To maximize learning and productivity, clear, bright visuals with minimal noise are essential. Panasonic Connect’s projectors are an excellent choice for learning environments, with a projector portfolio perfect for large lecture halls and auditoriums, all the way to portable projectors for smaller classrooms and huddle rooms, offering whisper-quiet operation without sacrificing image quality.
The PT-CMZ50 Ultra-Short Throw LCD Laser Projector delivers exceptionally bright visuals without shadowing. Tailored for educational environments, the PT-CMZ50 projector delivers an expansive 80-inch image from approximately 1cm (1/3 in.), allowing presenters to share information without worrying about on-screen shadows or being blinded by light from the lens. With a shift to bright LED lighting, the PT-CMZ50 projector’s laser light source delivers 5,200lm with 3,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast, while WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution makes the fine text easy to read. And with widescreen content becoming popular, the PT-CMZ50 supports 2560 x 1080 (21:9) and 3240 x 1080 (27:9) input signals, as well as 4K input signals, making it ideal for classrooms or lecture halls using solutions such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams.
Images appear approximately within a second after the projector is powered on, which is accomplished with a CEC command-compatible HDMI signal. An HDMI output is included for connection to a second projector if desired. For simple wireless projection, it works with Panasonic Connect’s PressIT Wireless Presentation System or the AJ-WM50 Series Wireless Module. The PT-CMZ50 projector installs easily from the ceiling or using optional wall mounts, including the new ET-WBC100, a lightweight wall-mount system. Ensuring simple and easy adjustment, image improvements are performed via remote control using Digital Zoom Extender and Image Shift function, while the powered focus feature easily allows for center screen and periphery fine-tuning after installation. The PT-CMZ50 projector’s compact body and whisper-quiet 26 dB operation blend into many education venues, limiting distractions.
For sustainability and reliability, the PT-CMZ50 projector’s new high-efficiency optical engine improves watts-per-lumen efficiency by about 25% over comparable lamp-based short-throw models, while the light source and filter do not require maintenance for 20,000 hours, reducing cost, waste, and labor.
