The wide adjustment range of the powered 

horizontal/vertical lens shift function assures 

convenience and versatility during installation. 

It lets you easily make adjustments with the 

remote control. The unit can also be rotated 

360 degrees vertically. This means you can 

install it at any angle you want, to 

accommodate different installation conditions.

 

Flexible Installation

A lens-centered, symmetrical design provides 

ease of installation, eliminating the need for 

special considerations when planning the 

installation site.

Lens-Centered Design

P-in-P Mode

* In STANDBY MODE set to ECO, network functions such as power on over the LAN will not operate. Also, 

   only certain commands can be received for external control using the serial terminal.

Choose from a wide lineup of lenses for your system, including 

short-throw, long-throw zoom and fixed-throw lenses for rear 

projection use. The additional lenses make it 

easy to adapt your projector to the installation 

site. The lenses attach and detach with 

one-touch ease.

 

A Wide Selection of Optional Lenses

All you need to do is designate four points as the corners of the 

projected image, and this function automatically carries out 

horizontal and vertical keystone correction.  

* PT-EZ570/EW630/EX600 only.

Corner Keystone Correction

 Enables Angled Projection

Extensive interfaces include HDMI and DVI-D input terminals, 

two sets of computer (RGB) input terminals, and a serial 

(RS-232C) terminal for external control. It is also possible to 

output audio during Standby mode. This is convenient when 

connecting an external audio system through the projector.

Abundant Terminals Including HDMI and DVI-D Inputs

The PT-EZ570 Series projectors feature a high-output 10-watt monaural speaker 

that produces a large sound volume without requiring external speakers.

Built-in 10-W Speaker 

You can change the default Panasonic start up logo to your desired 

logo.  A new logo can be easily uploaded by connecting a computer to 

the PT-EZ570 Series through the LAN or serial connection by using the 

Logo Transfer Software*. An abundance of other security 

measures are also included, such as a security bar, a user 

password and a control panel lock.

Effective Theft Prevention with the Startup Logo

The PT-EZ570 Series can be easily operated 

remotely over a LAN network, because it is all 

done using the computer’s familiar web browser. 

Furthermore, the projector sends an e-mail 

message to notify the operator when an error 

has occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced.

Web Browser Control/Monitoring and E-mail Message Alert

Panasonic’s original freeware, “Multi Projector Monitoring & 

Control Software,” allows the user to control and monitor multiple 

projectors at the same time via LAN. Projectors can be scheduled 

to turn on and off at a certain hour everyday. When a problem 

occurs, an alarm message is sent to the monitoring/controlling PC.

Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Software

The LAN terminals support PJLink™ Class 1 connection, which is 

highly convenient for system construction.

PJLink™ Compatibility

Two different image sources can be simultaneously displayed onto 

a single screen. You can also switch to P-in-P (Picture-in-Picture) 

mode and display a sub-window onto the main screen. 

The sub-window can be positioned at any of the four corners (upper 

left, upper right, lower left, lower right) 

to expand the usable area as only a 

wide-screen projector can do.

Other Valuable Features

Easy Lamp and 

Air Filter Replacement

The quiet design keeps noise levels down to 31-dB, so the sound 

of the cooling fan is hardly noticeable. This helps the audience to 

keep their attention on the speech when someone is giving a 

presentation or on the screen images during quiet scenes.

For easy maintenance, you can replace 

the filter from the side and the lamp from 

the top of the projector. The filter and 

lamp are easily replaced even after the 

projector is installed on the ceiling.

 

• Closed caption dec

 Design Does Not Interrupt Meetings or Classes

The mechanical lens shutter completely blocks annoying light 

leakage when the projector is on standby or temporarily not in 

use, such as during a meeting.

Ecology

Conscious 

Design

The cooling fan continues to operate even when the main 

power switch is turned off after projection is finished. This 

also allows the power to be turned off by directly switching off 

the room’s main breaker for systems, such as ceiling mounted 

systems, where the main power switch cannot be reached.

• No halogenated flame 

retardants are used in the cabinet.

• Lead-fr

ee glass is used for the lens.

• Lamp power switching further r

educes power consumption.

• "ECO" button on the r

emote control.

•

use Crestron RoomView™ application software to manage and 

control system devices.

Conventional Projector

Daylight View Basic

Even with its light, compact body, the PT-EZ570 Series produces 

brightness of up to 6,000 lm

*1

. In addition, the iris automatically 

adjusts itself to match the situation, resulting in high contrast 

ratio of up to 5,000:1

*2

.

Panasonic's Daylight View Basic technology achieves sharp, 

easy-to-see images by clearly reproducing the details in 

dark image areas, which were previously difficult to see in 

brightly lit rooms. A built-in sensor measures the ambient 

light, and the Daylight View Basic function adjusts the 

halftone color and brightness level according to the 

surrounding illumination.

 

Compact, Yet Bright and High Contrast

Full-HD Ready WUXGA Resolution 

(PT-EZ570/L)

In response to the increasing popularity of widescreen image 

viewing, including Blu-ray content, the PT-EZ570/L features 

native WUXGA resolution for full-HD viewing. This brings you 

lifelike projection of intricate, highly detailed images.

Clear Images Even in Brightly Lit Rooms

The PT-EZ570 Series projectors’ optical block maintains a high 

level of performance over time, due to the use of inorganic 

materials in the LCD panels and polarizers, thus achieving a 

replacement cycle of 10,000 hours. It also makes them the 

logical choice for a truly dependable LCD projector system.

Inorganic Materials Maintain Image Quality Longer 

A number of functions are provided to reduce power

consumption. They adjust the brightness according to ambient

light conditions, and reduce the lamp power when there is no

signal input or the projector is in AV Mute mode*. You can easily

set the Eco Management functions according to 

operating conditions by using the ECO button on 

the remote control.

Eco Management Functions

The PT-EZ570 Series projectors feature a lamp replacement 

cycle of up to 4,000 hours. This helps to lower operating 

costs by providing longer usage between lamp replacements.

Lamp Replacement Cycle of up to 4,000 Hours

*5

When the Standby mode is set to Eco, the standby power 
consumption is low at 0.4 W. This lowers running costs, 
and helps to reduce environmental impact. 

Environmentally Friendly Standby 

Power Consumption of Only 0.4 W

*6

Intelligent Lamp Control System Reduces 

Power Consumption

The cabinet is designed with a straight airflow path, from 

intake to exhaust. The shielding of the lens section, where 

dust is likely to enter, has been further improved to keep dust 

out. And the sealing performance of the air filter unit and air 

intake duct has been increased to prevent the entry of dust 

from the filter periphery, resulting in a highly dust-resistant 

structure. The Eco Filter unit, which efficiently captures dust 

in the intake airflow path, requires no replacement for 12,000 

hours

*3

. And the large, pleated Micro Cut Filter (electrostatic 

filter) uses an ion effect to trap minute dust particles, further 

raising the overall dust-trapping capability. These features 

minimize the entry of dust into the optical block and maintain 

brightness over a long period of time, while reducing the 

hassle of maintenance. Also, 

in addition to achieving a long 

replacement cycle, the Eco Filter can 

be washed with water

*4

 and reused 

as an environmental consideration.

Ecology-Conscious Reliability

Ecology-Conscious Reliability

When the lamp power is set to Auto, the intelligent lamp control 

system automatically adjusts the lamp output in accordance 

with the brightness of the projected image and reduces it by up 

to 70 %

*7

. It also combines with color shift correction, which 

corrects the shift in the color balance that occurs when the 

lamp output drops. As a result, power consumption is effectively 

reduced while excellent color reproduction is maintained.
