Picture Quality

Compact Yet Bright
Panasonic's original dual-lamp system, with its
new 355-W lamp, has helped to make the body
as compact as Panasonic's original PT-D7700U
Series, while providing a full 10,600 lm
brightness with 120-VAC operation.
New Dynamic Iris for a High 10,000:1
Contrast Ratio
Panasonic's new Dynamic
Iris uses a scene-linking
aperture mechanism to
achieve a remarkable

10,000:1 * contrast without
lowering its high brightness.
This helps to reproduce
deeper, richer blacks, and
provides images with more
detailed textures.
Detail Clarity Processor 3 Brings Depth
and Clarity to Details
The frequency of the video signal is analyzed for
each scene, and distribution data is extracted
for the ultrahigh, high, medium and low range
frequencies. This unique Panasonic image correc-
tion circuit optimally enhances each area of the
screen. High-precision detection is applied from
2-dimensional horizontal/vertical data to produce
more natural, lifelike images with high definition.

System Daylight View 2 for Enhanced
Color Perception
This original Panasonic technology optimizes image
quality to improve color perception of the projected
image in bright rooms. Gamma curves and sharp-
ness, in addition to conventional color correction,
are adjusted to bring a sense of sharpness to the
entire screen and reproduce stunning images with
lifelike depth. This results in highly comfortable
viewing even in bright lighting, and allows viewers
to concentrate easily on the images.

either automatically or manually as you prefer.

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. It also
allows information to be shared by many viewers
on a large screen, such as during conferences or
training courses.

Full-HD Ready WUXGA Resolution
(PT-DZ8700U)
In response to the increasing popularity of wide-
screen image viewing, including Blu-ray content,
the PT-DZ8700U features native WUXGA resolution
for full-HD viewing. This brings you lifelike projec-
tion of intricate, highly detailed images.

Panasonic's Original Dual Lamp System
(PT-DZ8700U)
This system eliminates the interruption if a lamp
should fail (in dual-lamp operation mode). The
Lamp Relay mode also operates the lamps alter-
nately to enable 24/7 projection.

Auto Cleaning Filter Reduces
Maintenance Hassles
Panasonic's proprietary Auto Cleaning Filter (ACF)
automatically exposes a clean filter surface when
it senses that the filter is clogged. The ACF also
brushes away dust that adheres to the filter, which
helps prevent clogging that can impair operation
or cause malfunction. This helps maintain the

superior dust-collecting performance of the Micro
Cut Filter, which is a highly efficient electrostatic
filter. As a result, the

greatly reducing the
hassle of maintenance.
Optional Smoke Cut Filter ET-SFD310
The projector can be equipped with an optional,
extra-strong air
filter to prevent
the entry of
smoke, such as
those used for
special effects at
events and stage
performances.
Quiet 37-dB
An original cooling system enhances the compact
body and enables the projector to operate at a
silent 37 dB.
NOTES
* 1 The PT-DW8300U has 9,600 lm of brightness.
* 2 In Dynamic Iris mode 3. * 3 This product is not
a medical instrument. Do not use it for actual
medical diagnosis. * 4 The values above are maxi-
mum values when they are used in cycles of being
turned on for 2 hours and off for 0.25 hour. When
the lamps are turned on and off more frequently,
the lamp replacement cycle is shortened. It is rec-
ommended that the mechanical shutter be used to
turn images off for a short period. * 5 The usage
environment influences the duration of the filter.
* 6 In dual lamp operation, with lamp low mode.
Measurement, measuring conditions, and method
of notation all comply with ISO 21118 international
standards.
