Panasonic PT-F300E Projector User Manual


 
Brightness of 4,000/3,500 lumens
A high-performance optical system combines with a high-efficiency 250 W
UHM lamp to deliver a high brightness of 4,000 lumens (PT-F300NTE and
PT-F300E) or 3,500 lumens (PT-FW300NTE and PT-FW300E). All models
deliver crisp, bright images that are easy for the audience to see.
Daylight View 5 Gives Better Colour Perception for Easy
Viewing in Various Lighting Conditions
The PT-F300 Series features Panasonic’s Daylight
View 5 technology. Remarkable detail is provided
and perceived brightness and contrast are en-
hanced,*
3
so images appear crisp, vivid, 3-dimensional and easy to see even
in brightly lit rooms. Sharp edges are achieved with the “Edge Enhancer
Control” and “Gamma Curve Control,” while the perceived contrast is
improved by extending the white level. Daylight View 5 operates in combina-
tion with a built-in ambient light sensor that automatically detects room
brightness and adjusts operation accordingly.
Wide Images (PT-FW300NTE/FW300E)
The PT-FW300NTE and PT-FW300E feature wide-aspect LCD panels,
which allow native reproduction of WXGA (1,280 x 800) images from a PC.
This provides a visually powerful display of wide-screen images from DVD
sources, as well as wide-screen images from wide-aspect PCs, which are
now the mainstream.
Side-by-Side Function (PT-FW300NTE/FW300E)
The PT-FW300NTE and PT-FW300E can simultaneously display images
from two sources*
4
onto a single
screen. For example, you can
display a PC image on the right
and a video image on the left.
Taking advantage of the wide-
screen projection, this function
gives you a host of new applica-
tion possibilities to explore.
Wide 2x Zoom and Horizontal/Vertical Lens Shift Give
You More Installation Flexibility
Every model can project a 120-inch image from any distance between
3.6 m (11.8 feet) and 7.2 m (23.6 feet).*
5
In new installations, this lets you
accommodate a wide range of room sizes and shapes. And when replacing
existing projectors, the 2x zoom greatly enhances your ease of installation
and can reduce costs by permitting the use of existing mounting positions
and cablings.
Wired LAN: Web Browser Control/Monitoring, E-Mail
Message Alert
Anyone can operate a PT-F300 Series
projector by remote control or monitor its
status over a LAN network, because it is
all done using the computer’s familiar
web browser. Furthermore, the projector
sends an e-mail message to notify the
operator when an error has occurred, or a
lamp needs to be replaced.
Controlling and Monitoring Multiple Projectors
Panasonic’s original Multi Projector
Monitoring and Control freeware*
6
allows the user to control and moni-
tor up to 1,024 projectors via LAN
from a remote location. If a problem
occurs, an alarm message is sent to
the controlling/monitoring PC.
Abundant Connection Terminals
Designed for versatility, each projector comes equipped with a host of
connection terminals, including a DVI-D input*
7
and LAN terminal. Using
the serial input, you can continue to use the control commands of previous
Panasonic models with the Emulate function. This makes replacement quick
and easy. Upon preference, audio out terminal can still be used during
standby mode, so you can output audio without turning the projector on.
Excellent Standard Features Easy Installation and
Maintenance

When projecting images from a source with a wide aspect ratio onto a 4:3 screen, the pro-
jector reduces the image to use only 75% of the screen area. Also, wide-screen projection
makes it possible to display larger images where room for the screen height is limited.
