June 19, 2012 - ProAV News, rAVe [PUBS],

Panasonic announced at InfoComm its new PT-VW431DU, a 4,300-lumen, WXGA (1280×800) resolution compact body projector. Based on Valens HDBaseT technology, Panasonic’s Digital Link is embedded in the PT-VW431DU, allowing a single cable to transmit uncompressed videos signals, audio, and control commands up to 100 meters (328 feet). The need for an external receiver is eliminated when the PT-VW431DU is used together with Panasonic’s new ET-YFB100 switcher box or other switchers with HDBaseT chipset.

Panasonic says the PT-VW431DU offers high brightness of 4,300 lumens and a high contrast ratio of 3,500:1. It also has an ambient light sensor (which the company calls its Daylight View Basic technology) and adjusts the brightness based on the surrounding lighting conditions.

The PT-VW431DU features a vertical lens shift function, which moves the image position +48% vertically without distorting the image. The device also offers a 1.6x manual zoom lens, allowing a wide range of projections, from 2.5m (8.2ft) to 4.1m (13.5ft) to project a 100” diagonal image. To reduce maintenance costs, the projector is equipped with a pleated micro cut filter, which delivers of up to 4,000 hours of service.

Other useful features include HDMI input terminal, remote monitoring and control over a LAN, Extron’s GlobalViewer® and Crestron’s Connected capability, direct power off and built-in 10-watt speaker for effective presentations.

The PT-VW431DU will ship in October. For more information, click here: http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/infocomm2012/vw431d/index.html
