Panasonic goes Lamp Free!
Evan Powell — Jun 13, 2012
Today at the Infocomm trade show in Las Vegas Panasonic unveiled four new conference/installation projectors featuring a lamp-free LED/Laser Diode light source with an estimated life of 20,000 hours. These single-chip DLP projectors are the industry’s first 24/7 duty cycle projectors to feature lamp-free design.
The flagship units are the PT-RZ470 and PT-RZ430, designed for professional system integration. They include features such as edge blending and color matching for multi-unit installation, and they are 3D ready. Both of these are rated at 3000 lumens and 20,000:1 contrast. The primary difference between the two is that the RZ470 has 1920x1080 resolution, and the RZ430 is 1280x800.
Less fully featured and at lower price points are the PT-RZ370 and PT-RZ330. These are intended for free-standing use in applications where capabilities like edge blending and color matching are not required. They are also rated at 3000 lumens, with a lower contrast rating of 5000:1. The RZ370 is 1920x1080 and the RZ330 is 1280x800.
All four models feature Digital Link with HDBaseT technology which allows HDMI and other uncompressed video signals, audio signals and control commands to be sent via a single Cat5e/6 LAN cable, greatly simplifying installation. They are compatible with Crestron’s DigitalMedia 8G+, Extron’s XTP Systems, and AMX’s DGX Digital Media Switchers. They all have lens-centered design, a 2x zoom lens and vertical/horizontal lens shift to make placement as easy as possible.
The industry’s first LED/laser light engine was introduced by Casio in a series of 5-lb. portable products designed for the mobile presenter. The first generation Casio units did not fare well when it came to stable lumen output or color stability over the life of the products. In these more robust installation models, weighing 22 lbs, Panasonic believes the stability issues have been resolved and that users will see consistent lumen output and color fidelity over the entire life of the light engine. This remains to be seen of course but if Panasonic has achieved its objective, this represents a step forward in performance not only in LED/laser engine design, but over conventional high pressure lamps as well.
Pricing on these units has not yet been established as they are not ready for shipment. The RZ330 is expected to commence shipments in November, and the other three are slated for January/February 2013.

wow laser projection na! these should utilize really really low power consumption.

is it true na hindi napupundi ang led?

its rated 20,000 hours, its light degrades very slowly unlike the conventional bulb. its the next level in projection technology.

at least led bulb is much cheaper than conventional just hope the price is right
-
Panalo sana the price is right. ;D ;D
-
Sana lang friendly din ang price :)

I dont think these are ordinary LEDs that are cheap. Maybe after 10 years it will go cheap... ;D
-
Feeling ko Millionaire-Friendly ang price, hehehe ;D ;D ;D

Malamang. :)

lapit na ;D
OK ito atleast di na mahirap magbenta ng PJ dahil mahaba haba ang lamp hours :D
-
Kailangan na tumaya sa lotto para ready to buy come Q4! ;D

As I have derived from the article, they are being marketed as Presentation projectors and not for home theater use. Sana nga di masyadong mahal.
Extended lamp hours is good....performance-wise in HT applications.. ::)

Runco offers great LED HT projectors that cost an arm and a leg.

Mas maganda ang LED HT projectors ng SIM2! :)

Ayun pala. :) Mas maganda pa din yung bago mong SXRT/SXRD projector. Pwede naman dalasan ang palit ng bulb kung nagdropoff na output. :)

This is what you term as VERSION 1.0

I agree, pero yung syo basta well calibrated panalong panalo master.

I'm sure the price is more than half of your projector >:D
We are on the business of LED technology (wafer level) at first they are still very expensive because of the technology and less competition. Another term for LED is SSL (Solid State Lighting).
Remember when the HID arrives they are very expensive(Php55k) now you can get for Php2k
Top of the Line Audi cars are using LED technology to it's lighting even the Headlamps and they are very expensive ;D
