Big Pictures with Fewer Shadows

Share large 80–120-inch images in rooms of any size, from small huddle rooms to hybrid classrooms where installation space on the ceiling is limited. The compact ultra-short-throw design can deliver an 80-inch image from a distance of about 1 cm (1/3 in.)1. Since the lens is forward of the presenter, shadowing and dazzling are reduced so everyone can communicate comfortably. The large picture and detailed WUXGA resolution make it ideal for displaying small text.

1 Value is the distance from the projector body to the wall.

Stylish Design Harmonizes with Your Space

The projector’s minimal screen offset makes it a practical choice for rooms with low ceilings, where it installs almost flush to the wall. Available in black or white, its integrated body has no protrusions to spoil a clean, elegant style that harmonizes with any interior design. Installed in an office, classroom, or museum, this unobtrusive projector fades from the group’s awareness so attention remains focused on the presentation.

Ultra-Quiet Design for Hybrid Spaces

CMZ50’s heat-resistant light source significantly reduces exhaust noise and unwanted distractions when people are seated close to the projector. Quiet running also improves the audibility of conversations during hybrid lessons and meetings by reducing background noise. In Quiet Mode, its operating noise is just 25 dB1, about the same apparent loudness as rustling leaves. In fact, with a perceived loudness that is less than one third2 that of a comparable lamp-based projector, CMZ50 keeps everyone alert and focused on the presentation.

1 34 dB in NORMAL/ECO Mode.
2 Based on a comparison between PT-CMZ50 (25 dB) and PT-TW381R (30 dB) in QUIET Mode. The human ear perceives changes in sound intensity on a logarithmic scale. The perceived difference in sound volume between the two products was calculated using the following formula: Perceived difference = 10 ^ [(dB1 - dB2) / 10].

Smooth, Crisp Details at WUXGA

WUXGA (1920 x 1200) LCD panels improve text definition and clarify details for a more insightful and engaging presentation. Text edges are smooth, sharp, and easy to read. Documents and images are clearly reproduced, allowing stress-free viewing of documents and images. In addition, content from various devices can be projected at the same aspect ratio.

High Brightness and Contrast for Impressive Visual Impact

Projectors in classrooms, offices, and museums must be powerful enough to cut through bright ambient light. CMZ50 delivers up to 5,200 lm1 of brightness for sharp, well-saturated pictures in bright environments. Dynamic Contrast uses scene-linking technology to analyze each video frame and digitally adjust light output according to the contrast requirements of each scene. Its high 3,000,000:12 contrast ratio improves text legibility and defines detail in shadows even in brightly lit spaces.

Detail Clarity Processor 4

Proprietary circuitry analyzes individual video frames to clarify areas of each image containing fine details. Algorithms extract data from four frequency bands of the signal, sharpening outlines, correcting contours, and reducing ringing noise for increased text definition and clearer detail resolution in video and graphics.

Digital Zoom Extender and Digital Image Shift

If it’s not possible to install your CMZ50 projector in the optimal position, the Digital Zoom Extender and Digital Image Shift functions may be useful. In addition to digitally adjusting the image size so it fits on the screen, you can digitally shift the projection by up to ±10% vertically and up to ±10% horizontally. The image position and size can be flexibly changed to fit your screen without touching the projector.

Equipped with Various Screen Correction Functions

When projecting obliquely, you can correct any resulting image distortion using screen adjustment functions accessed via the remote control. These include 4-Corner Correction and Vertical/Horizontal Keystone Correction, which resolve distortion based on the projection angle, and Curved Screen Correction1, which reduces image distortion when projecting onto curved surfaces such as a curved blackboard or thin board.

 

Reduces Environmental Impact, from Unboxing to EOL

Make the change to eco-friendly Panasonic projection and reduce your organization’s impact on the environment. The CMZ50’s watts-per-lumen efficiency is about 31%1 better than comparable lamp-based projectors, with a maximum power consumption of 325 W (AC 100–120 V) or 310 W
(AC 200–240 V). You can improve energy efficiency further by projecting in ECO or QUIET mode. There are no more lamp disposal hassles, and the filter can be washed and reused twice2, making CMZ50 an eco-friendly choice from unboxing through to your next refreshment cycle.

CEC Command-Compatible HDMI™ Makes Life Easy

Both of the projector’s HDMI™ inputs are compatible with CEC commands1 to enable use with fewer remote controllers. The projector will automatically switch on, play your content, and switch off when it detects these commands from a compatible source device such as a
Blu-ray™ player, media streamer, or optional Wireless Presentation System PressIT2.

1 Depending on the connected CEC command-compatible device, the link control may not operate normally.
2 Wireless Presentation System PressIT is sold separately. Availability may vary by country or region. For more information, please click here.

Project Wirelessly from Your Smartphone or Laptop
