New Immersive Experiences Possible with New Panasonic UST Zoom Lenses

Panasonic’s two new Zero-Offset Ultra Short Throw (UST) Zoom lenses for its LCD Laser Projectors enables the location-based entertainment industry to bring audiences even closer to the action with visually immersive experiences. These lenses can be used to exploit every inch of display area with floor-to-ceiling, shadow-free images possible in even the most restricted installation spaces at museums, exhibitions and live events.

The Panasonic ET-EMU100 UST Zoom Lens for the PT-MZ16K Projector Series will be available in August 2021 and the ET-ELU20 UST Zoom Lens for the new PT-MZ880 Series will be available in September 2021.

Panasonic Corporation

Panasonic Corporation is a global leader developing innovative technologies and solutions for wide-ranging applications in the consumer electronics, housing, automotive, and B2B sectors. The company, which celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2018, operates 528 subsidiaries and 72 associated companies worldwide and reported consolidated net sales of 61.9 billion Euro (7.49 trillion yen) for the year ended March 31, 2020.

Panasonic Visual System Solutions

Panasonic Visual Systems Solutions is a Business Unit of Panasonic System Communications Company Europe (PSCEU). Headquartered in Wiesbaden (Germany), Panasonic Visual System Solutions offers a range of high brightness and reliable projectors as well as high-quality displays. From theatres to universities, museums to shopping centres, from live events to corporate installations and education, our projectors and professional displays are easy to use, maintain and are designed to last – delivering a lower lifetime cost.

Versatile Installation with Zero Screen Offset

The lens throw-ratio of 0.330–0.354:1 (WUXGA) produces a 200-inch image at a distance of about 1.42m. The distracting gap between the top of the image and the ceiling is eliminated to create greater visual impact. The projector can be mounted directly on the ceiling without the threat of lens-overhang obstructing the screen. In rear-projection, the projector can be located at the centre of the screen to distribute brightness evenly from the centre to corners and edges.

Flexible Adjustment Streamlines Workflow

Once in place, the projector is also easy to set-up with flexible adjustment. Images can be adjusted at the technician’s convenience using the lens’ 1.07x zoom and wide lens-shift range of Vertical: +50 %, -20 %, Horizontal: +20 %, -20 % (ET-EMU100) and Vertical: +50 %, -50 %, Horizontal: +24 %, -24 % (ET-ELU20).

Precision glass lens elements offer scratch protection and greater resistance to heat. The ET-EMU100 also has a temperature sensor to support the projector’s Active Focus Optimizer (AFO), which analyses temperature information and automatically adjusts focus to consistently keep images pin-sharp.

“Whatever the challenges of the space, these lenses and the latest Panasonic projectors can make viewers feel part of the visual content with a wide-screen, edge-blended projection that can fill a display area,” said Hartmut Kulessa, European Marketing Manager at Panasonic Business. “The combination of innovative design and installation flexibility offers a whole new range of visually creative options.”
