1. Do not install the projector in locations that are subject to excessive\
 water, humidity, steam, or oily smoke. Doing so may result in fire, malfunction, or electric shock.2. The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use.3. The projector uses of high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions.• Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operation.• Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm or more around t\
he projector’s exhaust openings.• Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another for the\
 purpose of multiple (stacked) projection.When stacking projector units, be sure to provide the amount of space indicated between them. These space requirements also apply to installation where only one projector unit is operating at one time and \
the other unit is used as a backup.• If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, temperature of the air surrounding the projector must be between 0°C\
 and 35°C. Also make sure the projector’s intake and exhaust openings are not blocked. Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is not sucked into the intake.

4. If the projector is to be operated continuously 24 hours a day, use the multi-lamp optical system’s alternating lamp operation (lamp changer) function. The projector can be operated continuously 24 hours a day in four-lamp operation mode, but it will automatically operate with three lamps for 8 hours of the 24 hours.5. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is \
operated repeatedly for short periods.• The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illumi\
nate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.6. Because the ET-D75LE5 is a fixed short-throw lens, the lens shift function cannot be used with it.7. Due to natural characteristics of lamps, screen brightness may vary (flicker). This is not an indication of faulty lamp performance.

Lamp replacement cycle and brightness guidelines
* The values above are maximum values when all 4 lamps are replaced simultaneously, and when they are used in cycles of being turned on for 3.5 hours and off for 0.5 hour.When the lamps are turned on and off more frequently, the lamp replacement cycle is shortened. (It is recommended that the mechanical shutter be used to turn images off for a short period.)
Detail Clarity Processor: Signal frequency is extracted realtime and necessary sharpness is applied at varying degrees for natural, life-like images.
Conventional sharpness control: Sharpness is applied uniformly, which can cause a halo or ring effect.

New AC Lamp and Multi-Lamp System
Panasonic’s innovative 4-lamp optical system uses newly developed 300-watt AC lamps to deliver remarkable 12,000-lumen brightness. The 4-lamp system means superb reliability too – the projector keeps working even if one lamp goes out. A full 24 hours of continuous operation is possible in Lamp Relay mode.
Detail Clarity Processor
Exclusive to Panasonic, this new image-processing circuit analyzes 
the video signal frequency range for each scene by extracting data on the distribution of high, mid, and low-frequency components, and brings out fine details accordingly. The resulting images have a more natural, three dimensional appearance with crisp, clear detail.
Dynamic Iris
Panasonic’s Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a remarkable 5,000:1 contrast without lowering the 12,000-lumen brightness. It helps reproduce deeper, richer blacks 
and gives images more detailed textures.
Full 10-Bit Processing
Use of a full 10-bit picture processing system helps achieve smooth tonal expression. Complexions and other flesh tones look natural and true-to-life, with accurate gradation.
Dual Link HD-SDI Signal Support (Optional)
Just add an ET-MD100SD4 expansion board and the projector supports Dual Link HD-SDI signals. HD-SDI signals use two cables to achieve twice the colour resolution of the conventional single link system.
3D Colour Management System
Some people like to view large-screen images from relatively close up to get the maximum viewing impact. But at close range, the colours perceived by the human eye tend to differ slightly from the original colours. The 3D Colour Management System solves this problem by enabling fine adjustment of colours so they appear faithful to the originals when projected onto a large screen.
System Daylight View
Screen visibility is lower when a projector is used during daylight 
hours or in a room with lights on. Panasonic’s System Daylight View circuit compensates for these brighter environments, so that images are crisp, clear and easy to see no matter what the conditions.

Adapts to a Variety of Environments
Universal Design
• Edge blendingThe edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their luminance controlled. For example, the adjoining edges in a 2-screen system can be blended to create a smooth, seamless image.
• Colour matchingWhen several units are used together, this function corrects for slight variations in the colour reproduction range of individual projectors. The PC software assures easy, accurate control. Independent, 7-axis adjustment (red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, white) ensures high precision colours and minimizes colour variations.
• Multi-screen processorThe PT-D12000E can project large, multi-screen images without any additional equipment. Up to 100 units (10 x 10) can be edge-blended at a time.
* Image uniformity over the entire screen may be adversely affected by the type of screen used or the lamp mode selected. Also, due to differences in the manner in which the lamp brightness decreases with time, some fluctuation may appear in overall screen brightness. When this occurs, the unit must be readjusted, which is a service that is offered for a fee.For details, please contact the store where you purchased the product, or a sales representative.
Excellent System Functions
Lens Shift
The optical axis can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally by a remote control, giving you greater setup ease and flexibility.
A Wide Selection of Lenses
Choose from a wide lineup of 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 lens cover opens completely for easier mounting.

Auto Cleaning Robot
Panasonic’s Auto Cleaning Robot automatically cleans the air filter to help keep the projector running smoothly. When the projector is switched on,*1 the robot uses a brush to clear away any dust adhering to the filter, helping to prevent clogs that can impair operation or cause malfunctions. The projector can be used for around 2,000 hours before the filter needs to be cleaned, making it a good choice for installation in tight spaces or for ceiling-mounted applications. Also, the Micro-Cut Air Filter traps particles as small as 10 microns.*2 This greatly reduces the amount of dust entering the projector, helping maintain high brightness and stable operation.
A Host of Functions to Assure Stable, Long-Time Operation
High Reliability & Stability
*1 Cleaning time can be set by a timer from 00:00 to 23:50 in 10-minute intervals, or controlled manually. The cleaning process is done only once per 24 hours. When the set time is reached, the cleaning process will begin if the projector is on or in cooling mode.*2 Such as lint particles and pollen.
Liquid Cooling System
This advanced system uses a pump to circulate a cooling liquid behind the DLP™ chips to absorb heat. This Panasonic’s technology is made possible by the reflective nature of the DLP™ system which enables an airtight chip structure that minimizes image-quality loss due to dust adherence. In addition, it allows operation within a wide ambient temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 45°C (113°F)*3 and reduces operating noise to 43 dB.*4
*3 The operating temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F) when used in High-Altitude mode (1,400 m [4,593 feet] to 2,700 m [8,858 feet]). Also, if the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F) (35°C [95°F] in High-Altitude mode) when using all four lamps, the light output may be reduced approximately 30% to protect the projector.*4 Average value at time products are shipped from the factory, in accordance with JIS X 6911:2003 data projector specifications. Measurement methods and conditions are based on Article 2 of JIS X 6911:2003 data projector specifications.
� PJLink™ CompatibilityThe LAN terminals support PJLink™ class 1 connection. Control with the same specifications is also possible when used in a multi-projector system with projectors of another brand.
� Multi Projector Monitoring & Control SoftwarePanasonic’s original “Multi Projector Monitoring & Control”* freeware allows the user to control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time via LAN. When a problem occurs, an alarm message is sent to the monitoring/controlling PC.* Available in June 2008. Please consult a sales representative if necessary.
� Web Browser ControlThe PT-D12000E can be easily operated remotely over a LAN network, because it is all done using the computer’s familiar web browser. Furthermore, the projector sends an e-mail message to notify the operator when an error has occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced.
Network Function
Lamp LED Indicator and Self-Diagnosis Function
The projector body is equipped with a temperature alarm LED and a burnt-lamp alarm LED (for lamps 1 to 4). In the PT-D12000E, the LEDs are visible from both front and top, so you can see it easily even if the unit is hung from the ceiling. Information on the error is also given in the on-screen display. A self-diagnosis function is also provided. Error codes displayed on the 3-digit, 7-segment LED on the side of the projector tell the operator what the problem is.
Made in Japan
PT-D12000E projector is carefully manufactured at the Panasonic factory in Japan under strict quality control. This is another very important advantage of Panasonic projectors.
� Smoke Cut FilterThe optional ET-SFD100 Smoke Cut Filter can be mounted in place of the Auto Cleaning Robot’s tray. This optional smoke filter must be used when using the projector at events where smoke or fog is dispersed.

1. Do not install the projector in locations that are subject to excessive\
 water, humidity, steam, or oily smoke. Doing so may result in fire, malfunction, or electric shock.2. The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use.3. The projector uses of high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions.• Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operation.• Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm or more around t\
he projector’s exhaust openings.• Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another for the\
 purpose of multiple (stacked) projection.When stacking projector units, be sure to provide the amount of space indicated between them. These space requirements also apply to installation where only one projector unit is operating at one time and \
the other unit is used as a backup.• If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, temperature of the air surrounding the projector must be between 0°C\
 and 35°C. Also make sure the projector’s intake and exhaust openings are not blocked. Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is not sucked into the intake.

4. If the projector is to be operated continuously 24 hours a day, use the multi-lamp optical system’s alternating lamp operation (lamp changer) function. The projector can be operated continuously 24 hours a day in four-lamp operation mode, but it will automatically operate with three lamps for 8 hours of the 24 hours.5. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is \
operated repeatedly for short periods.• The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illumi\
nate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.6. Because the ET-D75LE5 is a fixed short-throw lens, the lens shift function cannot be used with it.7. Due to natural characteristics of lamps, screen brightness may vary (flicker). This is not an indication of faulty lamp performance.

Lamp replacement cycle and brightness guidelines
* The values above are maximum values when all 4 lamps are replaced simultaneously, and when they are used in cycles of being turned on for 3.5 hours and off for 0.5 hour.When the lamps are turned on and off more frequently, the lamp replacement cycle is shortened. (It is recommended that the mechanical shutter be used to turn images off for a short period.)
Detail Clarity Processor: Signal frequency is extracted realtime and necessary sharpness is applied at varying degrees for natural, life-like images.
Conventional sharpness control: Sharpness is applied uniformly, which can cause a halo or ring effect.

New AC Lamp and Multi-Lamp System
Panasonic’s innovative 4-lamp optical system uses newly developed 300-watt AC lamps to deliver remarkable 12,000-lumen brightness. The 4-lamp system means superb reliability too – the projector keeps working even if one lamp goes out. A full 24 hours of continuous operation is possible in Lamp Relay mode.
Detail Clarity Processor
Exclusive to Panasonic, this new image-processing circuit analyzes 
the video signal frequency range for each scene by extracting data on the distribution of high, mid, and low-frequency components, and brings out fine details accordingly. The resulting images have a more natural, three dimensional appearance with crisp, clear detail.
Dynamic Iris
Panasonic’s Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a remarkable 5,000:1 contrast without lowering the 12,000-lumen brightness. It helps reproduce deeper, richer blacks and gives images more detailed textures.
Full 10-Bit Processing
Use of a full 10-bit picture processing system helps achieve smooth tonal expression. Complexions and other flesh tones look natural and true-to-life, with accurate gradation.
Dual Link HD-SDI Signal Support (Optional)
Just add an ET-MD100SD4 expansion board and the projector supports Dual Link HD-SDI signals. HD-SDI signals use two cables to achieve twice the colour resolution of the conventional single link system.
3D Colour Management System
Some people like to view large-screen images from relatively close up to get the maximum viewing impact. But at close range, the colours perceived by the human eye tend to differ slightly from the original colours. The 3D Colour Management System solves this problem by enabling fine adjustment of colours so they appear faithful to the originals when projected onto a large screen.
System Daylight View
Screen visibility is lower when a projector is used during daylight 
hours or in a room with lights on. Panasonic’s System Daylight View circuit compensates for these brighter environments, so that images are crisp, clear and easy to see no matter what the conditions.

Adapts to a Variety of Environments
Universal Design
• Edge blendingThe edges of adjacent screens can be blended and their luminance controlled. For example, the adjoining edges in a 2-screen system can be blended to create a smooth, seamless image.
• Colour matchingWhen several units are used together, this function corrects for slight variations in the colour reproduction range of individual projectors. The PC software assures easy, accurate control. Independent, 7-axis adjustment (red, green, blue, yellow, magenta, cyan, white) ensures high precision colours and minimizes colour variations.
• Multi-screen processorThe PT-D12000E can project large, multi-screen images without any additional equipment. Up to 100 units (10 x 10) can be edge-blended at a time.
* Image uniformity over the entire screen may be adversely affected by the type of screen used or the lamp mode selected. Also, due to differences in the manner in which the lamp brightness decreases with time, some fluctuation may appear in overall screen brightness. When this occurs, the unit must be readjusted, which is a service that is offered for a fee.For details, please contact the store where you purchased the product, or a sales representative.

Auto Cleaning Robot
Panasonic’s Auto Cleaning Robot automatically cleans the air filter to help keep the projector running smoothly. When the projector is switched on,*1 the robot uses a brush to clear away any dust adhering to the filter, helping to prevent clogs that can impair operation or cause malfunctions. The projector can be used for around 2,000 hours before the filter needs to be cleaned, making it a good choice for installation in tight spaces or for ceiling-mounted applications. Also, the Micro-Cut Air Filter traps particles as small as 10 microns.*2 This greatly reduces the amount of dust entering the projector, helping maintain high brightness and stable operation.
A Host of Functions to Assure Stable, Long-Time Operation
High Reliability & Stability
*1 Cleaning time can be set by a timer from 00:00 to 23:50 in 10-minute intervals, or controlled manually. The cleaning process is done only once per 24 hours. When the set time is reached, the cleaning process will begin if the projector is on or in cooling mode.*2 Such as lint particles and pollen.
Liquid Cooling System
This advanced system uses a pump to circulate a cooling liquid behind the DLP™ chips to absorb heat. This Panasonic’s technology is made possible by the reflective nature of the DLP™ system which enables an airtight chip structure that minimizes image-quality loss due to dust adherence. In addition, it allows operation within a wide ambient temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 45°C (113°F)*3 and reduces operating noise to 43 dB.*4
*3 The operating temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F) when used in High-Altitude mode (1,400 m [4,593 feet] to 2,700 m [8,858 feet]). Also, if the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F) (35°C [95°F] in High-Altitude mode) when using all four lamps, the light output may be reduced approximately 30% to protect the projector.*4 Average value at time products are shipped from the factory, in accordance with JIS X 6911:2003 data projector specifications. Measurement methods and conditions are based on Article 2 of JIS X 6911:2003 data projector specifications.
� PJLink™ CompatibilityThe LAN terminals support PJLink™ class 1 connection. Control with the same specifications is also possible when used in a multi-projector system with projectors of another brand.
� Multi Projector Monitoring & Control SoftwarePanasonic’s original “Multi Projector Monitoring & Control”* freeware allows the user to control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time via LAN. When a problem occurs, an alarm message is sent to the monitoring/controlling PC.* Available in June 2008. Please consult a sales representative if necessary.
� Web Browser ControlThe PT-D12000E can be easily operated remotely over a LAN network, because it is all done using the computer’s familiar web browser. Furthermore, the projector sends an e-mail message to notify the operator when an error has occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced.
Network Function
Lamp LED Indicator and Self-Diagnosis Function
The projector body is equipped with a temperature alarm LED and a burnt-lamp alarm LED (for lamps 1 to 4). In the PT-D12000E, the LEDs are visible from both front and top, so you can see it easily even if the unit is hung from the ceiling. Information on the error is also given in the on-screen display. A self-diagnosis function is also provided. Error codes displayed on the 3-digit, 7-segment LED on the side of the projector tell the operator what the problem is.
Made in Japan
PT-D12000E projector is carefully manufactured at the Panasonic factory in Japan under strict quality control. This is another very important advantage of Panasonic projectors.
� Smoke Cut FilterThe optional ET-SFD100 Smoke Cut Filter can be mounted in place of the Auto Cleaning Robot’s tray. This optional smoke filter must be used when using the projector at events where smoke or fog is dispersed.

Auto Cleaning Robot
Panasonic’s Auto Cleaning Robot automatically cleans the air filter to help keep the projector running smoothly. When the projector is switched on,*1 the robot uses a brush to clear away any dust adhering to the filter, helping to prevent clogs that can impair operation or cause malfunctions. The projector can be used for around 2,000 hours before the filter needs to be cleaned, making it a good choice for installation in tight spaces or for ceiling-mounted applications. Also, the Micro-Cut Air Filter traps particles as small as 10 microns.*2 This greatly reduces the amount of dust entering the projector, helping maintain high brightness and stable operation.
A Host of Functions to Assure Stable, Long-Time Operation
High Reliability & Stability
*1 Cleaning time can be set by a timer from 00:00 to 23:50 in 10-minute intervals, or controlled manually. The cleaning process is done only once per 24 hours. When the set time is reached, the cleaning process will begin if the projector is on or in cooling mode.*2 Such as lint particles and pollen.
Liquid Cooling System
This advanced system uses a pump to circulate a cooling liquid behind the DLP™ chips to absorb heat. This Panasonic’s technology is made possible by the reflective nature of the DLP™ system which enables an airtight chip structure that minimizes image-quality loss due to dust adherence. In addition, it allows operation within a wide ambient temperature range of 0°C (32°F) to 45°C (113°F)*3 and reduces operating noise to 43 dB.*4
*3 The operating temperature range is 0°C (32°F) to 40°C (104°F) when used in High-Altitude mode (1,400 m [4,593 feet] to 2,700 m [8,858 feet]). Also, if the ambient temperature exceeds 40°C (104°F) (35°C [95°F] in High-Altitude mode) when using all four lamps, the light output may be reduced approximately 30% to protect the projector.*4 Average value at time products are shipped from the factory, in accordance with JIS X 6911:2003 data projector specifications. Measurement methods and conditions are based on Article 2 of JIS X 6911:2003 data projector specifications.
� PJLink™ CompatibilityThe LAN terminals support PJLink™ class 1 connection. Control with the same specifications is also possible when used in a multi-projector system with projectors of another brand.
� Multi Projector Monitoring & Control SoftwarePanasonic’s original “Multi Projector Monitoring & Control”* freeware allows the user to control and monitor multiple projectors at the same time via LAN. When a problem occurs, an alarm message is sent to the monitoring/controlling PC.* Available in June 2008. Please consult a sales representative if necessary.
� Web Browser ControlThe PT-D12000E can be easily operated remotely over a LAN network, because it is all done using the computer’s familiar web browser. Furthermore, the projector sends an e-mail message to notify the operator when an error has occurred, or a lamp needs to be replaced.
Network Function
Lamp LED Indicator and Self-Diagnosis Function
The projector body is equipped with a temperature alarm LED and a burnt-lamp alarm LED (for lamps 1 to 4). In the PT-D12000E, the LEDs are visible from both front and top, so you can see it easily even if the unit is hung from the ceiling. Information on the error is also given in the on-screen display. A self-diagnosis function is also provided. Error codes displayed on the 3-digit, 7-segment LED on the side of the projector tell the operator what the problem is.
Made in Japan
PT-D12000E projector is carefully manufactured at the Panasonic factory in Japan under strict quality control. This is another very important advantage of Panasonic projectors.
� Smoke Cut FilterThe optional ET-SFD100 Smoke Cut Filter can be mounted in place of the Auto Cleaning Robot’s tray. This optional smoke filter must be used when using the projector at events where smoke or fog is dispersed.

1. Do not install the projector in locations that are subject to excessive\
 water, humidity, steam, or oily smoke. Doing so may result in fire, malfunction, or electric shock.2. The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use.3. The projector uses of high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the following precautions.• Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operation.• Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm or more around t\
he projector’s exhaust openings.• Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another for the\
 purpose of multiple (stacked) projection.When stacking projector units, be sure to provide the amount of space indicated between them. These space requirements also apply to installation where only one projector unit is operating at one time and \
the other unit is used as a backup.• If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, temperature of the air surrounding the projector must be between 0°C\
 and 35°C. Also make sure the projector’s intake and exhaust openings are not blocked. Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is not sucked into the intake.

4. If the projector is to be operated continuously 24 hours a day, use the multi-lamp optical system’s alternating lamp operation (lamp changer) function. The projector can be operated continuously 24 hours a day in four-lamp operation mode, but it will automatically operate with three lamps for 8 hours of the 24 hours.5. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is \
operated repeatedly for short periods.• The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illumi\
nate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.6. Because the ET-D75LE5 is a fixed short-throw lens, the lens shift function cannot be used with it.7. Due to natural characteristics of lamps, screen brightness may vary (flicker). This is not an indication of faulty lamp performance.

Lamp replacement cycle and brightness guidelines
* The values above are maximum values when all 4 lamps are replaced simultaneously, and when they are used in cycles of being turned on for 3.5 hours and off for 0.5 hour.When the lamps are turned on and off more frequently, the lamp replacement cycle is shortened. (It is recommended that the mechanical shutter be used to turn images off for a short period.)
Detail Clarity Processor: Signal frequency is extracted realtime and necessary sharpness is applied at varying degrees for natural, life-like images.
Conventional sharpness control: Sharpness is applied uniformly, which can cause a halo or ring effect.

New AC Lamp and Multi-Lamp System
Panasonic’s innovative 4-lamp optical system uses newly developed 300-watt AC lamps to deliver remarkable 12,000-lumen brightness. The 4-lamp system means superb reliability too – the projector keeps working even if one lamp goes out. A full 24 hours of continuous operation is possible in Lamp Relay mode.
Detail Clarity Processor
Exclusive to Panasonic, this new image-processing circuit analyzes 
the video signal frequency range for each scene by extracting data on the distribution of high, mid, and low-frequency components, and brings out fine details accordingly. The resulting images have a more natural, three dimensional appearance with crisp, clear detail.
Dynamic Iris
Panasonic’s Dynamic Iris uses a scene-linking aperture mechanism to achieve a remarkable 5,000:1 contrast without lowering the 12,000-lumen brightness. It helps reproduce deeper, richer blacks 
and gives images more detailed textures.
Full 10-Bit Processing
Use of a full 10-bit picture processing system helps achieve smooth tonal expression. Complexions and other flesh tones look natural and true-to-life, with accurate gradation.
Dual Link HD-SDI Signal Support (Optional)
Just add an ET-MD100SD4 expansion board and the projector supports Dual Link HD-SDI signals. HD-SDI signals use two cables to achieve twice the colour resolution of the conventional single link system.
3D Colour Management System
Some people like to view large-screen images from relatively close up to get the maximum viewing impact. But at close range, the colours perceived by the human eye tend to differ slightly from the original colours. The 3D Colour Management System solves this problem by enabling fine adjustment of colours so they appear faithful to the originals when projected onto a large screen.
System Daylight View
Screen visibility is lower when a projector is used during daylight 
hours or in a room with lights on. Panasonic’s System Daylight View circuit compensates for these brighter environments, so that images are crisp, clear and easy to see no matter what the conditions.
