3-Chip DLP Technology in aSleek, Compact BodyThe World’s Lightest 3-Chip Large-VenueDLP ProjectorThe PT-DW7000E series combines the latest3-chip system based on DLP technology witha new optical system developed using ourexclusive technology. We have dramaticallyreduced the cabinet size, creating a unit witonly one-fifth the volume of conventionallarge-venue 3-chip DLP projectors. This featof design and technology achieved the world’slightest* WXGA 3-chip projector with DLP technology. With a weight of 48.5 pounds(22.0 kg), the PT-DW7000E/E-K can go placesother bulky 3-chip projectors with DLP technologyhave never gone before.Superb Image Quality* As of December 2006.Conventional large-venueDLP projectorsThe PT-DW7000E/E-K are the world’s smallestand lightest WXGA 3-chip projectors withDLP technology.PT-DW7000ENative 16:9 PanelsThe PT-DW7000 is the world’s first 3-chipDLP installation projector with 16:9 wideaspect panels. Unique to Panasonic, thesepanels let the PT-DW7000E/E-K projectwide-screen images without sacrificing thesuperior image quality provided by DLP technology.They also fit more information onto aPC screen.16PC (4:3) Video (4:3)Picture in Picture images also fit more easilyonto the screen.9Image Quality from 3-Chip DLP TechnologyDLP technology delivers outstanding imageresolution. In 3-chip systems with DLP technology—consideredamong the world’s mostadvanced projector engines—a DLP chip isallocated to each of the red, green, and bluesignals. This gives systems with DLP technologysuperior light utilisation for high brightness,digital processing for low noise and linearwhite balance, extended device life forminimal image degradation, and a quickresponse that eliminates afterimages.Powerful 6,000 LumensIn addition to the 300-watt UHM lamp, thePT-DW7000E series incorporates digital andoptical technologies that maximise the DLP technology advantages. They deliver 6,000Lumens of brightness, offering superior colourreproducibility.Astounding 4,000:1 Contrast Ratio withDynamic IrisPanasonic’s original Dynamic Iris achievesa dramatically improved contrast ratio of4,000:1 in the PT-DW7000E series. DynamicIris constantly monitors the input signal, andadjusts the intensity of the light source tomatch it. This highly advanced functionprovides high-speed, linear response tochanging images with 256-step precision.It also combines with dynamic gammacontrol to produce deep, rich blacks whilepreserving the brightness in the lighter portionsof dark scenes.16-Bit Colour Depth forFilm-Like Natural ImageApplying 16-bit drive to each of the RGB panelsproduces 8 times the level of expression(a total of 24 times for all three RGB panels)of conventional 13-bit drive devices. This systemcreates extremely smooth tonal expressionwith approx. 65,000 shades of gradation.Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 Pulldown)This interlace/progressive conversion technologyautomatically detects when the input signalis derived from filmed material and selects theoptimum progressive processing method toassure faithful reproduction of the originalimage. It is also compatible with the high-definition1080i format.Dynamic Sharpness ControlThe Dynamic Sharpness Control circuit adjuststhe video signal waveforms based on the differencein the brightness of adjacent pixelsfor a sharp, clear picture that is relativelyunaffected by signal noise.High Reliability andEasy MaintenanceLiquid-Cooling SystemIn systems with DLP technology, the microscopicmirrors of the DLP chip turn the lighton and off. During the off period, light isdirected away from the lens. Handling theheat from this light is a major point in maintainingthe long-term performance of projectorswith DLP Liquid-cooling devicetechnology.Panasonic’s newlydeveloped liquidcoolingsystemextends projectorperformance andattains a high levelof reliability.On lightCooling liquidOff lightDustproof Design with Sealed Optical BlockWe have minimised the effect of dust by completelysealing the optical block. This dust-freedesign helps ensure that 3-chip projectorswith DLP technology will continue to delivercrisp, sharp, high-resolution images over anextended service life.Dual Lamp System and Lamp Relay FunctionThe use of two lamp systems increasesbrightness and eliminates the need to interrupta presentation if a lamp burns out (indual lamp operation mode). In single lampoperation mode, the lamp relay function greatlyextends continuous operating time.Optional Long-Life LampA long-life lamp that stretches lamp life to4,000 hours is available as an option. In singlelamp operation mode, the lamp lamp relayfunction allows non-stop operation 24 hours aday for up to 47 weeks without replacing the
