Quad Pixel Drive Goes Beyond 4K
The PT-RQ13K achieves better-than-4K resolution by employing a high-speed 2560 x 1600-pixel (WQXGA) DMD chip that shifts each pixel vertically and horizontally, effectively quadrupling the pixel count. Working together with Real Motion Processor 240 Hz frame-creation technology, Quad Pixel Drive pixel-quadrupling technology produces stunningly detailed 5120 x 3200-pixel (4K+, 16:10) images that retain natural sharpness and clarity. As well as producing liquid-smooth and accurate video, the added detail also makes small text clearly legible on images used in presentations and lectures.
Pixel Quadrupling Technology
Shifting pixels vertically and horizontally creates ultra-high-resolution pictures that exceed standard UltraHD.
New Real Motion Processor
Panasonic’s unique high-speed 240 Hz frame-creation technology for up to 5120 x 3200 pixel (16:10) images
ensures the smoothest reproduction of fast-moving 4K+ sequences.
Real Motion Processor for Liquid-Smooth Motion Reproduction
Real Motion Processor uses sophisticated algorithms to create three additional frames for each image, boosting native 60 fps footage to 240 frames per second. The result is incredibly smooth and realistic motion rendering, particularly useful for the broadcast of sporting events and other fast-paced video. Further, images of up to 240 Hz can be displayed with SDI, DVI-D, and HDMI simultaneous inputs. A refined optical engine enhances focus performance for a lifelike sense of resolution, contrast, and fluidity.
Detail Clarity Processor 5+ Clarifies and Enhances Fine Details
Panasonic’s new generation circuit technology analyzes each individual image frame by frame to clarify areas containing fine details and textures. Powerful algorithms extract hidden information from the super high, high, medium, and low frequency video bands, sharpening outlines, correcting contours, and reducing ringing noise to improve the sense of resolution. The PTRQ13K adds an exclusive Refine Enhancer algorithm designed to clean and enhance the finest details contained in 4K+ images.
Dynamic Contrast Function for High 20,000:1 Contrast
The PT-RQ13K projector directly modulates laser power output to enable high contrast while reducing power consumption. Digitally controlled frame-by-frame scene-linking modulation ensures highly precise light output adjustment, and accurate 20,000:1 contrast is achieved even when bright and dark scenes suddenly or frequently interchange. There is also almost no drop in contrast after extended use.
System Daylight View 3 Improves Color Perception
This proprietary technology optimizes image quality to improve color perception of images projected onto walls and other exotic surface materials (ideal for mapping applications) as well as in environments with bright ambient light. Combined with high 10,000 lm brightness, the PT-RQ13K delivers clear and comfortable viewing in the most challenging applications.
Dual-Drive Laser Optical Engine uses two discrete light sources grouping laser diodes into modules. A laser light source redundancy circuit ensures minimal reduction in brightness and color uniformity in the event of laser diode failure, making the PT RQ13K ideal for applications where maintaining vision is critical. Further, brightness decreases gradually and in a linear rather than exponential fashion (as is common to lamp-based projectors) over its 20,000-hour maintenance-free service life.
Bright and Vivid Picture Quality
Combining 3-Chip DLP™ imaging with Panasonic’s original SOLID SHINE Laser technology, the PT-RQ13K achieves lifelike 4K+ resolution with a high 10,000 lm of brightness. Two powerful solid-state laser light-source modules and three independent DLP™ chips for red, green, and blue ensure outstanding brightness, color accuracy, and contrast.
Heat-resistant phosphor wheel ensures high brightness and excellent reliability for long periods.
Ultra-Durable Laser Optical Engine for Continuous 24-hour Operation
Dual-Drive Laser Optical Engine uses two discrete light sources grouping laser diodes into modules. A laser light source redundancy circuit ensures minimal reduction in brightness and color uniformity in the event of laser diode failure, making the PT-RQ13K ideal for applications where maintaining vision is critical. Further, brightness decreases gradually and in a linear rather than exponential fashion (as is common to lamp-based projectors) over its 20,000-hour* maintenance-free service life.
Safety Guaranteed
Panasonic laser light is no more harmful to eyesight than a regular lamp-based projector, as a diffusing lens reduces the concentration of beam energy. Accidental direct exposure will not result in damage to eyesight.
Dust Proof
The PT-RQ13K has hermetically sealed laser modules, a long-life Eco Filter, and a new air-intake system to extend life and maintain picture quality in dusty locations. SOLID SHINE Laser products exceed rigorous dustproofing requirements for operation in environments containing 0.150 mg of dust per cubic meter*.
Efficient Cooling System Assures Reliable Operation
The PT-RQ13K employs a newly developed direct liquid cooling system for the laser light source that features a redesigned air intake and a solid aluminum heat sink to suppress temperature rises. This allows stable operation in ambient temperatures of up to 45 °C (113 °F)* while reducing operating noise to just 46 dB.
Eco Filter Extends Replacement Cycle to 20,000 Hours
The Eco Filter includes an electrostatic Micro Cut Filter that collects minute dust particles with an ion effect. It joins with a dust-resistant cabinet to enable long-term use even in punishing conditions. A long maintenance cycle of up to 20,000 hours*1 reduces hassle, while the eco-friendly washable filter*2 can be reused to reduce cost and waste.
Selectable Operational Modes Maintain Image Quality Longer
Approx. 20,000 Hours of Continuous Operation (Normal Mode)
In Normal Mode with a maximum 10,000 lm brightness, PT-RQ13K can operate continuously for approximately 20,000 hours*1. In Eco Mode at 8,000 lm, this is extended to approximately 24,000 hours*1 of continuous operation. These modes are ideal for education or signage applications
Up to 10 Years Operation with Constant Brightness Modes
In environments where very high brightness is not necessary, such as surveillance, control, and simulation rooms, constant operation modes extend light source replacement to up to 87,600 hours*2 in Long Life 3 Mode—about 10 years of 24/7 projection—with consistent brightness and color.
User Operating Mode
In addition to preset operating modes, the PT-RQ13K can be customized to achieve your preferred balance of brightness or extended life. Brightness can be set from 1,900 to 10,000 lm or the lifetime set to a maximum of 10 years.
