Achieving 4K+ with Original Pixel Quadrupling Technology

ter-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.

Real Motion Processor Reduces Motion Blur

Real Motion Processor uses sophisticated algorithms to create three additional frames for each image, boosting native 60 fps footage to 240 frames per second. The result is smooth and realistic motion rendering, particularly useful for the broadcast of
sporting events and other fast-paced video. Further, images can be displayed with SDI, DVI-D, and HDMI simultaneous inputs. A refined optical engine enhances focus performance for a lifelike sense of resolution, contrast, and fluidity.

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

Supports BT.2020 Emulation and HDR

The PT-RQ22K has emulation for BT.2020. It reproduces a wider color gamut than conventional standards. Additionally, they support HDR (High Dynamic Range). Image reproduction is stunning, from deepest black to sparkling bright highlights

Auto Gamma and Color Space Select Functions

When an HDR video signal is delivered via HDMI® or DIGITAL LINK input, the projector reads its EDID data and automatically selects the optimal gamma- and color-space modes for the most natural HDR image projection. When this function is enabled, video
is projected at best possible quality without the hassle of manual selection.

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

enhances the subtlest details in 4K+ images

Peak Optimization for Mapping and Daylight Projection

This premium technology stops pictures washing out in bright light and assures dramatic impact for mapping and multi-projector applications. It uses sensor information to correct sharpness, gamma curves, and colors to suit on-site conditions.

Contrast and Shutter Sync Functions

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

90 % Brightness Uniformity

SOLID SHINE Laser delivers superior brightness uniformity thanks to accurate white balance control. Brightness uniformity is greater than 90 % when measured at screen corners, edges, and center.

Multi-unit Brightness and Color Control

Sensors detect color and brightness apparent on screen. Projectors automatically calibrate for a uniform multi-screen image, adding a layer of convenience and cost saving both in short-term and long-term events.

Lower TCO in NORMAL and ECO Modes

The PT-RQ22K is engineered to operate for 20,000 hours without maintenance, with no filter or light-source replacement required even in challenging operating conditions. In applications where maximum brightness isn’t necessary, such as in surveillance,
control, or simulation rooms, or in darkened museums or planetariums, ECO Mode extends continuous operation out to about 24,000 hours. In this mode, color consistency is maintained with a flatter brightness ramp preserving high picture quality for
longer while reducing total cost of ownership.
