Panasonic PT-RZ21K 3-Chip DLP™ Projector (1920×1200)

RZ21K combines 3-Chip DLP™ imaging with SOLID SHINE Laser Phosphor technology to give stunning image quality. Solid-state laser light sources and specially engineered heat-resistant phosphor wheels work together with three discrete DLP™ modules (R/G/B) for high brightness, true colour accuracy, and high contrast in large venues: ideal for exhibitions, shows and other large events. The RZ21K is compatible with the latest colour space standards so you can be sure it will reproduce images accurately.

For photo and camera shoots

Three-chip projectors form red, green and blue at the same instant on three separate imaging devices, so there is no colour wheel and no sequential colour for a camera to catch mid-cycle. A single-chip DLP paints the primaries one after another, and a stills camera or a fast shutter records that as rainbow banding across the frame. It is the reason a three-chip machine is the one to specify for in-camera backdrops, projected sets, product and fashion shoots, and anything that has to hold up on camera.

Frame rate still matters. Match the camera shutter to a whole multiple of the projected frame period, or run the projector at a rate that suits the camera, and rolling bars go away. We set that up on site.
