April 7, 2013

Panasonic System Communications Co. of North America, a provider of professional projector solutions, said its new PT-DZ13K series projectors are the world’s smallest and lightest 12,000 lumen three-chip DLP projectors.

The series, unveiled at the 2013 NAB Show, is useful for a variety of applications, the company said in a news release, including rental and staging and digital signage. it is also well-suited for large venues such as museums, auditoriums and lecture halls, the company said.

"Our customers are constantly asking for projectors that are smaller and brighter than previous models, but with more advanced features, so we've challenged our engineers to meet these needs," Panasonic spokesman Scott Wellington said in the release. "With the PT-DZ13K Series, our engineers have exceeded expectations by delivering the world's smallest and lightest 12,000 lumen 3-chip DLP projectors to date with new highly efficient lamps and by incorporating features normally found in more advanced models."

The new series consists of four models that provide between 10,600 and 12,000 lumens of brightness and a 10,000:1 contrast ratio. Three of the new models offer active 3D projection capabilities. The projectors will be available through authorized Panasonic resellers this month.
