The Panasonic PT-VZ580 portable LCD projectors feature WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200 pixel) resolution to bring native Full HD video to big screens in small spaces. Images are pin-sharp, liquid-smooth, and loaded with detail for an immersive viewing experience.
The PT-VZ580 ranks high in the portable projector category with a high brightness ranging from 5000 lm. Panasonic’s winning formula for imaging brilliance is completed by a high 16,000:1 contrast ratio. Expect deep blacks, pure highlights, and crisp, easy to read text and graphics.
The Panasonic PT-VZ580 has a maximum lamp replacement cycle of 7,000 hours (eco). The air filter also has a replacement cycle of 7,000 hours. This reduces maintenance hassles for long periods of use, and helps to lower maintenance costs and reduce environmental impact.
1.6x Zoom Lens
The projector features a Vertical Lens Shift function that allows you to move the image up or down without distorting the picture. This is useful for quick image corrections in portable applications.
Lens Shift Moves the Image Vertically without Distortion
When projecting onto a 100-inch wide screen, the 1.6x zoom lens lets the PT-VZ580 supports projection distance from 2.35 to 3.8 meters for a 100-inch screen (16:10 aspect ratio).
Optional ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box for Easy Setup
By combining the optional ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box, with its HDMI and other input terminals, uncompressed HD digital video, audio and control signals can be transmitted up to 100 m (328 feet) over a single CAT5e (STP) cable or higher. It allows projector connection with only one cable, making it ideal for ceiling-mounted and other permanent installations.
Also, because control signals can be simultaneously transmitted, the ET-YFB100G input signal can easily be switched with the wireless remote control that is included with the projector. The projector can be controlled by either serial or LAN communication.
Digital Technology
Easy Remote Monitoring and Control over LAN
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 available 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
Daylight View
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.
