| The PT-DS8500 features reliable
dual-lamp technology with 10,600 lumens of brightness. Designed
with same footprint as predecessor model, the PT-D7700/DW7000
Series for easy retrofitting. Together with Auto Cleaning Filter
and up to 4,000hr lamp life in eco mode, the projector boasts for
its low maintenance cost. 
 The PT-DS8500 offers 10,600 lumens, a 10,000:1 contrast ratio 4:3
aspect ratio and 1400 x 1050 SXGA+ resolution. It is ideally suited
for a wide range of fixed installation and public display venues
including live events, auditoriums, staging, digital signage and
independent cinema. With dual-lamp operation, the PT-DZ8700 series
is also tailor-made for any 24/7 implementation, such as command
and control centers.
 
 The projectors are distinguished by superb picture quality: a
Dynamic Iris system helps reproduce deeper, richer black and
achieve the remarkable 10,000:1 contrast ratio; a Detail Clarity
Processor 3, a Panasonic exclusive, produces pictures with natural,
three-dimensional appearance and crisp, clear detail; and a DICOM*
simulation picture mode is offered for use in medical
applications.
 
 • A compact body with 10,600
lm* of brightness and high picture quality.
 • The Auto Cleaning Filter eliminates filter replacements for
about 10,000 hours.
 • Multi-Unit Brightness Control corrects the brightness
fluctuations in the individual projectors of a multi-screen
system.
