Panasonic PT-F300NTU

The F300 Series projectors' optical block maintains a high level of performance over time, due to the use of inorganic materials in the LCD panels and polarizers. It also makes them the logical choice for a truly dependable LCD projector system.

Panasonic's proprietary Auto Cleaning Filter (ACF) uses a highly efficient electrostatic filter called the Micro Cut Filter. The ACF brushes away dust that adheres to the filter, which helps prevent clogging that can impair operation or cause malfunction. This helps maintain the Micro Cut Filter's superior dust-collecting performance and, coupled with a dust-resistant design, minimizes brightness loss due to dust accumulation. As a result, the filter does not need to be replaced for over 10,000 hours, greatly reducing the hassle of maintenance.

In developing the dust-resistant design, Panasonic totally re-engineered the airflow path, from intake to exhaust, to create a cabinet that hermetically seals off the projector interior. This design and the ACF team up to keep the air inside the projector clean for long periods of time and minimize any brightness degradation.

Lamps used in a projector require much higher precision than ordinary household lamps. Panasonic employs a number of advanced technologies -including a proprietary lamp drive system- that help maintain optimal lamp performance for longer-lasting brightness. This has resulted in a 5,000-hour lamp replacement cycle.

The PT-F300 Series features Panasonic's Daylight View 5 technology. Remarkable detail is provided and perceived brightness and contrast are enhanced, so images appear crisp, vivid, 3-dimensional and easy to see even in brightly lit rooms. Sharp edges are achieved with the "Edge Enhancer Control" and "Gamma Curve Control," while the perceived contrast is improved by extending the white level. Daylight View 5 operates in combination with a built-in ambient light sensor that automatically detects room brightness and adjusts operation accordingly.

Every model can project a 120-inch image from any distance between 3.6 m (11.8 feet) and 7.2 m (23.6 feet). In new installations, this lets you accommodate a wide range of room sizes and shapes. And when replacing existing projectors, the 2x zoom greatly enhances your ease of installation and can reduce costs by permitting the use of existing mounting positions and cablings.

Anyone can operate a PT-F300-Series projector by remote control or monitor its status over a LAN network, because it is all done using the computer's familiar web browser. Furthermore, the projector sends an e-mail message to notify the operator when an error has occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced. The LAN terminals support PJLink™ class 1 connection. Control with the same specifications is also possible when used in a multi-projector system with projectors of another brand.

With wireless capability, you don't need cables to connect a PC. That means it's easy to bring in a laptop (with a wireless LAN function) and deliver a smooth, hassle-free presentation. You can make the settings for wireless connection quickly and easily using Wireless Manager ME 5.5 software. When the presentation is finished, Wireless Manager restores the PC to its previous LAN settings, so the PC is ready to reconnect to your LAN. Functions include Live mode and Multi-Live mode. In Live mode, the image projected is identical to the image seen on the PC screen. In Multi- Live mode, you can wirelessly connect with multiple PCs.
