Panasonic PT-RQ13KU 3-Chip DLP™ 4K+ Large Venue Laser Projector

Panasonic PT-RQ13KU The World's Lightest and Smallest 3-Chip DLP 4K+ Laser Phosphor Projector

Panasonic Bright and Vivid Picture Quality

Combining 3-Chip DLP™ imaging with Panasonic’s original SOLID SHINE Laser technology, the PT-RQ13K achieves lifelike 4K+ resolution with a high 10,000 lm of brightness. Two powerful solid-state laser light source modules and three independent DLP™ chips for red, green, and blue ensure outstanding brightness, color accuracy, and contrast.

More Accurate Color Reproduction

The PT-RQ13K captures a more accurate Rec. 709-compliant color space than comparable laser projectors. A blue laser ensures greater precision while an expanded color gamut improves white balance accuracy

Ultra-Durable Laser Optical Engine for Continuous 24-hour Operation

Dual-Drive Laser Optical Engine uses two discrete light sources grouping laser diodes into modules. A laser light source redundancy circuit ensures minimal reduction in brightness and color uniformity in the event of laser diode failure, making the PT-RQ13K ideal for applications where maintaining vision is critical. Further, brightness decreases gradually and in a linear rather than exponential fashion (as is common to lamp-based projectors) over its 20,000-hour
*1 maintenance-free service life.

Quad Pixel Drive Goes Beyond 4K

The PT-RQ13K achieves better-than-4K resolution by employing a high-speed 2560 x 1600-pixel (WQXGA) DMD chip that shifts each pixel vertically and horizontally, effectively quadrupling the pixel count. Working together with Real Motion Processor 240 Hz frame-creation technology, Quad Pixel Drive produces stunningly detailed 5120 x 3200-pixel (4K+, 16:10) images that retain natural sharpness and clarity when upscaling from a native Full HD source. As well as producing liquid-smooth and accurate video, the added detail also makes small text clearly legible on images used in presentations and lectures.

Flexible Setup and Smooth Operation

Unlike conventional lamp-based projectors, the PT-RQ13K’s SOLID SHINE Laser system allows free 360-degree installation through any axis. Together with extra-wide-range powered lens shift and a big range of optional lenses shared by Panasonic’s 3-Chip DLP™ projector family, the PT-RQ13K can be mounted in any way desired without picture distortion

Dynamic Contrast Function for High 20,000:1 Contrast

The PT-RQ13K projector directly modulates laser power output to enable high
contrast while reducing power consumption. Digitally controlled frame-byframe scene-linking modulation ensures highly precise light output adjustment, and accurate 20,000:1 contrast is achieved even when bright and dark scenes suddenly or frequently interchange. There is also almost no drop in contrast after extended use.

System Daylight View 3 Improves Color Perception

This proprietary technology optimizes image quality to improve color perception of images projected onto walls and other exotic surface materials (ideal for mapping applications) as well as in environments with bright ambient light. Combined with high 10,000 lm brightness, the PT-RQ13K delivers clear and comfortable viewing in the most challenging applications.

Waveform Monitor Function

When source device output level uctuates due to the performance of the device or its cable connections, the original black and white le vels of the image cannot be reproduced correctly. The PT-RQ13K displays the waveforms on screen where they can be adjusted either automatically or manually as preferred

When the operating mode is set to “Eco”, or “Long Life 1/2/3”, the operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C (32 °F to 104 °F). When the projector is used with a Smoke Cut Filter, the operating temperature range is 0°C to 35°C (32 °F to 95 °F). Furthermore, when the operating mode is set to “Eco”, or “Long Life 1/2/3”, the projector cannot be used at altitudes above 2700 m (8,858 ft). In addition, when the projector is used with a Smoke Cut Filter, it cannot be used at altitudes above 1,400 m (4,593 ft). The brightness of the light source may drop depending on the operating environment and the operating temperature range in order to protect the projector.
