Panasonic PT-MZ17KLBU7 Projector
The Panasonic PT-MZ17KLBU7 is a 3LCD laser projector rated at 16,500 lumens (ISO) with native WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolution and 4K signal input. Three 1.0-inch LCD panels deliver even, full-color light with no color-wheel artifacts, and the 3,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio keeps blacks deep in demanding rooms such as auditoriums, houses of worship, and rental and staging setups. The filterless laser engine is rated for roughly 20,000 hours before brightness falls to half, with no scheduled lamp or filter service.
This is the lens-less (KL) model; an ET-series interchangeable lens is selected and ordered separately for the intended throw. Signal I/O includes two HDMI 2.1 inputs with HDCP 2.3, HD-SDI on BNC, DIGITAL LINK, and RJ-45 for network control. This is the black (BU7) chassis; Normal-mode audible noise is 38 dB.
