Compact Design Delivers Up to 5,000 lm
PT-FX500 features 5,000 lm of brightness to produce bright and clear images even with the lights on. Documents with text and graphics are easy to read, while still images and video are reproduced with colorful vibrancy.
Dynamic Contrast of 10,000:1 with Iris
High dynamic contrast of 10,000:1 is enabled by an iris mechanism, so that white appears white and black appears
black (not dark gray) with minimal loss in detail. The result is clear and comfortable viewing.
XGA Resolution Capability
With up to XGA (1,024 x 768) resolution, the PT FX500 projector is perfect for powerpoint, documents and photography.
Image Optimization for Bright Ambient Light
Panasonic’s original Daylight View Basic uses a built-in sensor to measure ambient light and calibrate image projection to suit, optimizing brightness and halftone color and sharpening details for easy-to-see pictures in well-lit rooms.
DICOM Simulation Mode for Medical Presentations
Panasonic laser light is no more harmful to eyesight than a regular lamp-based projector, as a diffusing lens reduces beam energy concentration. Accidental direct exposure to will not result in damage to eyesight.
Long Lamp Replacement Cycle
PT-FX500 projectors extend lamp replacement to 8,000 hours (with lamp power set to Eco) or 6,000 hours (lamp power set to Normal), significantly reducing operating costs, labor, and environmental impact.
Dustproof Cabinet with Dual-Layer Eco Filter
If dust gets inside the projector’s optical unit, brightness suffers. The PT-FX500 protects against dust intrusion with a one-way airflow path and improved sealing for the lens block, air intake duct, and dual-layer Eco Filter. This pleated, dual-layer electrostatic filter captures the tiniest dust particles and requires no maintenance for 16,000 hours. It also can be washed and reused. These dustproof projectors are specifically designed to maintain brightness for longer in high-traffic environments while reducing the cost of servicing.
ECO Management Slashes Power Consumption
A variety of Eco Management functions are accessible via a button on the remote controller.
These include brightness optimization for ambient light conditions and lamp power reduction when no input signal is detected.
Wide-Range 1.8x Zoom and Lens Shift
The inclusion of a versatile 1.8x zoom and joystick-operated wide-range lens shift grants flexibility for installation in different rooms and for projection on different screen sizes. To produce a 100-inch-diagonal wide-screen image, projection distance extends from approximately 2.6 m (8.5 ft) to approximately 4.9 m (16.1 ft).
Installation Simplified with DIGITAL LINK
The inclusion of a versatile 1.8x zoom and joystick-operated wide-range lens shift grants flexibility for installation in different rooms and for projection on different screen sizes. To produce a 100-inch-diagonal wide-screen image, projection distance extends from approximately 2.6 m (8.5 ft) to approximately 4.9 m (16.1 ft).
Project onto Curved Surface
Horizontal, vertical, and corner keystone correction adjusts the image shape for clear visibility when projecting off-axis or from an unusual angle. Curved Screen Correction allows for the projection of natural, distortion-free images onto curved or cylindrical surfaces.
Project Wirelessly with Optional Module
The optional ET-WML100 wireless USB module enables projection of a variety of media via Windows® PCs, iOS devices, or Android devices loaded with an appropriate app. Whether projecting from desk or ceiling, there’s no need for cables—and it’s also possible to display content from more than one device at a time in Multi-Live Mode.
Integrates into Existing AV Infrastructure
With support for PJLink™ Class 1, Crestron Connected, AMX, and RS-232C over wired LAN, any legacy unit can be swapped out for a projector without disrupting existing control and management infrastructure.
Emulation via RS-232C allows original settings to be preserved. In addition, Multi Monitoring and Control Software is available for monitoring and controlling multiple Panasonic projectors from a single PC.
Multi Monitoring & Control Software
This software lets you control and monitor multiple projectors/displays at the same time over wired LAN. If a problem occurs, an alert is sent to the monitoring/controlling PC. Terminal panel is LED illuminated and control panel buttons backlit for easy operation in the dark.
