Panasonic employs a number of advanced technologies — including a proprietary lamp drive system — that help maintain lamp performance . This has resulted in a 5,000-hour lamp replacement cycle. It helps saving operating cost by providing longer usage between lamp replacements.
Momentary power outages or voltage drops can cause the projector to shut down, interrupting the projection. The PT-LB1 equipped with the Intelligent Power Management function controls the power supply to cope with power fluctuations, to enable continued projection.
Panasonic's Daylight View Basic technology achieves sharp, easy-to-see images by clearly reproducing the details in dark image areas, which were previously difficult to see in brightly lit rooms. A built-in sensor measures the ambient light, and the Daylight View Basic function adjusts the halftone colour and brightness level according to the surrounding illumination.
The compact body is the size of an A4 file and weighs only about 2.3 kg, while producing a brightness of 2,200 lm. Its handy size and weight make it easy to carry from room to room, or to a client's office for an on-site presentation. It gives you sharp, clear images wherever and whenever you need them.
A Web browser on a computer connected through a wired LAN system lets you remotely operate projectors and check their status. An e-mail messaging function can also notify you when a lamp needs replacement, and indicate the overall projector status. In addition, Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software is included for monitoring and controlling multiple Panasonic projectors from a single PC. The wired LAN terminal is compatible with PJLink™ (Class1), an open protocol that is used by many manufacturers, to enable integrated control of systems that contain different brands of projectors.
