Key Features
  • Lightweight 49.6 lb body, and quiet 35 dB operation
  • Long-life energy-saving design minimizes problems
  • Delivers up to 11,000 lumens on AC 100–240 V

Features

  • Lightweight, Compact, and Capable of High-Brightness Projection: The PT-MZ11KL is a small and light LCD projector featuring 11,000 lm1 of brightness. The compact and sophisticated design harmonizes with open halls and hybrid learning spaces. Images from the PT-MZ11KL are easily visible even in brightly lit areas, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from large-screen projection at lectures and seminars, to powerful exhibition presentations at museums.

  • Quiet Operation Allows Viewers to Concentrate on Your Presentation: The PT-MZ11KL achieves quiet operation at 35 dB (in NORMAL mode). Not only does it keep participants focused, it also contributes to an improved sound environment for applications such as hybrid conferences. When an even quieter environment is required, noise level can be further reduced to 30 dB by setting the projector to QUIET Mode. 

  • Pure White Generator Delivers High Brightness and Rich Color: Pure White Generator, developed by Panasonic Connect, contributes to rich color reproduction at high brightness of up to 11,000 lumens1. Efficient light collection uses a multi-reflection system to minimize loss of light source energy noticeable with conventional systems. It achieves an optimal color balance without sacrificing brightness for realistic and accurate color expression.

  • Dynamic Contrast NX Realizes a New Dimension of Light and Dark Control (NEW): Dynamic Contrast NX, a further evolution of Dynamic Contrast, uses a newly developed video-scene analysis circuit to recognize differences in brightness and darkness more precisely than before.

  • Environmentally Friendly Energy-Saving Design, from Transport to Maintenance: Light and compact body improves loading efficiency and reduces CO2 emissions associated with transport. Laser light source and filter don’t need to be replaced for 20,000 hours2, minimizing use of consumable parts and other waste. From transportation to operation and maintenance, the environmentally friendly design reduces labor and costs while supporting CSR, SDGs, and other green initiatives.

  • Multi-Laser Drive Engine Anticipates Unforeseen Circumstances: Multi-Laser Drive Engine ensures stable projection even if light source problems occur. The projector is equipped with multiple modules consisting of many laser diodes, and in the unlikely event one of the elements malfunctions, Panasonic Connect’s unique Failover Circuitry is activated so that projection can continue with virtually no reduction in brightness. This allows the projector to be used with peace of mind in situations where a drop in brightness could affect important presentations, such as large-scale lectures and seminars.

  • Long-Term Stability with Unique Liquid-Cooling System and Dust-Proof Structure: To achieve high brightness and stable operation, we adopted a liquid-cooling system originally developed for our DLP™ projection systems. This efficient design circulates cooling liquid to the light-source modules directly, preventing temperature increases associated with high-brightness projection. Combined with a highly reliable original dust-proof structure, the system enables stable performance even in hot, dusty environments.

  • Backup Input Function for Enhanced Reliability: Backup Input3 function enables seamless projection even if the input signal is disrupted. With HDMI 1 set as the primary input and HDMI 2 set as the secondary input, the projector switches to HDMI 2 in as little as 0.3 seconds4 if the signal to HDMI 1 is disrupted. This improves reliability and ensures stable operation in environments where video presentation must not be interrupted.

  • Information Monitor for Changing Settings and Checking Status: Information Monitor is located on the main unit’s control panel and displays information such as temperature, voltage, operating hours, and input signals in real time. If a projector error occurs, the error number and associated details are immediately reported. The status of the main unit can be easily checked, and quick recovery from trouble is made possible.

  • Data Cloning Function Now Compatible with USB Memory: Data cloning function allows the user to copy settings and adjustment values from a Main projector to Sub projectors via LAN5 or USB memory device. This function reduces the time and effort required when setting up multiple projectors. (Note: Data-cloning is supported among models in the same series with the same resolution. Excludes passwords, projector ID, and network settings.)

  • Smart Projector Control App for Smooth Installation: Smart Projector Control app6 allows you to control the projector from a smartphone. By scanning the QR code7 displayed on the OSD menu screen or Information Monitor and connecting to wireless LAN, switching input signals and other functions can be performed from a mobile device. In addition to being able to control up to 64 devices simultaneously, it also supports lens adjustment, test-pattern switching, and focus adjustment using your device's camera8 from a distance of 30 m9.

  • Geometric Adjustment Corrects Trapezoidal Distortion and Curved Screens: With built-in Geometric Adjustment, various distortions on the screen can be corrected via remote control. In addition to trapezoidal distortion resulting from angled projection, Curved Screen Correction fixes distortion caused by projection onto curved surfaces. Corner Correction allows the user to specify four screen corners, such as the upper right and lower right, for correction. Screen proportions can be maintained and corrections can be saved as data.

  • Free Grid Enables Pinpoint Correction of Local Distortion: In addition to built-in Geometric Adjustment function, Free Grid allows pinpoint correction of local distortion within the screen. Grids between 2 x 2 and 17 x 17 lines can be selected to allow point-by-point correction, or batch correction by specifying vertical and horizontal lines. Correction data is maintained even after changing the number of grids or points, allowing smooth transition from basic to detailed correction. This convenient function allows adjustment of special screens, such as irregular or uneven wall surfaces, with the remote control.

  • Pre-activated Upgrade Kits for Geometry Manager Pro Software (NEW): For advanced screen adjustment, the PT-MZ11KL features Geometry Manager Pro software10 which expands built-in functions and enables adjustment from a PC. In addition to the standard functions included in the software, the projector has built-in upgrade kits that allow access to all functions without license activation. It offers unparalleled smoothness to reduce labor-intensive adjustment with camera-based11 geometric distortion correction, edge-blending, color-matching, stacking, and automatic adjustment of brightness and black levels.

  • Black Level Correction to Match Screen Shape (NEW): With conventional black level correction, only the width and angle of the black border are specified for correction, making edge-blending on curved screens difficult. To solve this problem, the PT-MZ11KL is equipped with a function that allows the shape of black borders to be adjusted to match the screen shape. Using up to 17 points, flexible black level correction is possible even on curved screens, enhancing the sense of cohesion in multi-screen applications.

  • Remote Preview LITE for Remote Confirmation of Images (NEW): With Remote Preview LITE12, you can check input images in advance even when it's not possible to project content, such as outdoors during the daytime or during performance rehearsals. When your PC and the projector are connected to the network, you can use a web browser or Multi Monitoring & Control Software to display thumbnail images of the input video. Check content even when the shutter is in use or the projector is in Standby13 to quickly identify any problems between the source device and the projector for faster recovery.

Other Features

  • Detail Clarity Processor 4 Improves Dimensionality and Sharpness: Panasonic Connect’s unique image quality correction circuitry reproduces details more clearly and sharply. It analyzes video signal frequencies in each scene and adjusts for optimal sharpness based on information extracted from the signal. Compared to conventional image processing technology, this system reproduces images with an even more natural and three-dimensional feel.
  • Supports 4K Signal Input: Uncompressed 4K/60p input signals14 are supported via HDMI® or DIGITAL LINK. Since no external devices such as converters are required, 4K signals can be processed smoothly. This eliminates the need for re-encoding when the projector is used with other 4K-compatible equipment, making projection with 4K signals simple and efficient.
  • Lens Lineup is Compatible with AFO (Active Focus Optimizer): A variety of optional lenses (eight models in total) are available to support a range of screen sizes between 80 and 600 inches, allowing you to select the optimal lens for your projection needs. These lenses are equipped with a temperature sensor and automatically correct focus in conjunction with the projector’s AFO16 function. This technology maintains a sharp image regardless of the brightness of the content, eliminating need for manual focus adjustment. Of course, powered lens-shift and zoom adjustment is also supported via remote control or Smart Projector Control app16.
  • Compatible with Ultra-Short-Throw Zoom Lens for Space-Saving Installation: ET-EMU100 Ultra-Short-Throw Zoom Lens has a throw ratio of 0.330–0.353:1 and a screen size range of 100–400 inches, and enables large-screen projection even from tight installation spaces. With no gap (offset area) between the ceiling and the screen, ET-EMU100 eliminates need for adjustment and expands the range of visual expression by supporting the zoom function despite its ultra-short focus.
