Panasonic's PT-EW640U WXGA 3LCD Projector is flexible and powerful enough to thrive in a variety of working conditions. With a brightness of 5800 Lumens and a contrast ratio of 5000:1, the PT-EW640U uses a single lamp and efficient focusing reflector to minimize consumption to only 495W. It has a widescreen aspect ratio and WXGA resolution of 1280 x 800 that are complimented by an increased functionality and a variety of features.
The PT-EW640U enjoys multiple input terminals, which enhance flexibility. There are HDMI and DVI-D inputs, as well as composite, RCA and S-video inputs. For network connection, the PT-EW640U has an RS-232 and RJ-45 terminal.
It's designed to afford multiple uses and solutions for the classroom and the boardroom.
The projector's lamp and filter life cycle reduces maintenance hassle and ensures low TCO with a maximum lamp replacement cycle of up to 4500 hours (Eco Mode) and long filter life of up to 17,000 hours.
Other features include a 10W integrated speaker, a 29 dB noise level in Eco Mode, Side-by-Side projection and Picture-in-Picture projection. All of the various low-maintenance features result in a low total cost of ownership. The filter is easily replaced from the side and the lamp from the top.
The projector ships with a standard lens.
- Easy Multi-Source Viewing with Side-by-Side and P-in-P Modes
- Two different image sources can be simultaneously displayed on a single screen. You can also switch to P-in-P mode and display a sub-window on the main screen. The sub-window can be positioned in any corner of the screen to expand the usable area
- Contrast Performance with Iris
- Expect dazzling highlights and inky blacks with a high contrast ratio of 5000:1 assisted by an iris, which alters brightness according to the scene or image
- WXGA Resolution
- With a native WXGA 1280 x 800 widescreen resolution, the projector is capable of displaying HD video from Blu-ray disc and other sources
- DICOM Simulation Mode
- The projector is compatible with DICOM standards for presentations relating to medicine. DICOM Simulation Mode reproduces complex images, such as X-rays, with high levels of detail and contrast
- Color Adjustment Function
- A color adjustment function allows you to easily correct for slight variations in the color reproduction range of individual units set up for multiple projection, particularly in side-by-side configuration. Correction can be performed on three colors or seven colors
- Daylight View Basic Technology
- Panasonic's Daylight View Basic technology resolves hidden details in dark images that are normally difficult to see in bright conditions. Using an ambient light sensor, Daylight View Basic adjusts halftone color and brightness to suit the room. Resulting images are clear, bright, and easy to see
- Lamp Replacement Cycle of up to 4500 Hours
- The projector has a recommended lamp replacement cycle of up to 4500 hours, delivering considerable savings over the life of the product
- Intelligent Lamp Control Reduces Power Consumption
- When in Auto Mode, Intelligent Lamp Control manages lamp output levels in real time, reducing power by up to 27% when maximum output is not needed (in darker scenes, for example). Shift correction technology preserves the optimal color balance as lamp output fluctuates
- Long-Life Eco Filter and Dust-Resistant Cabinet
- The projector is resistant to dust, with maintenance extended to an impressive 17,000 hours for the Eco Filter (which may be washed and reused). Extensive optical shielding and sealing, a straight airflow path, and improved filter sealing add up to an essentially dust-free design that keeps images brighter for a longer duration
- Horizontal/Vertical and Corner Keystone Correction
- All you need to do is designate four points as the corners of the projected image, and this function will automatically perform horizontal and vertical keystone correction
- Connect Multiple Devices Using a Single Cable
- An optional digital interface box is available to connect multiple source devices (such as Blu-ray disc players, computers, document cameras, etc.) to the projector via a single DIGITAL LINK CAT5e cable using its abundant input connections. This AV routing hub is server-rack mountable and simplifies installation
- Powered Lens Shift, Zoom, and Focus
- The projector has powered vertical and horizontal lens shift, zoom, and focus capabilities, allowing you full control of picture adjustment via remote control
- Simplified DIGITAL LINK Connections
- Developed using HDBaseT technology, the included DIGITAL LINK connection routes uncompressed Full HD video and Ethernet/RS-232C control commands through a single cable for distances of up to 328'. This simplifies installation (especially when the projector is incorporated into an existing network or control system) while saving money on cable costs
- 29 dB Won't Interrupt Lectures or Meetings
- The projector keeps noise levels down to 29 dB in Eco Mode with the sound of the cooling fan hardly noticeable. This helps to keep attention focused on the presenter's speech, and minimizes distractions during quiet moments
- DisplayPort for PC and Macintosh
- The projector includes a DisplayPort terminal capable of carrying silky-smooth 1080p video at 50/60 Hz from compatible personal computers to your projector
- Compatible with Leading Control Systems
- The projector can plug right into an existing projection system controlled by Crestron Connected, PJ-Link Class 1, and AMX software. Panasonic's Multi-Projector and Monitoring Software is also available to enable easy control of multiple projectors from a single PC
- Emulation Function Makes Replacement Easy
- When replacing a legacy Panasonic projector, the RS-232C serial terminal included on the projector allows you to continue to use the existing control commands
