Panasonic PT-REQ12LBU 12,000 Lumens, Laser, 4K (3840 x 2400) Resolu...
Product Overview
The Panasonic PT-REQ12LBU is a 12,000-lumen 1-chip DLP laser projector with 4K Quad Pixel Drive resolution for fixed installation in mid-to-large venues. This filter-free large venue laser projector delivers detailed 4K images and seamless integration from a compact, lightweight 1-chip chassis. Integrators specify the PT-REQ12LBU when a project needs 4K projection and low-maintenance laser reliability without the size and cost of a 3-chip platform.
Product Description
The PT-REQ12LBU pairs a 1-chip DLP engine with Quad Pixel Drive to display 4K (3840 x 2400) content at 12,000 lumens from a SOLID SHINE laser light source, with a filter-less, hermetically sealed optical engine rated for 20,000 hours of 24/7 maintenance-free operation. NFC and preactivated UK20/CUK10 upgrade kits simplify integration, Remote Preview Lite enhances remote monitoring, and Backup Input plus a Multi-Laser Drive Engine add redundancy for live events. It ships without a lens, accepting Panasonic's 1-chip DLP lenses to match throw. Compare the white PT-REQ12LWU, the TAA-compliant PT-REQ12LBUG, or the 10,000-lumen PT-REQ10LBU.
