The newly-formed Panasonic Projector Systems Company introduced two new projectors for large venues. The PT-D10000U (specified at 1400 x 1050 resolution) and PT-DW10000U (1920 x 1080) models target commercial digital cinema, rental and staging, and higher education.

Both these three-chip DLP projectors are specified at 10,000 lumens, 5000:1 contrast ratio with 10-bit video processing. They also have an Auto Cleaning Robot, an automatic filter cleaning system for extending the times between filter maintenance.

The PT-D10000U and PT-DW10000U use a new liquid-cooling system that directly cools the DLP chips and allows them to be used in temperatures up to 45°C (113°F). The projectors have built-in multi-screen support so they can project large, multi-screen images with edge blending, without any additional equipment. The result is a seamless image using up to 100 sources (10 ft. x 10 ft.).

Both models are networkable with wired LAN. They are basically identical, except for the PT-DW10000U’s higher resolution.

The PT-D10000U and PT-DW10000U projectors will be available in the first quarter for MSRPs of $54,999, and $74,999.
