The following video presents Empowering Businesses with a Wide Range of 4K Solutions at InfoComm:
Watch Panasonic, a single-source supplier of 4K solutions, demonstrate its fully integrated range of B2B applications at InfoComm 2015. Observe a number of stunning 4K technologies such as large format 4K LQ series displays and the vibrant RQ13K projector that will serve to empower businesses.
Panasonic PT-RQ13K is the most compact and lightweight projector of its kind in the world. It employs quad pixel drive technology to deliver extremely detailed, film-like, 4K image quality.
Panasonic PT-RQ13K : 4K images
To achieve this, the optical axis of the projector is shifted both horizontally and vertically at a high frame rate of 240 Hz, to create four different pixels from a single pixel – effectively quadrupling the pixel density of the image. A new generation of detail clarity processor analyses the required pixel information for extra pixels, and optimises for fluid, detailed, high-contrast images.
- A contrast ratio of 20,000:1 that, together with high-resolution performance, makes them ideal for large exhibition venues, virtual reality theatres and corporate applications.
- The projectors include a fail-safe dual-drive laser optical engine which ensures 20,000 hours maintenance-free laser lighting. A new liquid-cooling system reduces operating noise and maximises the laser light source performance.
- The PT-RQ13K is set for release in autumn 2015.
Projection mapping utilizes projectors and software to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into a display surface for video projection.

By using specialized software, a two- or three-dimensional object is spatially mapped on the virtual program which mimics the real environment it is to be projected on. The software can interact with a projector to fit any desired image onto the surface of that object. Projection mapping really is as limitless as your imagination.
Panasonic PT-DZ21KU projector
At InfoComm 2015, there were six PT-DZ21KU projectors with edge blending in action through a state-of-the-art projection mapping display onto a Tesla Model S. The demo takes the car through a spectacular drive through the snow, a cityscape and multiple different color changes.

Panasonic’s First 4k+ Projector Makes Its U.S. Debut At Infocomm 2015
Booth 1501 Debuts the PT-RQ13KU, the World’s Lightest* Extra 4K+ 3-Chip DLP Laser Projector
Panasonic System Communications Company of North America, a provider of professional projector solutions, today introduced at InfoComm 2015 the PT-RQ13KU, the company’s first beyond 4K screen resolution projector. At the show, Panasonic will also show the high brightness PT-DZ21KU projector, showcasing its impact through a dramatic projection mapping display onto a Tesla Model S. Attendees can see these products and more at booth 1501.
The PT-RQ13KU 4K+ Projector
With 4K+ screen resolution (5,120 X 3,200) and Quad Pixel Drive technology, the PT-RQ13KU is the most compact and lightweight* 4K+ 3-chip DLP laser projector in the world. The projector boasts an impressive 10,000 lm of brightness and a contrast ratio of 20,000:1 using laser light, delivering extremely detailed, film-like, 4K+ image quality. The projector’s pixel is shifted both horizontally and vertically at a high frame rate of 240 Hz, physically creating four different pixels from a single pixel, effectively quadrupling the pixel density of the image and creating an extraordinary picture quality. To optimize for fluid, detailed, high-contrast images, the PT-RQ13KU leverages a next-generation Detail Clarity Processor that analyzes pixel information.
The new projector also delivers an extremely long 20,000-hour light-source life, ensuring greater reliability in addition to 24/7 operation. Providing system and installation flexibility, the Multi-Screen Support System allows screens to seamlessly join with edge blending, color matching and digital image enlarging. In addition, the PT-RQ13KU uses DIGITAL LINK – based on HDBaseT™ technology – that reduces cost and complexity of installation by allowing transmission of HD video, audio and control commands through a single CAT5e cable. The PT-RQ13KU is ideal for a wide variety of applications including rental and staging, auditorium, museum, control room, and house of worship. The PT-RQ13KU will be available in the fall of 2015.
“Modern communication is driven by impactful visuals and 4K technology delivers the most impressive image available,” said Art Rankin, Vice President, AV Technologies, Panasonic System Communications Company of North America. “Companies for which visual communication is critical to brand identity – such as retail – are clamoring to offer solutions in 4K. Our new 4K+ projector will allow customers to create even higher impact images, whether it’s in retail environments or large exhibition venues.”
Tesla Projection Mapping
At InfoComm 2015, attendees can also see six PT-DZ21KU projectors in action through a state-of-the-art projection mapping display onto a Tesla Model S. The PT-DZ21KU was selected to light up the London Olympic Games Opening Ceremony in 2012 and is a powerful, compact 20,000 lm projectors with a 10,000:1 contrast ratio and WUXGA resolution. Such performance has earned the series the trust of decision makers in industries such as rental and staging, house of worship, and permanent installation in large indoor and outdoor venues.
Dynamic Projection and Lighting with the Space Player
The recently developed Space Player employs the new concept of “projection lighting,” using projected visuals as lighting to create a wide variety of ambient lighting possibilities that were previously unavailable. For example, the new projection spotlight can light up an object while projecting video or product descriptions onto the surrounding space; it could also be used to capture the attention of customers onto a product through moving illuminations. The Space Player will be available in black and white, and features a one-touch switch between “lighting mode” and “projector mode” by remote control that comes with the system. In addition to the standalone playback of pictures and videos from an SD card, the Space Player is capable of projecting images and video from a diverse range of sources, such as a PC or tablet over a Wi-Fi network, or using an HDMI connection.

The following video presents Creating new possibilities for ambient lighting -Panasonic’s Space Player™-:
On February 27, 2014, Panasonic announced the launch of its “Space Player™,” an innovatively new lighting device, which combines the functions of traditional lighting with imaging. This “projection lighting” device provides ample lighting while also projecting images and information such as product description onto the surroundings. This device, which resembles a spotlight, may be attached to the wiring duct, and its direction may be freely adjusted. Shops and facilities can easily incorporate this device into their existent system. Not only will you be able to use still and moving images stored on SD Memory Cards, but you will also be able to wirelessly project images from your PC and tablet. Moreover, Panasonic will propose and sell content that meets customers’ unique needs and also create a “projection lighting” market. Please take a look at scenes from the announcement and the LED Next Stage 2014 held subsequently.
