Panasonic demos the PT-RZ370 model of their LED/Laser-Combined Light Sources (which also includes the PT-RW330) at the G&G Technologies Broadcasters Show in Saddle Brook, New Jersey, Wednesday, May 8, 2013.

The PT-RZ370/RW330 features 3,500 lumens of brightness.
Rate of brightness deterioration in the LED/Laser-combined light source is extremely slow compared to lamp-based projectors.
The SOLID SHINE drive uses a built-in sensor to constantly detect the light intensity of the light source and correct corresponding changes in white balance. This all helps to maintain excellent picture quality for a long period of time.

Contrast is outstanding too, at 10,000:1, and images are reproduced with a wide dynamic range. The PT-RZ370 also features a Full-HD (1,920 x 1,080) DLP™ chip, allowing highly detailed Full-HD images without resizing.

This new light source requires no maintenance for approximately 20,000 hours.* In many cases, this means no maintenance until your next refresh cycle. Naturally, there are no lamp burnout problems during use, so reliability is further increased. There is also no filter to clean due to carefully engineered sealed optics.

As a consequence, running cost is dramatically lowered because of the savings on lamp costs, maintenance labor and hassle of stocking lamps.

Other features of the LED/Laser-Combined Light Source include:

* Superior Color Reproduction

* 30x Drive which prevents color breaking

* Dust-resistant structure with an airtight optical block

* DICOM simulation mode

* Daylight View which ensures clear images even in brightly-lit rooms
