Efficient light collection uses a multi-reflection system to minimize loss of light-source energy noticeable with conventional systems. It achieves an optimal color balance without sacrificing brightness for realistic and accurate color expression.

Dynamic Contrast NX Realizes a New Dimension of Light and Dark Control

Dynamic Contrast NX, a further evolution of Dynamic Contrast, uses a newly developed video-scene analysis circuit to recognize differences in brightness and darkness more precisely than before.

Environmentally Friendly Energy-Saving Design, from Transport to Maintenance

Light and compact body improves loading efficiency and reduces CO2 emissions associated with transport. In addition, MZ11KL boasts the world’s lowest power consumption of any projector in its class to reduce resources required for daily operation. Laser light source and filter don’t need to be replaced for 20,000 hours, minimizing use of consumable parts and other waste. From transportation to operation and maintenance, the environmentally friendly design reduces labor and costs while supporting CSR, SDGs, and other green initiatives.

Multi-Laser Drive Engine Anticipates Unforeseen Circumstances

Long-Term Stability with Unique Liquid-Cooling System and Dustproof Structure

To achieve high brightness and stable operation, we adopted a liquid-cooling system originally developed for our DLP™ projection systems. This efficient design circulates cooling liquid to the light-source modules directly, preventing temperature increases associated with high-brightness projection. Combined with a highly reliable original dustproof structure, the system enables stable performance even in hot, dusty environments.

Backup Input Function for Enhanced Reliability

Backup Input function enables seamless projection even if the input signal is disrupted. With HDMI 1 set as the primary input and HDMI 2 set as the secondary input, the projector switches to HDMI 2 in as little as 0.3 seconds if the signal to HDMI 1 is disrupted. This improves reliability and ensures stable operation in environments where video presentation must not be interrupted.

Information Monitor for Changing Settings and Checking Status

Information Monitor is located on the main unit’s control panel and displays information such as temperature, voltage, operating hours, and input signals in real time. If a projector error occurs, the error number and associated details are immediately reported. The status of the main unit can be easily checked, and quick recovery from trouble is made possible.

Simplified Installation Streamlines Your Workflow

Up to 20,000 lm on AC 100–240 V Power

This series is the first in the industry to achieve up to 20,000 lm on AC 100–240 V input voltage. Conventional projectors require an AC 200–240 V power supply to project at 20,000 lm1, but this series can project images using an ordinary power outlet. This eliminates need for high-voltage power supply installation, and greatly expands the range of situations in which a 20,000 lm-class projector can be deployed.

Data Cloning Function Now Compatible with USB Memory

Data cloning function allows the user to copy settings and adjustment values from a Main projector to Sub projectors via LAN or USB memory device. This function reduces the time and effort required when setting up multiple projectors.

In addition to being able to control up to 64 devices simultaneously, it also supports lens adjustment, test-pattern switching, and focus adjustment using your device’s camera from a distance of 30 m.

Geometric Adjustment Corrects Trapezoidal Distortion and Curved Screens

With built-in Geometric Adjustment, various distortions on the screen can be corrected via remote control. In addition to trapezoidal distortion resulting from angled projection, Curved Screen Correction fixes distortion caused by projection onto curved surfaces. Corner Correction allows the user to specify four screen corners, such as the upper right and lower right, for correction. Screen proportions can be maintained and corrections can be saved as data.

Free Grid Enables Pinpoint Correction of Local Distortion

In addition to built-in Geometric Adjustment function, Free Grid allows pinpoint correction of local distortion within the screen. Grids between 2 x 2 and 17 x 17 lines can be selected to allow point-by-point correction, or batch correction by specifying vertical and horizontal lines. Correction data is maintained even after changing the number of grids or points, allowing smooth transition from basic to detailed correction. This convenient function allows adjustment of special screens, such as irregular or uneven wall surfaces, with the remote control.

Preactivated Upgrade Kits for Geometry Manager Pro Software

For advanced screen adjustment, features Geometry Manager Pro software which expands built-in functions and enables adjustment from a PC. In addition to the standard functions included in the software, has built-in upgrade kits that allow access to all functions without license activation. PT-MZ11KL Series offers unparalleled smoothness to reduce labor-intensive adjustment with camera-based geometric distortion correction, edge-blending, color-matching, stacking, and automatic adjustment of brightness and black levels.

Black Level Correction to Match Screen Shape

With conventional black level correction, only the width and angle of the black border are specified for correction, making edge-blending on curved screens difficult. To solve this problem, equipped with a function that allows the shape of black borders to be adjusted to match the screen shape. Using up to 17 points, flexible black level correction is possible even on curved screens, enhancing the sense of cohesion in multi-screen applications.

Remote Preview LITE for Remote Confirmation of Images

With Remote Preview LITE, you can check input images in advance even when it’s not possible to project content, such as outdoors during the daytime or during performance rehearsals. When your PC and the projector are connected to the network, you can use a web browser or Multi Monitoring & Control Software to display thumbnail images of the input video. Check content even when the shutter is in use or the projector is in Standby² to quickly identify any problems between the source device and the projector for faster recovery.

Detail Clarity Processor 4

Panasonic Connect’s unique image quality correction circuitry reproduces details more clearly and sharply. It analyzes video signal frequencies in each scene and adjusts for optimal sharpness based on information extracted from the signal. Compared to conventional image processing technology, this system reproduces images with an even more natural and three-dimensional feel.

4K Signal Input

Uncompressed 4K/60p input signals are supported via HDMI^® or DIGITAL LINK. Since no external devices such as converters are required, 4K signals can be processed smoothly. This eliminates the need for re-encoding when the projector is used with other 4K-compatible equipment, making projection with 4K signals simple and efficient.

Lens Lineup is Compatible with AFO (Active Focus Optimizer)

A variety of optional lenses (eight models in total) are available to support a range of screen sizes between 80 and 600 inches, allowing you to select the optimal lens for your projection needs. These lenses are equipped with a temperature sensor and automatically correct focus in conjunction with the projector’s AFO function. This technology maintains a sharp image regardless of the brightness of the content, eliminating need for manual focus adjustment.
