Description

Eco-conscious Design Includes Recycled Materials – The light, compact, and eco-friendly PT-MZ682 offers remarkable efficiency improvements over the previous series and is holistically engineered to reduce environmental impact, including using 10%* recycled resins for the main projector unit. *By weight of the total weight of plastic parts in the projector main unit. Excludes projection lenses, printed circuit boards, labels, cables, connectors, electronic components, optical components, ESD components, EMI component adhesives, and coatings.

Enhanced Brightness with Lower Consumption – Refinements to the optical engine yield higher brightness over every model in the previous series while significantly enhancing energy efficiency. Save on energy costs and reduce the carbon footprint of every unit in your fleet.

Auto Power On Function – Like your PC, Panasonic projectors “sleep” after a certain idle period and shut down when this Quick Startup period expires to save energy. If playback resumes after the Quick Startup period elapses, you must manually power on the projector again. To avoid this, some users disable the Quick Startup timer or keep the projector running with the shutter on, wasting energy. PT-MZ682 solves the issue with Auto Power On. This new function powers the projector on and resumes playback automatically when an input signal is detected, even if the unit is shut down. Presenters can pause and resume their program without significant interruption, and administrators reap energy savings across their schools or businesses. Note: Settings cannot be made in the following cases: When [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO] or when [IN STANDBY MODE] is set to [ON] in the [AUDIO SETTINGS] menu. Auto Power On is supported when the input signal is transmitted via HDMI™ or COMPUTER IN terminals.

Lamp-free Laser Saves Resources and Waste – PT-MZ682 features a SOLID SHINE Laser light source that does not require maintenance until 20,000 hours*. By contrast, comparable lamp projectors need several lamp changes in an equivalent period, adding to maintenance costs, labor, downtime, and waste. Furthermore, laser projectors start up faster and can be switched off via the room breaker. They reach full brightness almost instantly, maintain a consistent and uniform image for longer, and are inherently more reliable than lamp-based designs. *Around this time, the light output will have decreased by approximately 50 %. IEC62087: 2008 Broadcast Contents, NORMAL/QUIET Mode, Picture Mode [DYNAMIC], Dynamic Contrast [2], temperature 30 ℃ (86 °F), elevation 700 m (2,297 ft) with 0.15 mg/m3 of airborne particulate matter. Panasonic recommends a checkup at the point of purchase after about 20,000 hours. Light-source lifetime may be reduced depending on environmental conditions. Replacement of parts other than the light source and filter may be required in a shorter period. Estimated maintenance time varies depending on the environment.
Note: Lamp replacement cycle is approximate and varies by model.

Less Maintenance, Less Waste, Less Downtime – ECO Filter includes a Micro-Cut Filter that collects minute dust particles with an electrostatic effect. With the dust-resistant projector cabinet design, ECO Filter enables low maintenance and long-term use with less downtime. Filter replacement is recommended at 20,000 hours*1 when used in typical office and classroom environments. If it’s necessary to maintain the filter before then, it can be washed and reused up to two times*2, reducing wastage, cost, and labor. *1 Filter replacement cycles (measured values) are shown for environments with 0.15 mg/m3 of airborne particulate matter. The filter replacement cycle varies depending on the usage conditions and usage environment.
*2 When washing the filter with water, please follow the procedures listed in the operating instructions. Replacement is recommended after it has been washed and reused twice or if it is not sufficiently clean after washing.

Multi-laser Drive Engine – Ensures stable projection in the unlikely event that light-source problems occur. The PT-MZ682 is equipped with multiple modules consisting of many laser diodes. If one of the elements malfunctions, Failover Circuitry is activated so that projection can continue with minimal brightness reduction. This gives your presenters the confidence to work without fear of equipment failure in the middle of a presentation.

Outstanding Image Quality in Well-lit Spaces – Office and classroom projectors are normally used with the room lights on, so they need high brightness, powerful contrast, and accurate color to cut through with a clearly visible image. The PT-MZ682 has a refined optical engine that boosts light output over the previous series, Digital Light Control to optimize Dynamic Contrast performance, and Daylight View Basic to adjust image quality according to ambient room light. The result is well-balanced brightness and color with sharp and comfortable visibility, even in well-lit environments.

High 3,000,000:1*1 Dynamic Contrast – Input signals are analyzed frame by frame to regulate light output for the best contrast performance in every scene. In addition to accurately reproducing complex images that contain a mix of dark and bright hues, Dynamic Contrast is more energy efficient than previous technologies. The projector’s high 3,000,000:11 contrast ratio enhances detail definition in shadows with deeper blacks, brighter whites, and more natural skin tones for an improved sense of depth and definition. *1 Full On/Full Off, when [PICTURE MODE] is set to [DYNAMIC] and [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] is set to [1] or [2]. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.

Daylight View Basic – Is a dynamic adjustment technology that enhances image sharpness by clarifying detail definition in dark areas of the picture, which can be difficult to see in bright light. A sensor measures the ambient light in the room and optimizes sharpness, halftone color, contrast, and brightness for best results according to the room’s illumination.

Detail Clarity Processor 4 – Unique image correction circuitry reproduces details more clearly and sharply. It analyzes video signal frequencies in each scene and adjusts for optimal sharpness based on information extracted from the signal. Compared to conventional image processing technology, this system reproduces images with an even more natural and dimensional feel and also works to sharpen text edges for more comfortable legibility.

Quiet Operation – With lessons, meetings, and other events often including remote participants, projector noise mustn’t distract from the presentation. Quiet projection helps people focus, whether in the room or participating remotely. PT-MZ682 includes a Quiet Mode enabling whisper-quiet 32 dB (NORMAL/ECO Mode), 25 dB (QUIET Mode) operation, helping these stylish projectors blend unobtrusively into the background to keep attention focused on the presentation.

Built-in Geometric Adjustment – Geometric Adjustment is a suite of built-in functions that allow installers to correct distortion when images are projected at an angle or onto curved screens and irregular shapes. Correction extends to spherical, cylindrical, and complex screen shapes without needing a connected PC. Maintain Aspect Ratio and Independent Corner Adjustment simplify correction. At the same time, the ability to save image-adjustment data is useful whenever correction settings need to be disabled and reapplied and for saving work progress as an adjustment profile is created.

Contrast Sync and Shutter Sync – Contrast Sync unifies Dynamic Contrast values among multiple projectors connected via serial in/out terminals. This function increases the uniformity of images in a multi-screen system and reduces edge-blend visibility for a seamless widescreen image. Shutter Sync, meanwhile, synchronizes shutter on/off timing for immersive fade-in/fade-out effects.

Integrates with Your 4K Audio Visual System – PT-MZ682 accepts 4K input signals via HDMI™ and DIGITAL LINK connections. This is handy if you plan to distribute 4K content from a PC to various display endpoints with different screen resolutions. You don’t need to manually re-encode the video content to suit this projector series or use an external video converter, reducing system complexity. Note: 4K input signals are converted to the projector’s resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels) upon projection. YPBPR 4:2:0 format only for 4K/60p and 4K/50p signals input via DIGITAL LINK.

Three HDMI Inputs Support CEC Commands – All three HDMI™ inputs are compatible with control signals sent via a CEC-command-compatible component, giving you limited control over the projector using the compatible source device’s remote control. When connected to the projector via HDMI™, the projectors power up from Standby and commence playback automatically on command from a CEC-compatible player, such as the optional Wireless Presentation System PressIT. *Wireless Presentation System PressIT sold separately. Availability may vary by country or region. Note: Depending on the connected CEC command-compatible device, the link control may not operate normally.
