The interactive1 3LCD PT-TW351R series2 offers 10,000 hours maintenance-free operation in ECO Mode and comprises four short throw models, each capable of producing an 80-inch image from as little as 75 cm away, eliminating presenter shadowing.
The series consists of two WXGA models (PT-TW351R and PT-TW350) each with 3,300 lm of brightness and two XGA models available in 3,800 lm (PT-TX410) and 3,200 lm (PT-TX320). The projectors feature an increased contrast ratio of 16,000:1 for clear and crisp image and text reproduction.
The series allows presenters to notate a projected image using either the optional interactive pen or Panasonic whiteboard software.
In addition, Panasonic is also launching the light weight PT-LB423 series. Weighing just 2.9 kg, the six-model series delivers an impressive 3,600 lm of brightness at WXGA resolution (PT-LW373) or up to 4,100 lm at XGA (PT-LB423) for superb image quality. A manual 1.2x zoom lens enables a wide range of projection distances for convenience.
Both new projector series feature a wired LAN terminal3 and a USB input for the optional wireless module (ET-WML100). They support the playback of images via a built-in USB media player, while a second USB terminal offers plug-and-play audio4. Media playout is possible from Presenter Light software for Windows PCs, or from the VueMagic Pro app for iOS and Android.
"At just 28db, these are two silent workhorse projectors for the education and corporate market," said Hartmut Kulessa, European projector marketing manager. "We know that these markets demand a plug and play projector, so we have included Daylight View Lite, which optimises images according to ambient light, meaning the image quality is always great."
