Outstanding Performance and Excellent Mobility
Ideal for a Wide Range of Uses — From Business to Education
The PT-LB3 Series has useful features 
such as a wired L AN network.It is a 
mobile projector, but can also be used on 
a desktop or mounted to the ceiling.
Installation Flexibility
A 5,000-hour*1 lamp replacement cycle saves 
operating costs. Also, the Intelligent Power 
Management function allows the projector to 
continue operating even when the power 
supply voltage is fluctuated.
Enhanced Basic Performance
Setup is fast and easy thanks to features 
like Speed Star t, which brings up
the image quickly
*2, and simple, single-leg 
adjustment of the projector angle.
Easy Operation
The PT-LB3 Series offers superb basic performance, such as a 5,000-hour*1 lamp replacement cycle.
Its Intelligent Power Management function allows  resistance to sudden voltage fluctuations.
A network function reduces management tasks with a wired L AN connection, and allows flexible system upgrading. And an easy setup function enables quick operation for por table use.
This kind of versatility brings efficient visual communication to all kinds of applications.
*1 This value is calculated by continuously turning the lamp on for 2 hours and off for 0.25 hour.  
     The lamp replacement cycle will decrease if the lamp is turned on/off more frequently, or if it is lef t on for longer inte rvals.

							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 half tone color and 
brightness level according to the 
surrounding illumination.The compact body is the size of an A 4 file and weighs only about 2.3 
kg, while producing a brightness of 3,200 lm
*7. Its handy size and 
weight make it easy to carr y from room to room, or to a clients office 
for an on-site presentation. It gives you sharp, clear images wherever 
and whenever you need them.
The ecological design of the PT-LB3 Series greatly reduces its 
environmental impact. In Eco Standby mode
*9, power consumption is 
only 0.3 W*8. A s examples of other environmental design features, the 
uncoated cabinet uses no halogenated flame retardants, the lens uses 
lead-free glass, and an Auto Off Timer switches the projector to 
Standby mode when no input signal is received for a preset time. 
The PT-LB3 Series also complies with the standards of the RoHS 
Directive
*10.
The noise level is as low as 29 dB*6. This helps your audience to keep their 
attention on the discussion or on the screen images during quiet scenes.
Panasonic employs a number of advanced 
technologies — including a proprietar y lamp 
drive system — that help maintain lamp 
per formance . This has resulted in a 
5,000-hour
*1 lamp replacement cycle. It helps 
saving operating cost by providing longer 
usage bet ween lamp replacements.

Momentar y power outages*4 or voltage drops*5 
can cause the projector to shut down, 
interrupting the projection. The PT-LB3 Series 
equipped with the Intelligent Power 
Management function controls the power 
supply to cope with power fluctuations, to 
enable continued projection.

A Web browser on a computer connected through a wired L AN system 
lets you remotely operate projectors and check their status. An e-mail 
messaging function can also notif y you when a lamp needs 
replacement, and indicate the overall projector status. In addition, 
Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Sof t ware is included for 
monitoring and controlling multiple Panasonic projectors from a 
single PC. The wired L AN 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. The lamp can be accessed through the top panel for easy 
replacement, and the air filter can be removed and installed 
through the side panel. This eliminates the need to detach the 
projector from its ceiling bracket and greatly simplifies 
maintenance. The air filter uses a Micro Cut Filter, which is an 
electrostatic filter that employs an ion effect to attract and trap 
dust particles with high efficiency.
The external E T-KFB2 highly 
durable filter mounts to the 
PT-LB3 Series projector to 
boost dust and par ticle 
collection. This optional filter 
is recommended if the 
projector is to be installed in 
a dust y area.
Easy Remote Monitoring and Control Even 
When Mounted on the Ceiling
Various inter faces: Inter faces include t wo computer 
(RGB) inputs, a wired L AN terminal, and a serial 
(RS-232C) terminal for external control. The serial 
terminal has an Emulate function that lets you continue 
using existing control systems when replacing a previous 
Panasonic model. It is also possible to output audio 
during Standby mode. This is convenient when connecting 
an external audio system

*1: When the standby mode is set to eco, net work functions such as power on over the L AN will not operate. 
      Also, only cer tain commands can be received for external control using the serial terminal.
*2: This value is calculated by continuously turning the lamp on for 2 hours and off for 0.25 hour. 
      The lamp replacement cycle will decrease if the lamp is turned on/off more frequently, or if it is lef t on for longer int er vals.
*3: Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO 21118 international standards.
*4: Input signals that exceed this resolution will be conver ted to 1,024 x 768 pixels.
*5: Protruding par ts not included.
*6: Average value (excluding lens cap). May differ depending on models.

The operating temperature range is 32°F to 95°F (0°C to 35°C) when used in High-Altitude mode (4,593 to 8,858 feet (1,400 to 2,700 m)). Al so, in Lamp Normal mode,       if the ambient temperature exceeds 95°F /35°C (85°F /30°C in High-Altitude mode), the light output may be reduced approximately 30% to protect the projector.
