Panasonic PT-RQ22KU
Overview
PT-RQ22KU
3-Chip DLP™ 4K+ Large Venue Laser Projector
Explore New Possibilities with the World’s Smallest and Lightest 20,000-lumen-class 4K+ Projector*1
The PT-RQ22KU 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.

Notes:
*1 Refresh rate varies depending on scanning frequency.
*2 Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2012 international standards. Value is average of all products when shipped.
*3 Average light-output value of all shipped products measured at center of screen in NORMAL Mode.
*4 Around this time, light output will have decreased by approximately 50 %. IEC62087: 2008 Broadcast contents, NORMAL Mode, Dynamic Contrast [3], under conditions with 35 °C (95 °F), 700 m (2,297 ft) above sea level, and 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter. Estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depends on environment.
*5 Lens shift is not supported on the ET-D3LEW50.
*6 When Standby Mode is set to ECO, network functions such as power on over LAN will not operate. Additionally, only certain commands can be received for external control using the serial terminal.
*7 With legs at shortest position.
*8 Excluding legs.
*9 Average value. May differ depending on the actual unit.
*10 Operating temperature is 0–40 °C (32–104 °F) when used in locations from 1,400 m to 4,200 m (4,593 ft to 13,779 ft) above sea level. When operating in ECO or NORMAL mode at elevations between 0–2,700 m (0–8,858 ft) in ambient temperatures exceeding 40 °C (104 °F), or at elevations between 2,700–4,200 m (8,858–13,780 ft) in ambient temperatures exceeding 25 °C (77 °F), light output may be reduced to protect the projector.
