Panasonic creates immersive experiences
To help venues re-imagine attractions and welcome back audiences in person, Panasonic has designed the ET-D3QW200 short-throw lens in collaboration with Illuminarium, a fully immersive 260° entertainment centre. Created specifically for the PT-RQ50K 3-Chip DLP Solid Shine laser projector, the ET-D3QW200 lens is suitable for events that encourage full immersion into content and require crystal clear images. The short-throw lens (0.55–0.65:1) allows audiences to approach content without casting a shadow, providing full top-to-bottom screen coverage with zero offset, inviting audiences to fully take in the visuals, stimulate their senses and step into the action. The Active Focus Optimizer is said to keep the image pin-sharp, while the L-shaped design helps to reduce the amount of installation depth, welcoming installations in small spaces.
The PT-RDQ10 Series 1-Chip DLP Solid Shine 4K laser projectors have been designed for live entertainment, exhibition and museum venues, and are said to bring a new level of realism to events, engaging returning audiences by immersing them in the centre of the action. Colours are described as natural and bright, with vivid, vibrant and richly detailed 4K resolution from Smooth Pixel Drive technology providing a close-up and immersive experience.
The PT-RDQ10 Series reportedly reduces logistic and installation hassles with new features and workflow improvements, including the Smart Projector Control application and Near Field Communication function. These features are said to make it easy to read and change basic setups just by holding a mobile device against the projector’s touchpoint, while the new Remote Preview function makes it possible to check the content signal remotely via multimedia control software or a web browser. Panasonic’s pre-activated Geometry Manager Pro upgrade software reportedly streamlines even the most complex edge-blending and projection-mapping installations.
The projectors provide 20,000 hours of “virtually maintenance-free” 24/7 operation, thanks to an air-tight and dust-resistant optical unit and cooling system. The PT-RDQ10 Series is compatibile with a wide range of the manufacturer’s 1-Chip DLP lens options. When paired with the optional ET-DLE020 ultra short-throw lens, additional versatility is possible, enabling images to be projected in extremely tight spaces and minimising on-screen shadows. Models range from 8,000 to 10,000 lumens and are available in compact and lightweight black or white cabinets.
