- Optional wireless projection capability
Meet the World’s Smallest and Lightest 4,500–6,000 lumens Laser Projector Series*1
Flexibility defines the PT-VMZ60 Series, the world’s lightest LCD laser projectors*1 developing up to 6,000 lm from a 7.2 kg (15.87 lbs) body. Carry it easily from room to room and let 1.6x zoom and Vertical/Horizontal Lens-Shift perfectly align large-format pictures on screen in spaces big or small. Easy setup is invaluable for permanent installation, where DIGITAL LINK*2 and 4K signal input*3 simplify integration. As a SOLID SHINE Laser projector, light-source operation extends to 20,000 hours*4 with bright color maintained for longer. Designed for tomorrow to work hard today, the PT-VMZ60 Series is the smarter investment.
Vivid Images in Bright Environments
SOLID SHINE Laser phosphor drive with advanced LCD optical engine projects bright, vivid, and detailed images regardless of artificial light levels in the room. Text is finely resolved, while graphics and video retain high color saturation and contrast for immersive viewing.
High Brightness from a Compact Body
Deploy up to 6,000 lm*1 of brightness from a projector weighing just 7.2 kg (15.87 lbs), currently the smallest and lightest LCD laser projector series in the world*2. High brilliance makes pictures pop even under the glare of interior lights, making projection more engaging than ever.
*1 For the PT-VMZ60/VMW60. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2012 international standards. Value is average of all products when shipped.
*2 For LCD Laser projectors in the 5,000–6,000-lumens-class or higher (PT-VMZ40 excluded) as of March 2019.
No Light-Source Replacement for 20,000 Hours*
Laser light-source operation extends up to 20,000 hours*, lowering maintenance cost, labor, and waste when compared to lamp-based alternatives. Organizations can slim down spare-part inventories and minimize downtime.
* Around this time, light output will have decreased by approximately 50 %. IEC62087: 2008 Broadcast contents, NORMAL Mode, Dynamic Contrast [2], under conditions with 30 °C (86 °F), 700 m (2,297 ft) above sea level, and 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter. Estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depending on environment.
High 3,000,000:1* Contrast
High-precision digital laser light output modulation achieves 3,000,000:1* dynamic contrast while minimizing power consumption. High-contrast performance adds depth, dimensionality, and realism to video, defining details in shadows even when bright and dark scenes frequently interchange.
* All white/all black. PICTURE MODE: DYNAMIC, DYNAMIC CONTRAST: [1].
1.6x Zoom Lens and Lens Shift Function
The 1.6x zoom lens with flexible 1.09–1.77:1 throw-ratio enables large-format projection from close up or far away from the screen: ideal for permanent installation in large or small rooms. Wide-range Vertical/Horizontal Lens-Shift aligns the image to fit the projection surface in moments. This is handy when the projection position is too high, too low, or off-center.
Supports 4K signal input*1
The PT-VMZ60 Series supports 4K/30p signal input*1 via HDMI® or DIGITAL LINK*2 terminals, enabling seamless integration into existing or planned 4K-ready system infrastructure.
*1 Supports signals up to 4K/30p. A signal with different resolution is converted to the number of display dots. PT-VMZ60/VMZ50/VMZ40: 1920 x 1200 dots, PT-VMW60/VMW50: 1280 x 800 dots. Applicable terminals: DIGITAL LINK terminal/HDMI terminal.
*2 PT-VMZ40 does not feature a DIGITAL LINK terminal.
