3-Chip DLP™ 4K Laser Projector with Quad Pixel Drive

16,000 Lumen Brightness

Deliver More for Less with the 4K High Resolution Compact Design 16,000 lm 3-Chip DLP™ Laser Projector

The PT-RQ18K is 40% smaller and 35% lighter than its predecessor and only a little larger than a typical 10,000 lm class 1-Chip DLP™ projector, unlocking time-saving workflow efficiencies that save resources with transport, handling, and installation, easily managed with a team of two. Explore exciting spatial design possibilities in locations previously too small to fit a 3-Chip DLP™ projector. Innovations such as a miniaturised optical engine and power supply, a high-efficiency cooling system, and revised optical unit materials have resulted in a game-changing design that brings elite 3-Chip DLP™ performance to events of any scale.

Note	1 This is the value when the Zoom Lens (Model No.: ET-D3LES20) is used with power supply voltage of AC 200 V to AC 240 V. The value varies depending on the lens. 2 Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. 3 Average light-output value of all shipped products measured at center of screen in NORMAL Mode. 4 Around this time, light output will have decreased by approximately 50 %. IEC62087: 2008 Broadcast contents, NORMAL Mode, Dynamic Contrast [3], under conditions with 35 °C (95 °F), 700 m (2,297 ft) above sea level, and 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter. Estimated time until light output decreases to 50 % will vary depending on environment. 5 4K signals are converted to WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixels) only for the PT-RZ24K and PT-RZ17K. 6 Maximum value of light output is further decreased in the following cases: when a function board is installed in the slot, when the light source is deteriorating from use, or when there is dust on the optical parts. 7 Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. On-mode power consumption measured at 25 °C (77 °F) operating temperature at an altitude of 700 m (2,297 ft). 8 Average value. May differ depending on the actual unit. *9 When optional AJ-WM50 Series wireless module is attached, operating temperature range becomes 0–40 °C (32–104 °F). The operating environment temperature should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) if the projector is used at an altitude between 1,400 m (4,593 ft) and 4,200 m (13,780 ft).
