Illuminate the Spectacular with Smaller, Lighter, and Brighter Laser

The 12,000 lumen¹ PT-RZ120 is a first among 1-Chip DLP™ projectors, incorporating further refinements to our high-quality imaging technology and filterless cooling system, resulting in uncommonly high brightness from a compact body. Expect vibrant, high-contrast pictures and consistent colour uniformity across multiple screens courtesy of 1-Chip DLP™ technology and dual solid-state laser light engines. Hermetically sealed optics contribute to 20,000 hours maintenance-free projection, enhancing installation flexibility in elevated positions such as museums, auditoriums, university halls, and even larger, brighter environments.

¹ Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2012 international standards. Value is average of all products when shipped.

High Quality Imagery

The PT-RZ120 combines outstanding Solid Shine laser technology with 1-Chip DLP™ imaging to produce vivid, accurate and immersive images. The RZ120 offers a high brightness of 12,000lm, WUXGA resolution and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio, while the System Daylight View 3 optimises sharp and vivid images even in bright environments.

Long Lasting Reliability

The RZ120 projector provides accurate white balance and colour reproduction in any projection mode and maintains high picture quality for very long periods. The Detail Clarity Processor 3 image processing circuit clarifies and enhances the finest details of your images, while the dust-resistant cabinet with its airtight optical block also helps reduce maintenance and extends the life of the projector.

Consistently Stable Performance

Get up to 20,000 hours of continuous maintenance-free operation. The dual-drive optical engine with dual phosphor wheels ensures reliable 24/7 operation with light-source failover protection, while the projector’s high-speed backup input switching helps minimise screen blanking during projection. Its efficient cooling system enables stable operation in ambient temperatures of up to 45°C.

Versatile System Adaptability

The PT-RZ120 shares optional lenses with all the Panasonic 1-Chip DLP™ projector family so the same projector can be used in smaller or larger rooms. Its direct Power Off function allows projector shutdown from the mains and it supports Geometry Manager Pro.

Flexible Installation

The flexible installation options of the RZ120 means that the projector can be used in auditoriums and meeting rooms of almost any size. The geometric adjustment enables you to project onto curved or specially shaped screens and its compact body and the 360 degrees free settings mean the projector can be installed and project at whatever angle you prefer.
