Panasonic System Communications Company of North America, a provider of professional projector solutions, today announced the addition of a short-throw model to its SOLID SHINE™ Series line of lamp-free (LED/Laser) projectors.
Depending on light source settings, the new PT-RZ475U can deliver up to 10 years (87,600 hours) of 24/7 operation without the need for lamp or filter maintenance, resulting in low total cost of ownership. The PT-RZ475U delivers excellent HD picture quality with a high contrast ratio of 20,000:1, can be used in portrait mode and has the ability to display 3D images. Ideal for rear projection applications this new projector provides a solution to command and control, simulation and digital signage applications.

This solution reduces cabling costs and complexity and simplifies installation and maintenance. Panasonic’s proprietary Digital Interface Box, the ET-YFB100G ($1,999.00 MSRP) is currently available and can be paired with the PT-RZ475U projector for DIGITAL LINK connection, or the projectors can be used with major AV control manufacturers’ protocols such as Crestron’s Digital Media 8G{, Extron’s XTP Systems, and AMX’s Enova DVX and other manufacturers’ HDBaseT™ variants without the need for an external receiver.
