High-Visibility Images in Bright Rooms

Introducing the World's Smallest and Lightest LCD Laser Projector

Weighing just 6.5 kg (14.33 lbs), PT-VMZ51 Series is the smallest and lightest LCD laser projector in its class with up to 5200 lm from a compact, easy-to-manage body. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry from room to room and is simple to install on the ceiling. The projector's smooth styling and quiet operation harmonize with your interior space, blending in and keeping attention focused on the presentation.

Bright, High-Visibility Images in Well-Lit Spaces

Because office and classroom projectors are used with the room lights on and window blinds open, they need high light output to produce a bright image. Thanks to a carefully refined optical engine, PT-VMZ51 Series generates up to 5200 lm of brightness, more than most professional projectors of a similar size. Dim, washed-out projections are history: expect big, bright, vivid pictures in bright environments to stimulate viewer engagement with the lesson or meeting content.

High 3,000,000:1 Dynamic Contrast

Input signals are analyzed frame by frame to regulate light output for the best contrast performance in every scene. As well as accurately reproducing pictures that contain a mix of dark and bright hues, Dynamic Contrast is more energy efficient than other technologies and can be optimized to suit the content or the room's lighting. The projector's high 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio provides better detail definition in shadows with deeper blacks, brighter whites, and more natural skin tones for a better sense of depth and definition.

Daylight View Basic Optimizes Image Quality in Bright Rooms

Daylight View Basic enhances image sharpness by clarifying detail definition in dark areas of the picture, which can be challenging to see in bright light. A sensor measures the amount of ambient light in the room and optimizes halftone color and brightness for best results according to surrounding illumination levels.

Power Consumption Reduced by 20 %

PT-VMZ51 Series uses about 20 % less energy than the previous series. Efficiency is further increased, and brightness is optimized to suit ambient light levels by pressing the remote control's ECO button. Adopting energy-efficient Panasonic projection in your meeting rooms or learning spaces helps you to achieve CSR environmental policy objectives while reducing waste.

Reduce Interruptions and Callout Frequency

In typical office and classroom environments, the projector's reusable ECO Filter doesn't need replacement until about 20,000 hours. That equates to about ten years of service, assuming about 40 hours of projection per working week. If it's necessary to maintain the filter before then, it can be washed and reused up to two times, reducing waste and parts inventories and contributing to your CSR environmental policy objectives.

Installation Flexibility Adapts Projection to Any Space

Versatile 1.6x Zoom with Wide-Range V/H Lens-Shift

Built-in 1.6x optical zoom (1.09-1.77:1) supports projection from close range or from a distance, enhancing projector location flexibility and bringing large, easy-to-see images to rooms of different sizes and shapes. V/H Lens-Shift function offers +44 % to 0 % Vertical adjustment, useful when projecting from a high ceiling, and +/-20 % Horizontal adjustment to correctly place the image when projecting off-axis to the screen.

New Digital Zoom Extender Function

One consideration when updating your school or business projectors is: will the replacement projectors fit the existing mount positions on the ceiling? In some cases, the throw distance required to produce an image at the desired size might exceed the projector's optical zoom range. Panasonic answers the problem with a new Digital Zoom Extender function equipped for the first time on the PT-VMZ51 Series. It provides a convenient way to fit the image to your screen beyond the optical zoom range, reducing the need to relocate your projector mounts and potentially saving you time, money, and hassle on your next refreshment cycle.

Easy Operation with 2x CEC Command-Compatible HDMI Inputs

HDMI inputs are compatible with control signals sent via a CEC command compatible-component, giving you limited control over the projector using the compatible source device's remote control. The projector power-ups from Standby and commences playback automatically on command from a compatible player, such as optional Wireless Presentation System PressIT, when connected to the projector via HDMI.

Supports WUXGA Input-Signals via HDMI and DIGITAL LINK

PT-VMZ51 Series accepts WUXGA video input signals via DIGITAL LINK and HDMI terminals. This is a significant advantage when integrating the projectors into existing WUXGA-ready system infrastructure where WUXGA signals are distributed to a network of display endpoints with different screen resolutions without having to use an external converter or to reencode the source.
