Panasonic’s unique quad-lamp system, with its
new high-power UHM
lamps, has helped to
make the body ex

tremely compact while
providing an astound-
ing 20,000 lm*

brightness.
Dynamic Iris for a High 10,000:1
*

Contrast
Ratio
Panasonic’s Dynamic Iris
uses a scene-linking aper-
ture mechanism to achieve
a remarkable 10,000:1*
3
contrast without lowering its
high brightness. This helps
to reproduce deeper, richer
blacks, and provides images
with more detailed textures.
Detail Clarity Processor 3 Gives Natural
Clarity to Even the Finest Details
This unique Panasonic circuit optimizes the
sharpness of each image, based on the super-
high-, high-, medium-, and low-frequency com-
ponents of the extracted image information. The
resulting images have more natural, lifelike
expression.
System Daylight View 2 for Enhanced
Color Perception
This unique Panasonic technology optimizes
image quality to improve the color perception of
the projected image in bright rooms. With a
brightness of 20,000 lm*

, it provides highly
comfortable viewing even in bright lighting,
and allows viewers to concentrate easily on
the images.
DICOM Simulation Mode

This imaging mode is similar to DICOM part 14,
which is a medical imaging standard. It repro-
duces X-ray images with remarkable clarity.
Active 3D Projection Capability
(PT-DZ21K/DS20K)
The series is compatible with
both passive and active 3D
projection systems. It combines
with either a separate, external
100/120/144 Hz drive with IR emitter and active
shutter glasses, or an active filter and passive
glasses, for viewing 3D images.
Advanced Technologies for
Excellent Image Quality
• 3D color management system • Full 10-bit
image processing • Progressive cinema scan
(3:2 pulldown) • Dynamic sharpness control
• Digital noise reduction • IP conversion
• AI scene control • 2:2 pulldown mode
• sRGB compatibility • Fine-adjustable color
temperature • Waveform monitor function
High Reliability and Low TCO
with Easy Maintenance
Low TCO and an Environmentally
Friendly Design
The PT-DZ21K Series projectors lower the total
cost of ownership (
TCO
) because they have a
lamp replacement cycle of up to 2,000 hours*
2
.
Their environmentally friendly design also
includes a low power consumption of 2,300 W.
Four-Lamp System Enables Stable,
Extended Operation
The four-lamp system allows the projector to
keep working even if a lamp should fail. The
Lamp Relay mode also operates the lamps alter-
nately to enable 24/7 projection. Quad, Triple,
Dual and Single Lamp modes can be used.
Easy Lamp Replacement
For easier maintenance, you can replace the
lamp from the rear. This makes it easy to replace
a lamp while the projector is still in the mounting
bracket or dual stacked.
Liquid Cooling System Attains a High Level
of Reliability
This new liquid cooling system directly cools the
DLP™ chip to improve performance and enable
operation up to 45 °C (113 °F).*

It allows quiet
(49 dB) and versatile use while stabilizing perfor-
mance. It also helps to make the body compact.
And the system is hermetically sealed, so you
don’t need to replenish the liquid.
Eco Filter that Needs No Maintenance for
up to 12,000 Hours

The Eco Filter has an electrostatic Micro Cut
Filter that collects minute dust particles with an
ion effect. It combines with the dust-resistant
cabinet to enable long-term use even under
harsh conditions. Its maintenance cycle of up to
