PT-DW17KE

Incredible 17,000 lm of brightness

Panasonic&s unique quad-lamp system, with its new high-power UHM lamps, has helped to make the body extremely compact while providing an astounding 17,000 lm of brightness.

Dynamic Iris for a high 10,000:1 contrast ratio

Panasonic&s Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a remarkable 10,000:1*1 contrast without lowering its high brightness. This helps to reproduce deeper, richer blacks, and provides images with more detailed textures.

Detail Clarity Processor 3 gives natural clarity to even the finest details

This unique Panasonic circuit optimizes the sharpness of each image, based on the super-high-, high-, medium-, and low-frequency components of the extracted image information. The resulting images have more natural, lifelike expression.

System Daylight View 2 for enhanced color perception

This unique Panasonic technology optimizes image quality to improve the color perception of the projected image in bright rooms.
With a brightness of 17,000 lm, it provides highly comfortable viewing even in bright lighting, and allows viewers to concentrate easily on the images.

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.

Advanced technologies for excellent image quality

• 3D color management system
• Full 10-bit image processing
• Progressive cinema scan (3:2 pulldown)
• Dynamic sharpness control
• Digital noise reduction
• IP conversion
• AI scene control
• 2:2 pulldown mode
• sRGB compatibility
• Fine-adjustable color temperature
• Waveform monitor function

Low TCO and an environmentally friendly design

The PT-DW17 projector lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) because they have a lamp replacement cycle of up to 2,000 hours*3. Their environmentally friendly design also includes a low power consumption of 2,300 W.

Four lamp system enables stable, extended operation

The four-lamp system allows the projector to keep working even if a lamp should fail. The Lamp Relay mode also operates the lamps alternately to enable 24/7 projection. Quad, Triple, Dual and Single Lamp modes can be used.

Easy lamp replacement

For easier maintenance, you can replace the lamp from the rear. This makes it easy to replace a lamp while the projector is still in the mounting bracket or dual stacked.

Liquid cooling system attains a high level of reliability

This new liquid cooling system directly cools the DLP™ chip to improve performance and enable operation up to 45 °C (113 °F)*4. It allows quiet (49 dB) and versatile use while stabilizing performance. It also helps to make the body compact. And the system is hermetically sealed, so you don&t need to replenish the liquid.

Eco filter that needs no maintenance for up to 12,000 hours*5

The Eco Filter has an electrostatic Micro Cut Filter that collects minute dust particles with an ion effect. It combines with the dust-resistant cabinet to enable long-term use even under harsh conditions. Its maintenance cycle of up to 12,000 hours reduces hassle, and the environmental design lets you wash the filter with water and reuse it.*6

Flexible installation

The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal/vertical lens shift function can be easily adjusted with the remote control. The unit can also be rotated 360° vertically, to accommodate various installation conditions. The lens-centered design contributes to easy installation.

Multi unit brightness control

This function automatically corrects the brightness fluctuations that occur over time in the individual projectors of a multi-screen system. Up to eight projectors can be controlled by connecting to each other via a hub, and this can be increased to a maximum of 2,048 projectors by using "Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Software Ver. 2.7."

Multi Screen Support System seamlessly connects multiple screens

The Multi-Screen Support System optimally adjusts multiple screens: Edge blending, color matching.

Edge Blending
The edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their luminance controlled.

Color Matching
This function corrects for slight variations in the color reproduction range of individual projectors.

Multi-Screen Processor
The PT-DW17 can project large, multi-screen images without any additional equipment. Up to 100 units (10 x 10) can be edge-blended at a time.

Multiple terminals

The PT-DW17 has an array of terminals, including DVI-D, HDMI and two RGB inputs.

Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software Ver. 2.7

Panasonic&s original Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Software Ver. 2.7 freeware lets you control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time over a wired LAN. If a problem occurs, an alarm message is sent to the monitoring/controlling PC. The terminal connection area is LED illuminated, and a backlight is provided for the control panel buttons, ensuring smooth and easy operation in the dark.

Other valuable features

• Mechanical lens shutter with fade in/out effect
• P-in-P function*7
• 30 m (98.4 ft) long-range wireless remote control with LED backlight
• ID assignment for up to 64 units
• Control device setup function
• Built-in test pattern
• Selectable 10-language on-screen menu (English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean)
• RoHS Directive compliant
• Effective theft prevention with the Startup Logo*8 and chain opening

Made in Japan

All PT-DW17 projectors are carefully manufactured at the Panasonic factory in Japan, under strict quality control. This is another, very important advantage of a Panasonic projector.

Note:
*1 Full on/off, with dynamic iris set to "3".
*2 This product is not a medical instrument. Do not use it for actual medical diagnosis.
*3 The usage environment affects the lamp replacement cycle.
*4 The operating temperature range is 0 °C to 40 °C (32 °F to 104 °F) when the fan control is set to HIGH ALTITUDE MODE (for altitudes from 1,400 m to 2,700 m (4,593 ft to 8,858 ft) above sea level). When the projector is used with the ET-SFR510 Smoke Cut Filter, the operating temperature range is 0 °C to 35 °C (32 °F to 95 °F), and the projector cannot be used in places at high altitude.
*5 The usage environment affects the filter maintenance cycle.
*6 When washing with water, please follow the procedures listed in the operating instructions. Also, we recommend replacing the filter with a new one after it has been washed and reused twice. If the filter is not sufficiently clean after washing, replace it with a new one.
*7 This function cannot be used with some input signals and selected inputs.
*8 Logo Transfer Software required.
