Panasonic Connect Europe has launched a sustainable range of LCD projectors.
The PT-VMZ7ST and PT-VMZ6ST are Panasonic’s fixed, short-throw LCD laser projectors from the VMZ7ST series.
The models are based on Panasonic’s VMZ82 compact series and offer flexible installation in difficult-to-reach areas.
Sustainability is at the core of the design, using Panasonic’s Auto Power On function to begin projection upon signal detection.
The auto function increases power efficiency by nearly 53% without compromising brightness, delivering 20,000 hours of continuous projection.
The ECO Filter can be washed and reused twice to minimise waste, complementing the eco-friendly chassis made with 56% of recycled resins.
The series features a short-throw lens ratio of 0.797-1.01:1 alongside a 1.2x optical zoom and wide-range V/H lens shift, projecting a 100” image from approximately 1.72m (5.6 ft).
This minimises shadows when viewing close-up in immersive environments, consolidated by Panasonic’s Powered Focus to accommodate various room sizes.
The Angle Monitor function enables the projection tilt angle to be visualised remotely, while geometric correction functions enable the VMZ7ST Series to be positioned onto different surface shapes and sizes.
The VMZ7ST Series features Daylight View Basic technology and colour management, allowing image quality to be tweaked based on ambient lighting, hue, saturation and value.
Hartmut Kulessa, European marketing manager at Panasonic Connect Europe, said: “The VMZ7ST Series of projectors offers a cost-effective solution for immersive museum experiences and corporate environments, delivering class-leading brightness and installation flexibility that minimises set-up and maintenance costs where budgets are tight.
“The VMZ7ST Series takes sustainable projection for short-throw projectors to new levels, whilst delivering bright, sharp visuals that users have come to expect from Panasonic.”
