Panasonic’s Original Dual Lamp System
This system eliminates the interruption if a lamp
should fail (in dual-lamp operation mode). The
Lamp Relay mode also operates the lamps alter-
nately to enable 24/7 projection.
Long Lamp Life Contributes to Low TCO
The PT-DZ870 Series projectors lower the total
cost of ownership because they have a lamp
replacement cycle of up to 4,000 hours

A new optical cooling system featuring a heat
pipe block suppresses temperature rises inside
the projector and allows stable operation up to
an ambient temperature of 45°C (113°F)

. The
use of this heat-pipe cooling system also
achieves quiet operation, enabling viewers to
concentrate on the presentation or on quiet
movie scenes.
s$UST2ESISTANT/PTICAL "LOCK
The optical block, the heart of the projector, is
hermetically sealed to resist the effects of dust
and other particles in the air, which makes it
possible to remove the air filters for optics. It
also contributes to the low TCO.
Easy Lamp Replacement

For easier maintenance, you can replace the
lamp from the rear. This makes it easy to replace
a lamp unit while the projector is still in the
mounting bracket or dual stacked.

Compatible
The PT-DZ870 Series projector is compatible
with the Art-Net protocol for lighting manage-
ment. Art-Net compatibility lets you connect the
projector to the lighting console, and operate
functions such as shutter on/off, input change,
power on/off, etc., together with the light control.

Connects Multiple Screens
s%DGE"LENDING
The edges of adjacent screens can be blended
and their luminance controlled.
s#OLOR-ATCHING
This function corrects for slight variations in the
color reproduction range of individual projectors.
The PC software assures easy, accurate control.
s-ULTI3CREEN0ROCESSOR
The PT-DZ870 Series can project large, multi-
screen images without any additional equipment.
Up to 100 (10 × 10) units can be edge-blended
at a time.
Multi-Unit Brightness Control
This function automatically corrects the bright-
ness fluctuations that occur over time in the
individual projectors of a multi-screen system. Up
to eight projectors can be controlled by connect-
ing to each other via a hub, and this can be
increased to a maximum of 2,048 projectors by
using “Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Soft-
ware Ver. 2.8.”
