PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Dynamic Color for Bright Rooms

DLP™ technology, Quartet Color Harmonizer, Rich Color Enhancer, and digitally modulated Dynamic Contrast 2 optimization coalesce in images of surpassing brightness, color, and clarity regardless of ambient light levels.

Quiet, Versatile, and Easy to Install

Flexible 2.0x zoom lens with V/H Lens-Shift joins DIGITAL LINK and CEC-ready HDMI^® terminals supporting 4K/60p input signals^*3. Separate LAN terminal and USB-DC outlet further streamline installation. Operation is almost inaudible at 27 dB^*4.

Proven SOLID SHINE Laser Reliability

Heat-pipe cooling for the laser modules and heat-sinks for airtight DMD block support filterless design for 20,000 hours^*5 of maintenance-free projection. Multi-Laser Drive Engine^*6 has Failover Circuitry^*7 while optional Early Warning software^*8 reinforces reliability.

Dynamic Color for Bright Rooms

Brilliant Color Reproduction

Quartet Color Harmonizer is an original color-wheel mechanism featuring optimized optical design. It modulates light-output according to the image’s color requirements, achieving wide-gamut reproduction with pure white for greater color accuracy and depth without sacrificing brightness. Combined with stable SOLID SHINE Laser brightness and the superior uniformity of DLP™ imaging, colors appear richer and brighter without the greenish cast sometimes experienced with alternative projection technologies.

Rich Color Enhancer

Rich Color Enhancer includes a Dynamic Mode that prioritizes image brightness, and a Graphic Mode/Standard Mode to suit graphical content. This mode adjusts color-wheel timing for deeper color saturation in situations where projection at maximum brightness is not required.

Dynamic Contrast 2 Heightens Contrast Precision

PT-FRZ60/FRZ50 features a new Dynamic Contrast 2 setting that enhances digitally modulated contrast precision to a level approaching our professional models. Dynamic Contrast regulates light-output frame-by-frame or scene-by-scene according to image requirements, achieving accurate contrast when bright and dark scenes frequently interchange. Whites are brighter, blacks richer, and skin-tones more natural even in well-lit environments. The technology also consumes less energy than conventional projection systems.

Quiet, Versatile, and Easy to Install

Wide-Range 2.0x Zoom Lens with Lens-Shift

To smooth the path to stress-free installation, the projectors equip a 2.0x optical zoom lens that supports a wide range of throw-distances while filling the entire screen with a high-brightness image. V/H Lens-Shift (Vertical: +64 %, -44 % and Horizontal: +34 %, -27 %) locates the image on screen when optimal projector placement isn’t possible, such as in rooms with high ceilings or for angled projection. V/H Keystone Correction (Vertical: ±40 °, Horizontal: ±20 °), curved-screen correction, and Auto Image Rotation function are included to further enhance flexibility. Lens, lens-shift range, and optional brackets are identical to the previous Panasonic PT-RZ570 model, making the PT-FRZ60/FRZ50 a cost-effective replacement choice since the new projector can swap straight in with practically no installation adjustment required.

Supports 4K/60p Signal Input*

Both projectors support uncompressed 4K/60p input signals via HDCP 2.3-compliant HDMI^® inputs or DIGITAL LINK terminal. The ability to play Ultra HD video at the projector's resolution is invaluable when distributing the same signal to 4K-ready endpoints of differing screen resolutions. An external video converter is not required, saving on installation cost, and you no longer need to reencode video to suit different display resolutions. If preferred, both video and 10Base-T/100Base-TX-compliant control-signals can be assigned to DIGITAL LINK using CAT5e STP cable (or higher): a cost-efficient way to connect over long distances.

CEC-ready HDMI Inputs and USB-DC Outlet

HDMI inputs are compatible with control commands from a CEC-compatible component, and allow you to power the projector on/off and commence playback using the source device’s controls. A 5 V/2 A USB-DC outlet will power an HDMI network streaming device so groups can share content to the big screen from their PCs or mobiles. USB power also supports connection of PressIT^*1, Panasonic’s new Wireless Presentation System, for effortless one-touch transmission of content from PC or mobile––no software installation required.

Separate LAN and DIGITAL LINK Terminals

Separate LAN and HDBase-T™-based DIGITAL LINK terminals allow 100Base-TX- and 10BaseT-compatible control signals via Panasonic, Crestron^®, AMX, and Extron^® applications to be assigned to the dedicated LAN connection, freeing DIGITAL LINK for high-bandwidth video over cable runs of up to 150 m (492 ft)*.

Quiet 27 dB* Projection Mode

With more lessons and meetings now taking place online, it’s important to own a quiet projector that won’t drown out the discussion. A silent projector also helps your team to focus by limiting distractions. PT-FRZ60/FRZ50 includes a Quiet Mode that enables practically inaudible 27 dB* (PT-FRZ50) or 30 dB* (PT-FRZ60) operation. Enjoy better results from an alert audience, whether they’re in the room or participating online.

Proven SOLID SHINE Laser Reliability

SOLID SHINE Laser for Dependably High Brightness

PT-FRZ60 and PT-FRZ50 have durable solid-state laser modules in place of a consumable lamp. The benefits of laser projection are emphatically proven, with no need for consumable parts replacement over years of continuous 24/7 projection and a shallower brightness ramp with superior color uniformity. Experience better picture quality for longer at a comparably lower cost. Another advantage is the ability to switch the unit on and off from the room breaker any time without risking damage to the light-source.

Laser Redundancy Maintains Image Display

Failover Circuitry^*1 limits brightness loss in the unlikely event of a single diode failure. Multi Laser Drive Engine^*2 features redundant laser modules that maintain image display and allow the presentation to continue if a laser module fails, invaluable for mission-critical situations when projection must not be interrupted.

Filterless Cooling and Airtight Optical Block

Implementation of heat-pipe-based cooling with heat-sinks for the DMD block eliminate need for an air filter. These projectors can operate continuously in dusty environments for 20,000 hours* without maintenance thanks to a hermetically sealed optical engine that prevents dust intrusion and associated image degradation.

Multi Monitoring & Control Software with Optional Early Warning Functions*

Manage up to 2,048 devices over the intranet with convenient system-map visualization and auto-search of unregistered devices. The free software is bundled with optional Early Warning functions*. These enable abnormality detection, scheduled maintenance reminders, and more.

Other Features

Detail Clarity Processor 3

This unique Panasonic circuitry optimizes the sharpness of each image based on information gathered from four frequency bands of the video signal. The resulting images are expressed with natural and convincing realism.

Daylight View Basic

Panasonic’s Daylight View Basic technology achieves sharp, easily viewed images by enhancing detail, particularly in dark areas of the image that are normally difficult to see in brightly lit rooms. A built-in sensor measures ambient light while Daylight View Basic adjusts halftone color and brightness according to the surrounding level of illumination.

Single-Cable DIGITAL LINK Connection

DIGITAL LINK transmits uncompressed video, audio^*1, and control commands through a single CAT 5e STP cable for distances of up to 150 m (492 ft)^*2. Optional ET-YFB200G DIGITAL LINK Switcher or ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box further simplifies installation, reduces cabling and associated costs, and enhances reliability.

Auto Screen Image Rotation

Images are automatically* rotated depending on installation orientation—upside down on the ceiling or set on a table—using a built-in accelerometer.

ECO Management System

Push the ECO button on the remote control to set up Eco Management functions, including automatic brightness reduction in dim ambient lighting conditions, and power consumption reduction when no input signal is detected.
