Compact 40,000 Lumen Design for Efficient Workflow

Delivering 40,000 lm¹ from a body size equivalent to the RQ35K2/RQ35K Series, the RQ45K Series streamlines transport, installation, and setup logistics. Compatibility with existing frames, flight cases, and optional lenses makes upgrading economical. A new 5-inch color LCD monitor simplifies pre-show video checks and real-time status monitoring, while anIntel® SDM standard-compatible expansion slot² and 12G-SDI input³ ensure seamless system integration.

Enhanced Reliability in Harsh Environments

For lasting reliability in demanding environments, key circuit boards feature a UV coating to inhibit corrosion from fumes and salt, while a new modular board layout dramatically improves maintenance efficiency. Proprietary Dynamic Digital Control and a dedicated cooling system stabilize red laser performance under temperature fluctuations to maintain consistent color output. Multi-Laser Drive Engine and Backup Input help prevent show interruptions even in the event of equipment failure.

Spectacular 4K Visuals

RZ45K, the brightest WUXGA (1920 × 1200 px) Panasonic projector. Its compact and lightweight build ensures easy transport and seamless integration into any workflow. Versatile Intel SDM-compatible slot and Multi-Laser Drive Engine, the RZ45K delivers 40,000 lumens for vivid, true-to-life color.

It features a UV-coated circuit board that offers effective protection against dust and moisture. This robust design makes it an excellent choice for installations in challenging conditions.

Advanced technologies like Gradation Smoother and Perfect Black Level Correction makes the RZ45K the ideal solution for any multi-unit projection setup.

Footnote Description	This is the value when the Zoom Lens (Model No.: ET-D3LES250) is used. The value varies depending on the lens. When [OPERATING MODE] is set to [NORMAL]. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with American National Standards Institute standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped. Around this time, light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level ([PICTURE MODE] is set to [DYNAMIC], [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] is set to [2]). Estimated time until light output declines to50 % varies depending on environment. 4K signals are converted to WUXGA (1920 x 1200 pixels) only for the PT-RZ44K. Optional AJ-WM50 Series Wireless Module is not compatible with IPv6. Measurement, measuring conditions, andmethod of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. On-mode power consumption measured at 25 °C (77 °F) operating temperature at an altitude of 700 m (2,297 ft). Average value. May differ depending on the actual unit. Do not install the projector at an altitude of 4 200 m (13 780') or higher above sea level. (Altitude of 4 200 m (13 780') above sea level is the maximum height that the performance of this projector is guaranteed.) Using the projector in a location where the altitude is too high or the ambient temperature is too high may reduce the life of the components or result in malfunctions. Upper limit of the operating environment temperature varies depending on the altitude above sea level. When using the projector at an altitude between 0 m (0') and 1 400 m (4 593') above sea level: 0 °C (32 °F) to 45 °C (113 °F) When using the projector at an altitude between 1 400 m (4 593') and 4 200 m (13 780') above sea level: 0 °C (32 °F) to 40 °C (104 °F) Do not use the projector in a location where the ambient temperature exceeds 40 °C (104 °F) regardless of the altitude when the optional Wireless Module (Model No.: AJ‑WM50 Series) is attached to the projector.
