PT-DW530E

RGB Booster significantly improves colour reproduction

The RGB Booster achieves high image quality with levels of colour reproduction and brightness that make each colour stand out. It combines Panasonic's proprietary Vivid Colour Control technology with a Lamp Modulation Drive System for a 1-chip DLP™ projector that produces bright and vivid colours.

Vivid Colour Control
This unique control technology optimises the use of the colour segment areas of the colour wheel. It increases the brightness of each RGB colour by minimising the unallocated portions between the colours, to achieve truly vivid colouring.

Lamp Modulation Drive System
With the advanced lamp modulation technology, the projector is now able to control the lamp intensity for each of the red, green, blue and white segments of the colour wheel separately. Because the actual light output is controlled in relation to each colour segment, light usage is optimised and colour balance is obtained without lowering the brightness. This results in bright, vivid images with increased colour fidelity.

A full 4,000 Lumens of brightness and contrast of 2000:1

The 300-watt AC lamp unit features an efficient light focusing reflector. Using only a single lamp unit, the PT-DW530 offer 4,000 Lumens. It also boasts a high contrast ratio of 2,000:1.

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 ultra high, high, medium and low-range frequencies. This unique Panasonic image correction 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.

Daylight View Premium for better colour perception*1

This function corrects the image quality to project sharp, clear images even in brightly lit rooms. A luminance sensor measures the ambient brightness, and a realtime adjustment function optimizes sharpness and brightness according to the surroundings. This adjustment function also works together with the Detail Clarity Processor 3 to enhance the realism and vividness of projected images. This makes images easier to view and offers high contrast.

DICOM simulation mode*2

This imaging mode is similar to DICOM Part 14, which is a medical imaging standard. It reproduces 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.

REC. 709 mode for HDTV projection

Optimal colour reproduction can be achieved by selecting this mode, compliant with ITU-R Recommendation BT.709, when images from an HDTV source are projected.

Newly designed original cooling system

The cooling system is newly designed to optimize the airflow inside the unit. As a result, it offers better cooling efficiency and allows the projector to be used in ambient temperatures up to 45°C (113°F).*3

Lamp and air filter replacement cycle of 2,000 hours*4

The new cooling system combines with a dust-resistant design based on a sealed optical block to achieve a lamp and lamp air filter replacement cycle of 2,000 hours.*4 This greatly reduces maintenance hassles.

Easy lamp replacement

For easier maintenance, you can replace the lamp from the rear. The lamp is easily replaced even after the projector is installed on the ceiling.

Quiet 29 dB*5 operation

An original cooling system enhances the compact body and enables the projector to operate at a quiet 29 dB.*

Network function

Web Browser Control over a Wired LAN
The PT-DW530 can be easily operated remotely over a LAN, because it is done using the computer's Web browser. Furthermore, the projector sends an email message to notify the operator when an error has occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced.

PJLink™ Compatibility
The LAN terminals support PJLink™ class 1 connection. Control with the same specifications is also possible when used in a multi-projector system with projectors of another brand.

Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software Ver. 2
Panasonic's original freeware "Multi Projector Monitoring and 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 monitoring/controlling PC.

Installation/operation flexibility

In new installations, the horizontal/vertical lens shift lets you accommodate a wide range of room sizes and shapes. And when replacing existing projectors, the 2x zoom greatly enhances your ease of installation and can reduce costs by permitting the use of existing mounting positions and cablings.

Flexible angle setting

The unit can be rotated 360° vertically. This means you can install it at any up-and-down angle you wish to accommodate different installation conditions.

Lens centred design

A lens centred, symmetrical design provides ease of installation, eliminating the need for any special considerations when planning the installation site.

Multiple terminals

Interfaces include a DVI-D and HDMI inputs. The serial terminal (RS-232C) has an Emulate function that lets you continue using existing control systems when replacing a previous Panasonic model. It is also possible to output audio during Standby mode. This is convenient when connecting an external audio system through the projector.

Side by side functions

The PT-DW530 can simultaneously display images from two sources onto a single screen. For example, you can display a PC image on the left and a video image on the right. Taking advantage of the wide-screen projection, this function gives you a host of new application possibilities to explore.

Easy wireless projection from multiple PCs (optional)

The optional Wireless Module ET-WM200 allows the PT-DW530 to operate wireless projection for a smooth, hassle-free presentation. You can make the settings for wireless connection quickly and easily using Wireless Manager ME 5.5 software. When the presentation is finished, Wireless Manager restores the PC to its previous LAN settings, so the PC is ready to reconnect to your LAN. Functions include Live mode and Multi-Live mode. In Live mode, the image projected is identical to the image seen on the PC screen. In Multi-Live mode, you can wirelessly connect with multiple PCs.

Wireless transmission also possible*6 from an iPad or iPhone (option*7)

Panasonic Wireless Projector for iOS is an iOS application that lets you send PDF files and JPEG images from an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch over a wireless connection. JPEG images saved onto an iPad, iPhone or iPod touch, and PDF files transferred to the Panasonic Wireless Projector for iOS application via iTunes can be sent. Easy touch screen operation also lets you rotate, enlarge, or reduce images (using a pinch operation), and flip through pages (using a flick operation). Now you can give the kind of smart presentations that are simply not possible with conventional projectors. Panasonic Wireless Projector for iOS can be downloaded for free from the App Store. For operating details, see the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch Application Guide.

Eco management functions

A number of functions are provided to reduce power consumption. They adjust the brightness according to the ambient light conditions and reduce the lamp power when there is no signal input or the projector is in the AV Mute mode.

Easy to use wireless remote control with a maximum operating range of 15m

Two signal transmission ports are provided, extending the remote control operating range to a maximum of 15m for use in large conference rooms and classrooms. Function buttons are also provided to allow the setting of up to three frequently used functions of your choice.

Direct power off

The cooling fan continues to operate even when the main power switch is turned off after projection 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 mounted 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.
