Panasonic PT-VMZ62BU8 6500-Lumen WUXGA Laser 3LCD Projector, Black

Product Overview

The Panasonic PT-VMZ62BU8 is a 6,500-lumen WUXGA laser projector built for bright, lights-on commercial rooms. Its 3LCD engine, 1.6x optical zoom, and generous lens shift give integrators placement flexibility, while Daylight View and advanced geometric correction keep images clear and properly aligned on flat, curved, and off-axis screens. Laser phosphor light and Digital Link connectivity make it a practical installation projector for conference rooms, auditoriums, and training spaces.

Product Description

This WUXGA installation projector pairs a long-life laser light source with 3LCD color to produce vibrant visuals in well-lit environments. A 1.6x optical zoom plus vertical (+44%) and horizontal (±20%) lens shift simplify mounting against existing infrastructure, and a Digital Zoom Extender stretches throw distance beyond the optical range so an existing ceiling mount can often be reused. The advanced geometric correction suite includes independent four-corner correction, six-point adjustment, and curved-screen correction, controlled through an updated on-screen GUI that does not require a connected PC. High dynamic contrast (rated 5,000,000:1) and Daylight View Basic adapt the image to room lighting for better definition. Connectivity covers dual HDMI, a Digital Link / HDBaseT RJ-45 input, VGA, USB media playback, and LAN and RS-232 control. Buyers comparing brightness tiers can also look at the PT-VMZ71U7 and PT-VMZ61U7 WUXGA laser projectors on the Creation Networks store.
