The dual-lamp projector outputs 7,000 lumens at WUXGA resolution and introduces a host of premium features, normally reserved for flagship large-venue projectors.
Hartmut Kulessa, marketing manager projector products, Panasonic Visual System Solutions, said, "Again in an installation-class projector, we have provided a spec sheet which will set the DZ780 series apart from the competition.
"What is more, the series reduces the total cost of ownership by doubling recommended lamp replacement to 4,000 hours in normal mode, over comparable models. There is also no requirement for air filter replacement, because of the dust-proof hermetic optical engine."
Dual lamps and Relay Mode enable continuous 24-hour operation while ensuring uninterrupted playback in the event of lamp failure and, for the first time at this level, high-end System Daylight View 2 joins Panasonic's proven Dynamic RGB Booster and Detail Clarity Processor technologies to ensure vivid colour reproduction, exceptional detail, and high brightness, even in well-lit spaces.
The DZ780 series comprises the PT-DZ780 (7,000 lm, WUXGA), PT-DW750 (7,000 lm, WXGA), and PT-DX820 (8,200 lm, XGA) and launches in April 2015.
