Panasonic PT-FRQ50 5200-Lumen 4K UHD Laser DLP Projector (White)

Both Quad Pixel Drive and Rich Color Enhancer are core imaging technologies from Panasonic that help to deliver stunning 4K images with optimal brightness and color. Quad Pixel Drive helps resolution by rapidly shifting Full HD pixels vertically and horizontally to achieve 4K-like results.

Rich Color Enhancer is color optimization via two user-selectable mods. Dynamic Mode will offer you brighter images by balancing brightness and color in well-lit environments. Standard/Graphic Mode optimizes color reproduction by adjusting the color-wheel timing to expand the red-channel output. This is designed to product more natural and vibrant reds, as well as deep, rich, and accurate colors that are faithful to the source.

Without a PC, you can use the included remote control to fix projected image distortion caused by irregular surfaces and objects. A grid is overlaid onto the projected image, allowing you to more intuitively make adjustments. To assist in this, you can choose from 2×2, 4×4, 8×8, or 16×16 grids, you can change the grid and control-point colors for better contrast on your projected image, all while your progress is being saved automatically.

Any image adjustments that you make can be previewed on a laptop screen, so you’re ready to go prior to a performance or presentation. It even works if the projector is in standby mode.

Thanks to robust construction and its laser light source, the PT-FRQ50 is capable of being used in prolonged installations that require constant, 24/7 operation. Construction that features filterless head-pipe-based cooling and a hermetically-sealed optical block to protect the lens from ambient dust. Together they equate to approximately 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation.

4K DIGITAL LINK lets you conveniently transmit your content over long distances, requiring only a single Ethernet connection at the installation location. You can transmit uncompressed 4K/60p footage and control commands via CAT 5e or higher from up to 164′ away. If 10/100Base-T is all that’s available, you can utilize that for control signals, freeing up 4K DIGITAL LINK for only video content. Ethernet connectivity also gives you the ability to clone a projector’s settings for larger installations, letting you copy settings to up to 99 other projectors.

This technology limits brightness loss if a single diode fails in the projector. Also, the multi-laser drive engine provides redundant laser modules to maintain image quality, for if a module fails, which is essential for installations or important presentations that cannot be interrupted.

Six levels of user-selectable light adjustment to combat the effect of ambient light changes, boosting color impact, sharpness, gamma curves, brightness, and more.

This feature modulates the light output to achieve a high contrast image with less power. Also, digital frame-by-frame scene-linking can ensure precise light output adjustment for accurate contrast

When using multiple projectors, sensors detect color and brightness on screen and then automatically calibrate the projector for a more uniform multi-screen image.

Free AV is Panasonic’s management software for Windows that lets you control this projector, and up to 2048 display devices of any brand over a LAN. It can also provide maintenance reminders, alerts, and more.
