Panasonic PT-DW100 - Manual (Page 2)

Auto Cleaning Robot
Panasonic’s Auto Cleaning Robot automatically cleans the air filter to help
keep the projector running smoothly. When the projector is switched on* 1 ,
the robot uses a brush to clear away any dust adhering to the filter,
helping to prevent clogs that can impair operation or cause malfunctions.
The projector can be used for around 2,000 hours before the filter needs to
be cleaned, making it a good choice for installation in tight spaces or for
ceiling-mounted applications. Also, the Micro-Cut Air Filter traps particles
as small as 10 microns* 2 . This greatly reduces the amount of dust entering
the projector, helping maintain high brightness and stable operation.

* 1 Cleaning time can be set by a timer from
00:00 to 23:50 in 10-minute intervals, or
controlled manually. The cleaning
process is done only once per 24 hours.
When the set time is reached, the
cleaning process will begin if the
projector is on or in cooling mode.

New AC Lamp and Multi-Lamp System
Panasonic’s innovative 4-lamp optical system uses newly developed
300-watt AC lamps to deliver remarkable 10,000-lumen brightness. The
4-lamp system means superb reliability too – the projector keeps working
even if one lamp goes out. 24/7 continuous operation is possible in Lamp
Relay mode.

Liquid Cooling System
This advanced system uses a pump to circulate a cooling liquid behind the
DLP™ chips to absorb heat. This Panasonic’s technology is made possible
by the reflective nature of the DLP™ system, which enables an airtight
chip structure that minimizes image-quality loss due to dust adherence. In
addition, it allows operation within a wide ambient temperature range of
0°C (32°F) to 45°C (113°F)* 3 and reduces operating noise to 43 dB* 4 .
* 3 The operating temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F) when used in High-Altitude mode
(1,400 m [4,593 feet] to 2,700 m [8,858 feet]). Also, if the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C
(104°F) (35°C [95°F] in High-Altitude mode) when using all four lamps, the light output may be
reduced by approximately 30% to protect the projector.
* 4 Average value at time products are shipped from the factory, in accordance with JIS X 6911:2003
data projector specifications. Measurement methods and conditions are based on Article 2 of JIS
X 6911:2003 data projector specifications.
Dynamic Iris
Panasonic’s Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to
achieve a remarkable 5,000:1 contrast at 10,000-lumen brightness. It
helps reproduce deeper, richer blacks and gives images more detailed
textures.
3D Color Management System
Some people like to view large-screen images from relatively close up to
get the maximum viewing impact. But at close range, the colors perceived
by the human eye tend to differ slightly from the original colors. The 3D
Color Management System solves this problem by enabling fine adjustment
of colors so they appear faithful to the originals when projected onto a large
screen.
Full 10-Bit Processing
Use of a full 10-bit picture processing system helps achieve smooth tonal
expression. Complexions and other flesh tones look natural and
true-to-life, with accurate gradation.
Dual Link HD-SDI Signal Support (Optional)
Just add the ET-MD100SD4 expansion board and the projector supports
Dual Link HD-SDI signals. HD-SDI signals use two cables to achieve twice
the color resolution of the conventional single link system.
Progressive Cinema Scan (3/2 pulldown)
This interlace/progressive conversion technology automatically detects
when the input signal is derived from filmed material and selects the
optimum progressive processing method to assure faithful reproduction of
the original image.
Lamp LED Indicator and Self-Diagnosis Function
The projector body is equipped with a temperature alarm LED and a
burnt-lamp alarm LED (for lamps 1 to 4). In the PT-DW100, the LEDs are
visible from both front and top, so you can see it easily even if the unit is
hung from the ceiling. Information on the error is also
given in the on-screen display. A self-diagnosis
function is also provided. Error codes displayed on the
3-digit, 7-segment LED on the side of the projector
tell the operator what the problem is.
Lens Shift
The optical axis can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally by a
remote control, giving you greater setup ease and flexibility.
Multiple Terminals Include DVI-D and LAN Slot
The PT-DW100 comes equipped with DVI-D and LAN (PJ-Link™) slots. It
also features an array of terminals, including two RGB inputs and D-sub
HD 15-pin, a 5-BNC connector, serial in/out, S-video input, two remote
inputs, and one remote out. In addition to offering DVI-D control, the
PT-DW100 is HDCP*-compliant and thus meets a broad range of
projection needs.
* High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection
Flexible Angle Setting
Flexible mounting allows a 360° vertical rotation range*. Dramatic showroom
displays can be achieved by projecting directly downward or upward.
* A special fixture must be attached to the lamp unit when the projector is placed at an angle
within ±45° of the vertical.
* The horizontal range is ±15°.
A Wide Selection of Lenses
Choose from a wide lineup of lenses for your system, including
short-throw, long-throw zoom and fixed-throw lenses for rear projection
use. The additional lenses make it easy to adapt your projector to the
installation site. The lens cover opens completely for easy mounting.
Other Features
• Web browser control • PJLink™ compatibility • Mechanical lens shutter
• Picture in Picture (The Picture in Picture function cannot be used with
some input signals and selected inputs.)
• Anti-theft features with chain opening
• ID assignment for up to 64 units • Built-in test pattern
• Selectable 9-language on-screen menu (English, German, French,
Spanish, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean)
• Edge blending
The edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their luminance
controlled. For example, the adjoining edges in a 2-screen system can be
blended to create a smooth, seamless image.
• Color matching
When several units are used together, this function corrects for slight
variations in the color reproduction range of individual projectors. The PC
software assures easy, accurate control. Independent, 7-axis adjustment
(red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, white) ensures high precision
colors and minimizes color variations.
• Multi-screen processor
The PT-DW100 can project large, multi-screen images without any additional
equipment. Up to 100 units (10 x 10) can be edge-blended at a time.
* Image uniformity over the entire screen may be affected by the type of screen used or the lamp
mode selected. Also, due to differences in the manner in which the lamp brightness decreases
with time, some fluctuation may appear in overall screen brightness. When this occurs, the unit
must be readjusted, which is a service that is offered for a fee.

* The values above are maximum values when all 4 lamps are replaced simultaneously, and when
they are used in cycles of being turned on for 3.5 hours and off for 0.5 hour. When the lamps are
turned on and off more frequently, the lamp replacement cycle is shortened. (It is recommended
that the mechanical shutter be used to turn images off for a short period.)
• Smoke Cut Filter
The optional ET-SFD100 Smoke Cut Filter can
be mounted in place of the Auto Cleaning
Robot’s tray. This optional smoke filter must be
used when using the projector at events where
smoke or fog is dispersed.
