Product Overview
The Panasonic PT-REQ12LBUG is a 12,000-lumen 1-chip DLP laser projector with 4K Quad Pixel Drive resolution and TAA compliance, built for fixed installation in mid-to-large venues and government facilities. This filter-free large venue laser projector delivers 4K detail and high brightness from a compact 1-chip chassis, and its TAA-compliant build supports federal and public-sector procurement. Integrators specify the PT-REQ12LBUG when a project needs 4K projection, low-maintenance laser operation, and government-compliant sourcing.
Product Description
The PT-REQ12LBUG 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-free design for low-maintenance continuous operation. The "G" model is TAA compliant, making it eligible for U.S. government and other public-sector contracts that require Trade Agreements Act sourcing. It ships without a lens, accepting Panasonic's 1-chip DLP (ET-DLE/ET-C1/ET-EM-series) lenses so integrators can match throw to the room. As part of the REQ family, it supports flexible installation and integrates into commercial AV signal and control systems. Compare the non-TAA PT-REQ12LBU, the TAA-compliant PT-REQ10LBUG, or the standard PT-REQ10LBU.
