Varies depending on the input signal, peripheral devices, and other factors.

Optional ET-SWR10 Real-Time Tracking Projection-Mapping System is sold separately. 

The RQ7 Series projector is designed with a compact body, approximately 29% smaller by volume and 22% lighter than previous RZ790/RZ690 models. This streamlined design not only conserves resources but also lowers the carbon footprint during transport, storage, and installation. Lightweight enough for single-person handling, it simplifies logistics for multi-projection setups. Additionally, its advanced cooling system minimizes operating noise to as low as 31 dB, ensuring the focus remains on the experience rather than the equipment.

The RQ7 Series supports optional proprietary and third-party function boards that fit into its Intel® SDM standard-compatible SLOT. This flexibility allows you to easily adapt, scale, and expand the projector’s connectivity options to suit various requirements.

The terminal layout shown is for reference only. Optional proprietary and third-party function boards are sold separately, and Panasonic does not guarantee compatibility with third-party devices. HDMI™ signal transmission is required for connection to the slot.

The Smart Projector Control app allows you to manage up to 64 projectors directly from your smartphone or tablet, making it easy to adjust settings even when on-screen display (OSD) menu access isn’t available. Key features include test pattern selection, shutter control, access to the Web Control UI, lens adjustments, brightness locking, and focus calibration using your device’s camera from up to 30 meters (98 feet) away. The app also enables quick projector connection via QR code scanning, eliminating the need for password or SSID entry.

Available free from the App Store or the Google Play Store. Check device and OS compatibility before downloading and installing the app.

Some devices do not support the projector autofocus function.

When projecting a 300-inch image. The maximum distance is 3 m (10 ft) for a 100-inch image.

Requires optional AJ-WM50 Series Wireless Module (sold separately). Product availability may vary by country or region.

The RQ7 Series comes equipped with built-in geometric adjustment tools, including a point-based Free Grid function for precise correction of localized screen distortion. It also includes preactivated licenses for advanced Geo Pro software. These licenses cover the ET-UK20 Geometry Manager Pro Software Upgrade Kit, which adds extensive functionality with advanced line, shape, and bitmap masking tools, and the ET-CUK10 Auto Screen Adjustment Upgrade Kit, which automates edge-blending and adjusts brightness, color, and black levels using a camera for seamless multi-projection alignment.

Traditionally, Dynamic Contrast control was applied individually to each projector in a multi-screen setup, which often caused step noise in blends due to variations in the Average Picture Level (APL). Panasonic’s Contrast Sync solves this problem by using the average APL across all projectors in the system, ensuring a smooth, unified multi-screen image. The RQ7 Series is the first Panasonic projector to support Contrast Sync via LAN cable only, eliminating the need for a serial cable connection and simplifying the system setup. Additionally, the shutter timing of all sub-projectors is synchronized with the main projector via the LAN connection, providing seamless fade-in and fade-out effects across the entire projection.

In addition to 10 built-in test patterns, the RQ7 Series allows users to import and save up to 4 custom images in JPEG, BMP, or PNG format via its Web Control UI or USB memory device. These images can be used as test patterns, start-up logos, or no-signal screensavers. This feature enables installers to calibrate projectors using client content or custom images without the need to connect to a media source device.

Note: This function replaces Logo Transfer Software.

The RQ7 Series supports 360° projection angles, allowing for image mapping on floors, walls, and 3D objects. Aligning the projection angle with the design simulation, however, can be challenging and often requires two people. To simplify this, the projectors are equipped with a built-in gyro sensor that detects changes in pitch and roll angles, which are graphically displayed in the OSD settings menu. This feature enables installers to adjust the projection angle independently, without the need for additional assistance.

The displayed values are based on the angle sensor detection results and may not reflect the actual projection angle. These values are provided for reference only, and accuracy is not guaranteed.

The RQ7 Series features an optical engine and laser light source that meet the IP5X Dust Protected (IEC 60529) standard, eliminating the need for a filter and offering up to 20,000 hours of maintenance-free projection. Its reliability is further demonstrated through accelerated dust-chamber testing, which simulates much dustier conditions than those used for some competitive products, ensuring robust performance in challenging environments.

The Dust Protected performance of this unit does not guarantee protection against damage or failure under all conditions, such as environments with conductive dust. For environments with smoke containing oil, salt, or moisture, it is recommended to use an enclosure to ensure optimal performance.

At approximately 20,000 hours, the light output will have decreased by about 50%, based on the following conditions: IEC62087: 2008 Broadcast Contents, [NORMAL] Mode, [PICTURE MODE] set to [DYNAMIC], Dynamic Contrast [3], a temperature of 35°C (95°F), an elevation of 700 m (2,297 ft), and 0.15 mg/m³ of airborne particulate matter. Panasonic recommends performing a checkup at the point of purchase after around 20,000 hours. The light-source lifetime may vary depending on environmental conditions, and other parts may require replacement in a shorter time. Maintenance intervals will differ based on the environment.

The new Eco Boost mode further reduces energy consumption when Dynamic Contrast is enabled, while still maintaining the perceived brightness of the image.

Two identical signals can be transmitted simultaneously to HDMI™ 1 (Primary) and HDMI™ 2 (Backup). If the primary input signal is interrupted, the projector automatically switches to the backup input in as little as 0.3 seconds, without any screen blanking. This feature provides an extra layer of reliability, ensuring uninterrupted image display during events where continuity is crucial.

Varies depending on the Backup Input mode and the connected external device.

The primary and backup terminal assignments are fixed, and the input signals to both the primary and backup inputs must be identical to ensure seamless switching.

The RQ7 Series is equipped with multiple laser modules featuring Failover Circuitry. In the rare event that a single diode fails, the Failover Circuitry ensures that power continues to be supplied to the remaining functional diodes in the series, minimizing any loss of brightness. In contrast, projectors without this circuitry may experience a complete shutdown of all diodes in the module, leading to a significant reduction in brightness.

Remote Preview LITE enables projectionists to verify connectivity and make image adjustments before the content is projected by viewing preview thumbnails on a laptop. This feature is particularly useful at live events where checking the content directly on the screen may be limited due to soundchecks or other logistical factors. Accessible via software or a web browser, it works with the projector in Standby or with the shutter on, helping to minimize errors and ensuring a smooth performance.
