Laser 3-Chip DLP, 50 000 lumens, native 4K resolution

The PT-RQ50K is the world’s lightes and most compact 50 000 lumens 3-Chip DLP^TM laser projector with ultra-sharp native 4K resolution (4096 x 2160). It offers new potential for creating transcendent experiences across live events and themed entertainment. A single RQ50K offers the same potential as multiple lower brightness projectors, saving on installation and set-up time.

Superb colour reproduction with red and blue lasers

Thanks to the deployment of separate red and blue SOLID SHINE laser/phosphor light sources, the RQ50K delivers an advanced level of colour reproduction, providing vibrant and immersive images that will engage and delight audiences.

High reliability with dual power and back up input

The projector is simple to install and use thanks to pre-installed geometry manager software and a new easy-read information LCD monitor. In addition to dual laser drives and backup video inputs, the RQ50K also features a redundant power supply to ensure total reliability.

Up to 20 000 hours’ maintenance-free operation

Thanks to further improvements to Panasonic’s unique SOLID SHINE Laser cooling system, a hermetically sealed, dust-resistant optical block and long lasting engine with filter-less design. The RQ50K series can achieve 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation, even in extreme environments.

Geometry Manager Pro, colour matching and edge blending

The RQ50K projector comes with Panasonic’s Geometry Manager Pro software pre-installed, which massively cuts set up time for projectors and significantly reduces installation work. Includes upgrade kits to enable geometric adjustment for 3D mapping (ET-UK20) and for auto-screen adjustment (ET-CUK10), enabling you to set up multiple projectors simultaneously, to save time and expense.
