PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Explore New Possibilities with the World’s Smallest and Lightest 20,000-lumen-class 4K⁺ Projector^*1

The PT-RQ22KE gives staging innovators an edge where the limits of projection are routinely tested. As the world’s smallest and lightest 20,000-lumen-class 4K⁺ projector^*1, the PT-RQ22K brings unassailable image-quality to body dimensions comparable to our 10,000-lumen-class projectors. Easily handled by fewer people and supporting free 360° installation, novel projection ideas become reality in 4K⁺. Hermetically sealed optics and filterless heat-pipe-based cooling underline reliability in dusty conditions, while solid-state lasers consistently control the brightness ramp over 20,000 hours^*2 of maintenance-free operation. With shared assets across Panasonic’s large-venue lineup enhancing ROI, your transition to 4K⁺ projection is smooth and cost-effective.

Bright and Vivid Picture Quality from 3-Chip DLP™ SOLID SHINE Laser

Combining 3-Chip DLP™ imaging with original SOLID SHINE Laser Phosphor technology, Panasonic 3-Chip DLP™ SOLID SHINE Laser Series produces vividly colored pictures rich in detail with excellent brightness. Solid-state laser light sources and specially engineered heat-resistant phosphor wheels work together with three discrete DLP™ modules (R/G/B) for high brightness, true color accuracy, and high contrast in large venues.

Precision Color Reproduction

3-Chip DLP™ SOLID SHINE Laser projectors capture a more accurate color space than comparable laser projectors. Blue lasers ensure greater precision while an expanded color gamut improves white-balance accuracy.

Dual-Laser Optical Engine Assures Failsafe Reliability

Dual-Drive Laser Optical Engine groups laser diodes into two discrete modules. A redundancy circuit works to minimize brightness- and color-uniformity loss should a laser diode fail, making supported products ideal for applications where picture presentation must be maintained.

Filterless Laser Design Delivers 20,000-hour^*1 Maintenance-free Operation

Panasonic has eliminated air filters from its 20,000-lm-class PT-RQ22K laser projector design, enabling maintenance-free operation for up to 20,000 hours^*1.
This is achieved with hermetically sealed optics and unique heat-pipe-based cooling with one-way airflow. The projector can operate continuously for long periods without regular maintenance, even in smoky staging conditions, saving operators time and money. With no filters to replace and controlled brightness ramp, the PT-RQ22K saves you real money.

Quad Pixel Drive Goes Beyond 4K

Better-than-4K resolution is achieved by employing a high-speed 2560 x 1600-pixel (WQXGA) DMD chip that shifts each pixel vertically and horizontally, quadrupling the pixel-count. Working in concert with Real Motion Processor 240 Hz frame-creation, Quad Pixel Drive technology produces film-like 5120 x 3200-pixel (4K⁺/16:10) images. As well as silk-smooth video, this powerful processing engine renders text in the finest detail for lectures and presentations.

Delivering Film-like 4K⁺ Projection at Higher Brightness

The PT-RQ22K projects bright, film-like 4K⁺ (5120 x 3200) images without visible pixels for video reproduction that’s extremely clear and natural. Quad Pixel Drive teams with huge laser brightness for an ultra-high-resolution experience that will blow your audience away.

New Noise-Reduction Function Enhances HDR Content

Noise in dark areas of conventional images—emphasized when inferior equipment is used to project HDR video—is erased with Panasonic’s newest noise-reduction technology. These new projectors effectively eliminate picture noise in dark areas without decreasing highlight brightness, while the PT-RQ22K lets viewers experience spectacular HDR video unspoiled by noisy blacks.

Detail Clarity Processor 5⁺

Panasonic’s next-generation circuit technology analyzes individual images frame by frame to clarify areas containing fine details and textures. Algorithms extract hidden information from super-high to low-frequency video bands, sharpening outlines, correcting contours, and reducing ringing noise to improve the sense of resolution. The technology includes an exclusive Refine Enhancer algorithm to further optimize detail reproduction in 4K⁺ images.

Free 360-degree Installation

SOLID SHINE Laser enables free 360-degree installation through any axis. Together with powered lens shift and wide range of optional lenses, this projector can project images from any orientation without picture distortion.

Contrast Sync and Shutter Sync Function

Contrast Sync allows Dynamic Contrast Control to be synchronized for consistent picture quality across multiple screens. Shutter Sync, meanwhile, synchronizes shutter on/off timing.

Geometric Adjustment with Free Grid Correction via Remote Control

Panasonic has added a new Free Grid function to existing Geometric Adjustment that enables convenient grid-based image adjustment using the projector’s remote controller. Grid resolutions of 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 5 x 5, 9 x 9, or 17 x 17 can be projected and areas of the image reshaped or geometrically altered to compensate for screen distortions. This correction is easily performed by adjusting control points located at grid-line intersections. Move freely between grid resolutions to achieve the desired level of granularity without losing work progress. This clever data-saving function allows technicians to smoothly create a distortion-free projection in a wide range of installation situations.
