Bright, Vibrant Large-Screen Images
A Full 16,000 lm of Brightness
and 2,500:1 Contrast
The 4-lamp optical system uses high-output, 380 W lamps to deliver
remarkable 16,000 lm brightness. And the contrast ratio is a high 2,500:1,
to ensure bright, crisp, large-screen projection.
Excellent Colors with Pure Color Control
It is inherently difficult for LCD projectors to attain both high brightness
and superb color reproduction. For this reason, in addition to the three
conventional LCD panels that control the light intensity for the red, blue
and green primary colors, the PT-EX16K also features a Pure Color Control
function that independently controls the light intensity of yellow coloring.
This provides rich overall color expression while maintaining brightness.

Full 10-Bit Image Processing System
The use of a full 10-bit image processing system provides smooth tonal
expression. For example, skin tones appear natural and true to life.
Balancing factors required to fill large spaces with breathtaking images.
Remarkable 16,000 lm brightness ensures sharp, crisp large-screen
projection. Pure Color Control, which independently controls yellow
brightness to improve color reproduction, attains this superb brightness
with optimal coloring. The 4-Lamp Optical System maintains high reliability.
And system expansion functions include horizontal/vertical lens shift and
a Multi-Screen Support System. These and other features enable flexible
installation for a wide variety of applications.

High Reliability for Long-Time Use
4-Lamp Optical System Enables Stable,
Extended Operation
Even if one lamp goes out during use, the other lamps continue, so
projection is not interrupted. Lamp Relay mode also allows long-time,
continuous operation.

Long-Time Image Quality
The LCD panels and polarizers inside the LCD projector's optical block
tend to degrade over time. Their degradation strongly and adversely affects
image quality. The inorganic LCD panels and polarizers in the PT-EX16K
resist time-related changes to achieve a replacement cycle of up to 10,000
hours. This maintains high image quality for a very long time.

Optional Smoke Cut Filter Provides
Protection from Fine Smoke Particles
The projector can be equipped with an optional Smoke Cut
Filter ET-SFE16 to prevent the entry of not only dust but also
fine smoke particles, such as those used for special effects
