Product Overview
The Panasonic PT-RQ35KU is a 30,500-lumen 3DLP laser projector with 4K Quad Pixel Drive resolution, built for large-venue fixed installation and high-end rental and staging. It packs flagship brightness and an expanded color gamut into a body roughly 60% the size of the previous-generation PT-RQ32K, making this large venue laser projector easier to transport, rig, and conceal. Integrators choose the PT-RQ35KU when an installation needs 4K detail, high output, and filter-free reliability without stepping up to a 50,000-lumen chassis.
Product Description
The PT-RQ35KU uses a three-chip DLP engine with Quad Pixel Drive to display 4K (3840 x 2400) content, driven by a dual-blue plus red laser module that expands the color space by roughly 114% over the PT-RQ32K for vivid reds and accurate blues. A filter-free liquid cooling system pairs a finless radiator with hermetically sealed DMDs, and Dynamic Digital Control independently cools the red laser to hold output stable as ambient temperature shifts. Failover circuitry, backup input, and an approximately 20,000-hour maintenance-free design make it dependable for live events and continuous commercial deployment. Smart Projector Control with NFC lets technicians configure network settings such as IP addressing from a mobile device, and preactivated Geometry Manager Pro upgrade kits streamline edge blending and projection mapping. The projector ships without a lens, so specify a Panasonic ET-D3LE-series lens to match your throw. Step up to the PT-RQ50KU for higher output, compare the WUXGA PT-RZ34KU, or scale down to the PT-RQ25KU.
Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the PT-RQ35KU include a lens? No. It is a no-lens model that uses Panasonic ET-D3LE-series lenses. Choose the lens by throw ratio for your screen size and projector position before installation.
Is it true 4K? The PT-RQ35KU uses Quad Pixel Drive on WUXGA DLP chips to display 4K (3840 x 2400) content. It delivers 4K on-screen detail; confirm the imaging approach with your AV designer if native-4K chips are a hard requirement, and consider the PT-RQ50KU for native 4096 x 2160.
How does it integrate into an AV system? HDMI and USB inputs handle direct sources and PC-free playback, while Smart Projector Control with NFC enables mobile network setup. Confirm the full terminal complement and any optional interface boards needed for SDI or DIGITAL LINK signal paths.
What maintenance does it need? The filter-free liquid cooling system and sealed DMDs are designed for roughly 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, reducing service visits in permanent installations.
What about warranty and support? The projector carries Panasonic's commercial projector warranty and ProVideo service support. Creation Networks can help with extended warranty, lens selection, and integration planning.
