The dual-lamp projector outputs 7,000 lumens at WUXGA resolution and introduces a host of premium features, normally reserved for flagship large-venue projectors.
Digital Link
DIGITAL LINK is an original function added to HDBaseT™ technology. Equipped with a DIGITAL LINK terminal, the PTDZ780 projector allows transmission of HDMI, uncompressed HD digital video, and control signals (Ethernet, RS-232C) for up to 150 m* (492 ft*) through a single CAT5e (STP) cable or higher. This simplifies cabling and system upgrades, making it ideal for ceiling-mounted and other permanent installations.
Optional ET-YFB200G DIGITAL LINK Switcher and ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box for Easy Setup
Used together with the new ET-YFB200G DIGITAL LINK Switcher featuring two DIGITAL LINK outputs and high-speed input switching, the Digital Interface Box, or other compatible equipment,** the installation of this projector is easier than ever, without any need for external receivers. The input signal can also be easily switched*** from control panel or the ET-YFB200G/YFB100G or remote control of the projector to enable attractive presentations or lessons using multimedia content. The projector can be controlled by either serial or LAN communication
Liquid Cooling System
Panasonic's unique liquid cooling system directly cools the DLP™ chip to improve performance and enable operation up to 45°C (113°F). This allows use in a wider variety of environments, while stabilizing performance and keeping the unit quiet even in harsh conditions. It also contributes to realizing the compact body. Plus, Panasonic’s liquid cooling system is hermetically sealed, so you don’t need to replenish the liquid
Long Lasting Lamp Life for up to 12000 Hours (in single eco mode)
The PT-DZ780 projectors employ newly developed high-power 310 W lamps that have a long replacement cycle of up to 4,000 hours* to help lower the total cost of ownership.
Dual lamps and Relay Mode
Enables continuous 24-hour operation while ensuring uninterrupted playback in the event of lamp failure and, for the first time at this level, high-end System Daylight View 2 joins Panasonic’s proven Dynamic RGB Booster and Detail Clarity Processor technologies to ensure vivid colour reproduction, exceptional detail, and high brightness, even in well-lit spaces.
Flexible Installation with Powered Lens Shift/Zoom/Focus
The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal/vertical lens shift function assures convenience and versatility during installation. It lets you easily make adjustments with the remote control. The unit can also be rotated 360 degrees vertically. This means you can install it at any angle you want, to accommodate different installation conditions.
Geometric Adjustments for Specially Shaped Screens
This function adjusts the image for projection onto spherical, cylindrical and other specially shaped screens. You can make the adjustment easily using only the remote control, with no external equipment needed. 4-Corner Adjustment and Keep Aspect Off functions also simplify fine adjustment.
Geometry Manager Pro
The Geometry Manager Pro software offers a more flexible and complex geometric adjustment capability, and supports color matching and edge blending for multi-screen projection. It also makes adjustments for multiple projectors fast and easy over a network. Also, a computer can be used* to operate the geometric adjustment, and up to three sets of adjustments can be stored.
Optional Upgrade Kit (ET-UK20) Featuring Geometry Manager Pro
Applying this kit to Geometry Manager Pro software enables creative masking using four lines and/or bitmap data, uniformity correction, and other useful functions.
Optional ET-CUK10 Auto Screen Adjustment Upgrade Kit
This plug-in software for Geometry Manager Pro sets up multiple projectors automatically and simultaneously, greatly saving installation time and costs. It takes only three quick and simple steps. By using a camera** together with a PC connected to the projectors via a network, this software calibrates and adjusts multi-screen or curved-screen projection. Adjustments include geometric adjustment, edge blending, color matching, stacking, brightness, and black level.
Multi Screen Support System
The Multi-Screen Support System optimally adjusts multiple screens: Edge blending, Color matching and Digital image enlarging.
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.
Digital Image Enlarging
The PT-DZ780 features a digital zoom function that allows images to be enlarged up to 10 times (horizontally and vertically).* Up to 100 units (10 x 10) can be edge-blended at a time to create large, multi-screen images.
