Multi Projector Monitoring & Control
Software Ver. 2
Panasonic's original freeware "Multi Projector
Monitoring & Control Software Ver. 2" allows the
user to control and monitor multiple projectors at
the same time over a wired LAN. When a problem
occurs, an alarm message is sent to the monitor-
ing/controlling PC.
Web Browser Control
The PT-DZ8700
series can be easily
operated remotely
over a LAN network,
because it is all
done using the
computer's familiar
web browser. Fur-
thermore, the pro-
jector sends an e-mail message to notify the

A Wide Selection of Lenses
Choose from a wide lineup of lenses for your sys-
tem, including short-throw, long-throw zoom and
fixed-throw lenses for rear projection use. The
additional lenses make it easy to adapt your pro-
jector to the installation site. The lenses attach
and detach with one-touch ease.
Multiple Terminals with HD-SDI
Compatibility
8
*
The PT-DZ8700 series has an array of terminals,
including a DVI-D (HDCP compliant), to support a
broad range of projection needs. Using the serial
terminal (RS-232C), it is possible to connect and
operate AMX and Crestron control systems with
ease. In addition, the PT-DZ8700U and
PT-DS8500U accommodate the HD/SD-SDI input
signals that are widely used in broadcasting.
Direct Power Off
The cooling fan continues to operate even when
the main power switch is turned off after projec-
tion 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 mount-
ed systems, where the main power switch cannot
be reached.

Scheduling Function

Scheduled operation is possible using the built-in
timer function, without having to use a PC and
software. For example, when using the projector
for digital signage in a store, it can be set to
operate with two lamps in the daytime and one
lamp at night.
