Compact, Yet Bright and High Contrast
Even with its light, compact body, the PT-E500E produces brightness of up to 5,000 lm. In addition, the iris automatically adjusts itself to match the situation, resulting in high contrast ratio of 2,000:1.
The Daylight View Basic Function Ensures Clear Images Even in Brightly Lit Rooms
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 color and brightness level according to the surrounding illumination.

Ecology-Conscious Reliability
A Dust-Resistant Cabinet Design and an Eco Filter that Needs No Replacement for 12,000 Hours*3
The cabinet is designed with a straight airflow path, from intake to exhaust. The shielding of the lens section, where dust is likely to enter, has been further improved to keep dust out. And the sealing performance of the air filter unit and air intake duct has been increased to prevent the entry of dust from the filter periphery, resulting in a highly dust-resistant structure. The Eco Filter unit, which efficiently captures dust in the intake airflow path, requires no replacement for 12,000 hours*3. And the large, pleated Micro Cut Filter (electrostatic filter) uses an ion effect to trap minute dust particles, further raising the overall dust-trapping capability. These features minimize the entry of dust into the optical block and maintain brightness over a long period of time, while reducing the hassle of maintenance. Also, in addition to achieving a long replacement cycle, the Eco Filter can be washed with water*4 and reused as an environmental consideration.
Inorganic Materials Maintain Image Quality Longer
The PT-EX500E projectors’ optical block maintains a high level of performance over time, due to the use of inorganic materials in the LCD panels and polarizers, thus achieving a replacement cycle of 10,000 hours. It also makes them the logical choice for a truly dependable LCD projector system.
Lamp Replacement Cycle of up to 4,000 Hours*5
The PTEX500e Series projectors feature a lamp replacement cycle of up to 4,000 hours. This helps to lower operating costs by providing longer usage between lamp replacements.
Environmentally Friendly Standby
Power Consumption of Only 0.4 W*6 When the Standby mode is set to Eco, the standby power consumption is low at 0.4 W. This lowers running costs, and helps to reduce environmental impact
Intelligent Lamp Control System Reduces Power Consumption
When the lamp power is set to Auto, the intelligent lamp control system automatically adjusts the lamp output in accordance with the brightness of the projected image and reduces it by up to 70 %*7. It also combines with color shift correction, which corrects the shift in the color balance that occurs when the lamp output drops. As a result, power consumption is effectively reduced while excellent color reproduction is maintained

Corner Keystone Correction* Enables Angled Projection
All you need to do is designate four points as the corners of the projected image, and this function automatically carries out horizontal and vertical keystone correction.
Web Browser Control/Monitoring and E-mail Message Alert
The PT-EX500e can be easily operated remotely over a LAN network, because it is all done using the computer’s familiar web browser. Furthermore, the projector sends an e-mail message to notify the operator when an error has occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced.
Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Software
Panasonic’s original freeware, “Multi Projector Monitoring& Control Software,” allows the user to control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time via LAN. Projectors can be scheduled to turn on and off at a certain hour everyday. When a problem occurs, an alarm message is sent to the monitoring/controlling PC.
PJLink™ Compatibility
The LAN terminals support PJLink™ Class 1 connection, which is highly convenient for system construction.
Crestron RoomView™ Compatibility
The LAN terminal allows a computer connected to the network to use Crestron RoomView™ application software to manage and control system devices.
Abundant Terminals Including HDMI and DVI-D Inputs
Extensive interfaces include HDMI and DVI-D input terminals, two sets of computer (RGB) input terminals, and a serial (RS-232C) terminal for external control. It is also possible to output audio during Standby mode. This is convenient when connecting an external audio system through the projector.
Built-in 10-W Speaker
The PT-EX500 projectors feature a high-output 10-watt monaural speaker that produces a large sound volume without requiring external speakers.
Quiet 31-dB*8 Design Does Not Interrupt Meetings or Classes
The quiet design keeps noise levels down to 31-dB, so the sound of the cooling fan is hardly noticeable. This helps the audience to keep their attention on the speech when someone is giving a presentation or on the screen images during quiet scenes.
Effective Theft Prevention with the Startup Logo
You can change the default Panasonic start up logo to your desired logo. A new logo can be easily uploaded by connecting a computer to the PT-Ex500 projector through the LAN or serial connection by using the Logo Transfer Software*. An abundance of other security measures are also included, such as a security bar, a user password and a control panel lock.
Easy Lamp and Air Filter Replacement
For easy maintenance, you can replace the filter from the side and the lamp from the top of the projector. The filter and lamp are easily replaced even after the projector is installed on the ceiling.
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.
