High Brightness and Superb Image Quality
1. High Brightness and Excellent Contrast
Despite its sleek and compact dimensions, the PT-EW730 produces a
class-leading 6,500 lm to 7,500 lm* of brightness with a contrast ratio of
5,000:1. The iris automatically adjusts to suit ambient lighting conditions.
WXGA Resolution for Lustrous Full HD Images (PT-EZ770ZE)
With native WXGA widescreen resolution, the PT-EW730Z/EW730ZL is capable of
displaying HD video from Blu-ray Disc and other sources in beautifully rich,
vivid detail.
The Daylight View Basic Funtion Ensures Clear Images Even in Brightly
Lit Rooms
Panasonics Daylight View Basic technology achieves sharp, easy-to-see images
by clearly reproducing the details in dark image areas, which were previously
difficult to see in brightly lit rooms. A built-in sensor measures the ambient
light, and the Daylight View Basic function adjusts the halftone color and
brightness level according to the surrounding illumination.
Colour Adjustment Function
A color adjustment function allows you to easily correct for slight
variations in the color reproduction range of individual units set up for
multiple projection, particularly in side-by-side configuration. Correction is
performed on 3 colors (R, G, B) or 7 colors (R, G, B, C, M, Y, W).
DICOM Simulation Mode*
This imaging mode is similar to DICOM part 14, which is a medical imaging
standard. It reproduces X-ray images with remarkable clarity.
Inorganic LCD Materials Maintain High Brightness and Image Quality
Longer
The optical block of the PT-EW730 projectors maintains a high level of
performance over time, due to the use of inorganic materials in the LCD panels
and polarizers, thus achieving a replacement cycle of 10,000 hours with high
brightness and excellent picture quality.
It also makes them the logical choice for a truly dependable LCD projector
system.
Flexible Installation and System Integration
DIGITAL LINK Translits Digital Signals up to 100m with a single
cable.
Equipped with a DIGITAL LINK terminal, the PT-EW730 allows transmission of
HDMI, uncompressed HD digital video, audio and control signals (Ethernet,
RS-232C) for up to 100 metres through a single CAT5e (STP) cable or higher. This
simplifies cabling and system upgrades, making it ideal for ceiling-mounted and
other permanent installations.
Optional ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box for Easy Setup
By combining the optional ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box, with its HDMI and
other input terminals, uncompressed HD digital video, audio and control signals
can be transmitted up to 100m over a single CAT5e (STP) cable or higher. It
allows projector connection with only one cable, making it ideal for
ceiling-mounted and other permanent installations. Also, because control signals
can be simultaneously transmitted, the ET-YFB100G input signal can easily be
switched with the wireless remote control that is included with the projector.
The projector can be controlled by either serial or LAN communication.
Also Supports Other Manufacturers' Peripheral Equipment
DIGITAL LINK is an original function added to technology based on the
transmission standards used in Crestron’s DigitalMedia 8G+, Extron’s XTP
Systems, etc. Signals from the ET-YFB100G can also be relayed to a non-DIGITAL
LINK-ready projector by using another manufacturer’s equipment based on the same
technology.*
* Input selection and other ET-YFB100G operations can be performed only when
connecting to a DIGITAL LINK compatible projector.
Flexible Installation
The wide adjustment range of the powered horizontal/vertical lens shift
function assures convenience and versatility during installation. It lets you
easily make adjustments with the remote control. The unit can also be rotated
360 degrees vertically. This means you can install it at any angle you want, to
accommodate different installation conditions.
A Wide Selection of Optional Lenses
Choose from a wide lineup of optional lenses for your system, including
short-throw, long-throw zoom and fixed-
throw lenses for rear projection use. The additional lenses make it easy to
adapt your projector to the installation site. The lenses attach and detach with
one-touch ease.
Easy Remote Monitoring and Control over a LAN
Web browser on a computer connected through a wired LAN system lets you
remotely operate projectors and check their status. An e-mail messaging function
can also notify you when a lamp needs replacement, and indicate the overall
projector status.
In addition, Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software is available for
monitoring and controlling multiple Panasonic projectors from a single PC.
The wired LAN terminal is compatible with PJLink™ (class1), an open protocol
that is used by many manufacturers, to enable integrated control of systems that
contain different brands of projectors.
Crestron Connected and AMX Device Discovery
The LAN terminal allows a computer connected to the network to use Crestron
Connected™ application software to manage and control system devices. Besides,
the AMX Device Discovery technology is built in the PT-EW730.
Mechanical Lens Shutter
The mechanical lens shutter completely blocks annoying light leakage when the
projector is on standby or temporarily not in use, such as during a meeting.
Corner Keystone Correction Enables Angled Projection
All you need to do is designate four points as the corners of the projected
image, and this function easily carries out horizontal and vertical keystone
correction.
Lens-Centered Design
A lens-centered, symmetrical design provides ease of installation,
eliminating the need for any special considerations when planning the
installation site.
Abundant Terminals, Including HDMI, DVI-D Input, and
DisplayPort
Extensive interfaces include HDMI and DVI-D input terminals, DisplayPort,
DIGITAL LINK and two sets of computer (RGB) input terminals.*
The serial terminal (RS-232C) has an Emulate function that lets you continue
using existing control systems when replacing previous Panasonic models. It is
also possible to output audio during Standby mode. This is convenient when
connecting an external audio system through the projector.
* Supports YPBPR (YCBCR) signals.
Built-in 10-W Speaker
The PT-EW730 projectors feature a high-output 10-watt monaural speaker that
produces a large sound volume without requiring external speakers.
Side-by-Side and P-in-P Function* for Effective Presentations and
Lectures
Two different image sources can be simultaneously displayed onto a single
screen. You can also switch to P-in-P (Picture-in-Picture) mode and display a
sub-window onto the main screen. The sub-window can be positioned anywhere on
the screen for more flexible and effective image presentations.
* This function is not effective for some source combinations.
Effective Theft Prevention with the Startup Logo
You can change the default Panasonic start up logo to any logo you want. A
new logo can be easily uploaded by connecting a computer to the PT-EW730 through
the LAN or serial connection by using the Logo Transfer Software*. An abundance
of other security measures are also included, such as a security bar, Key lock,
and Security Password. This is very effective for preventing theft.
* Still images that can be uploaded are limited to 1024 x 768 pixel bitmap
files. Also, the application will reduce the number of colors to 191.

Lower Maintenance and Running Costs
A Dust-Resistant Cabinet Design and an Eco Filter that Needs No
Replacement for 15,000 Hours
The cabinet is designed with a straight airflow path, from intake to exhaust.
The shielding of the lens section, where dust is likely to enter, has been
further improved to keep dust out. And the sealing performance of the air filter
unit and air intake duct has been increased to prevent the entry of dust from
the filter periphery, resulting in a highly dust-resistant structure.
The Eco Filter unit, which efficiently captures dust in the intake airflow
path, requires no replacement for up to15,000 hours.* This large, pleated Micro
Cut Filter (electrostatic filter) uses an ion effect to trap minute dust
particles, further raising the overall dust-trapping capability.
These features minimize the entry of dust into the optical block and maintain
brightness over a long period of time, while reducing the hassle of maintenance.
Also, in addition to achieving a long replacement cycle, the Eco Filter can be
washed with water** and reused as an environmental consideration.
* The usage environment affects the duration of the filter.
** When washing with water, please follow the procedures listed in the
operating instructions. Also, we recommend replacing the filter with a new one
after it has been washed and reused twice. If the filter is not sufficiently
clean after washing, replace it with a new one.
Lamp Replacement Cycle of up to 4,500hours*
The PT-EW730 projectors feature a lamp replacement cycle of up to 4,500
hours.*
This helps to lower operating costs by providing longer usage between lamp
replacements.
* This is the maximum value when the lamp power is set to Eco2. Increases in
the lamp on cycle or extended use with the lamp continuously turned on will
shorten the lamp replacement cycle. When the lamp power is set to Eco1, the lamp
replacement cycle is 4,000 hours and 3,000 hours when setting to Normal. The
usage environment affects the lamp replacement cycle.
Intelligent Lamp Control System Reduces Power Consumption
When the lamp power is set to Auto, the Intelligent Lamp Control system
automatically adjusts the lamp output in accordance with the brightness of the
projected image and reduces it by up to 58 %*. It also combines with color shift
correction, which corrects the shift in the color balance that occurs when the
lamp output drops. As a result, power consumption is effectively reduced while
excellent color reproduction is maintained.
* With the lamp power set to Auto.
Eco Management Functions
A number of functions are provided to reduce power consumption. They adjust
the brightness according to ambient light conditions, and reduce the lamp power
when there is no signal input. You can easily set the Eco Management functions
according to operating conditions by using the ECO button on the remote control.
Easy Lamp and Air Filter Replacement
For easy maintenance, you can replace the filter from the side and the lamp
from the top of the projector.
The filter and lamp are easily replaced even after the projector is installed
on the ceiling.
Quiet 29-dB* Design Does Not Interrupt Meetings or Classes
The quiet design keeps noise levels down to 29 dB,* so the sound of the
cooling fan is hardly noticeable. This helps the audience to keep their
attention on the speech when someone is giving a presentation or on the screen
images during quiet scenes.
