosing efficient AV tech that minimizes waste. The PT-MZ882 Series reduces impact throughout the projector’s lifecycle, from procurement and manufacturing to transport, installation, usage, and disposal. It represents a significant step towards sustainability without sacrificing performance. In fact, the picture is brighter, operating noise is reduced, and usability is enhanced.

_{1 Around this time, the light output will have decreased by approximately 50 %. IEC62087: 2008 Broadcast Contents, NORMAL/QUIET Mode, Picture Mode [DYNAMIC], Dynamic Contrast [2], temperature 30 ℃ (86 °F), elevation 700 m (2,297 ft) with 0.15 mg/m³ of airborne particulate matter. Panasonic recommends a checkup at the point of purchase after about 20,000 hours. Light-source lifetime may be reduced depending on environmental conditions. Replacement of parts other than the light source and filter may be required in a shorter period. Estimated maintenance time varies depending on the environment.
Note: Lamp replacement cycle is approximate and varies by model.}

Less Maintenance, Less Waste, Less Downtime

ECO Filter includes a Micro-Cut Filter that collects minute dust particles with an electrostatic effect. With the dust-resistant projector cabinet design, ECO Filter enables low maintenance and long-term use with less downtime. Filter replacement is recommended at 20,000 hours¹ when used in typical office and classroom environments. If it’s necessary to maintain the filter before then, it can be washed and reused up to two times², reducing wastage, cost, and labor.

_{1 Filter replacement cycles (measured values) are shown for environments with 0.15 mg/m³ of airborne particulate matter. The filter replacement cycle varies depending on the usage conditions and usage environment.
2 When washing the filter with water, please follow the procedures listed in the operating instructions. Replacement is recommended after it has been washed and reused twice or if it is not sufficiently clean after washing.}

Multi-Laser Drive Engine Enhances Reliability

Multi-Laser Drive Engine ensures stable projection in the unlikely event that light-source problems occur. PT-MZ882 Series is equipped with multiple modules consisting of many laser diodes. If one of the elements malfunctions, Failover Circuitry is activated so that projection can continue with minimal brightness reduction. This gives your presenters the confidence to work without fear of equipment failure in the middle of a presentation.

Daylight View Basic is a dynamic adjustment technology that enhances image sharpness by clarifying detail definition in dark areas of the picture, which can be difficult to see in bright light. A sensor measures the ambient light in the room and optimizes sharpness, halftone color, contrast, and brightness for best results according to the room’s illumination.

With lessons, meetings, and other events often including remote participants, projector noise mustn’t distract from the presentation. Quiet projection helps people focus, whether in the room or participating remotely. PT-MZ882 Series includes a Quiet Mode enabling whisper-quiet 25 dB¹ operation, helping these stylish projectors blend unobtrusively into the background to keep attention focused on the presentation.

PT-MZ882 Series ships with the ET-ELS20 (1.61–2.76:1) powered zoom lens and is compatible with six other optional lenses. Powered V/H lens-shift (V: ±67%, H: ±35%), zoom, and focus adjustment are supported via the remote control or Smart Projector Control app. The lineup of optional lenses includes the ET-ELU20 Ultra-Short-Throw Zoom Lens (0.330–0.353:1). This lens projects content without offset at the top and bottom of the image, making the PT-MZ882 Series a cost-effective solution for museums and Location-Based Entertainment (LBE) applications.

_{Note: V/H lens shift values are for the ET-ELS20 (equivalent to the supplied lens), ET-ELT22, ET-ELT23, and ET-ELW20. Other V/H lens shift values are as follows: V: ±60%, H: ±30% (ET-ELW22) and V: ±50%, H: ±24% (ET-ELU20). The ET-ELW21 does not support lens shift. The PT-MZ882 Series does not support some Smart Projector Control App functions. Check device compatibility at the App Store or the Google Play Store.}

Geo Pro simplifies geometric, blending, and color uniformity adjustments, streamlining your multi-screen calibration workflow. The software expands built-in geometric and multi-screen adjustment capabilities with a Free Grid function that governs 4-corner adjustment, keystone correction, curved-screen correction, and free-form image correction via a user-friendly interface. Software-based tools for multi-screen calibration include color matching, brightness control, color uniformity, black level, and input-signal adjustment.

PT-MZ882 Series accepts 4K input signals via HDMI™ and DIGITAL LINK connections. This is handy if you plan to distribute 4K content from a PC to various display endpoints with different screen resolutions. You don’t need to manually reencode the video content to suit this projector series or use an external video converter, reducing system complexity.

_{Note: 4K input signals are converted to the projector’s resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels) upon projection. YPBPR 4:2:0 format only for 4K/60p and 4K/50p signals input via DIGITAL LINK.}
