World’s Smallest, Lightest, and Quietest 20,000 lm* LCD Projector

Introducing the smallest, lightest, and quietest LCD laser projector in its class with up to 20,000 lm* , compact 23 kg*2 (50.7 lbs) body, and quiet 42 dB*3 operation. Optimized optical engine delivers a 25 % increase in brightness over the 16,000 lm*4 PT-MZ16KL from the same body size, ensuring clear visibility in well-lit spaces.
PT-MZ20KL Series achieves the world’s quietest1 operation at 42 dB. Not only does it keep participants focused, it also contributes to an improved sound environment for applications such as hybrid conferences. When a quieter environment is required, noise level can be further reduced to
36 dB by setting the projector to QUIET Mode. This helps create an environment where all viewers can concentrate on the presentation.

Pure White Generator Delivers High Brightness and Rich Color

Pure White Generator, developed by Panasonic Connect, contributes to rich color reproduction at high brightness of up to 20,000 lm1. 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, MZ20KL 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

Multi-Laser Drive Engine ensures stable projection even if light-source problems occur. The projector is equipped with multiple modules consisting of many laser diodes, and in the unlikely event one of the elements malfunctions, Panasonic Connect’s unique Failover Circuitry is activated so that projection can continue with virtually no reduction in brightness. This allows the projector to be used with peace of mind in situations where a drop in brightness could affect important presentations, such as large-scale lectures and seminars.

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.
