Panasonic brings forth a
substantial increase in
efficiency and dramatic
images to all your
presentations with the
new PT-L780NTE network-
ready and PT-L750E
portable projectors.
Designed around our
most advanced projector
technology, these AV and
IT compatible units are
ideal for all collaborative and
singular presentations.
In classrooms, lecture halls, offices,
libraries, corporate meeting rooms
and retail environments, the PT-
L780NTE and PT-L750E have the
brightness and features needed to
make sure you and your presenta-
tions always look the best.
With the PT-L780NTE’s network-
readiness, your sales teams can
give wireless, collaborative pre-
sentations. This ensures more time
spent connecting with customers,
and less time worrying about
cables, inputs and set-ups.
In education, your school system’s
I.T. staff can remotely control and
monitor the PT-L780NTE from any
campus location. In fact, in every
application, our projection tech-
nology will help you do your job
as never before.
Maximum Flexibility
We’ve put together the widest
range of features imaginable to
make these models your
projectors-of-choice. These XGA
native models start with brightness:
the PT-L780NTE lights up the
screen with 3,200 ANSI lumens
while the PT-L750E shines with
2,500 ANSI lumens. These models
include an array of AV, digital and
control terminals for easy integration
with video and computer sources
such as VCRs, camcorders, DVD
players, digital cameras, and even
control systems.
The PT-L780NTE adds further
flexibility with network-readiness
including Wireless Manager soft-
ware and a port for Panasonic’s
high-capacity SD
Memory card. The
PT-L780NTE also
adds optional IT
terminals, including
RJ-45 for hard-wired LAN’s or
IEEE.802.11b wireless.
Both models are HDTV-ready and
include advanced video processing.
A 3D digital comb filter greatly
improves screening quality from
composite video sources, while
a Digital Cinema Reality™circuit
enhances viewing quality from
film-based video sources. We’ve
even added sRGB compatibility
to ensure proper
colour translation
and representation.

Installation and integration is easy
with powered zoom and focus,
one-touch auto set-up, and vertical
and horizontal keystone correction.
We also offer a variety of optional
lenses so your image fits the
screen size exactly. A supplied
cable cover centres the lens and
secures the cables and terminals;
and lamp replacement is a snap
—just open the back panel and
install a new lamp.
Secure Investment
To protect your presentations
and prevent physical tampering,
the PT-L780NTE and PT-L750E
include a control panel key lock.
In addition, the PT-L780NTE’s
Wireless Manager software—
including password protection—
displays easy-to-use controls for
all projector functions, and provides
remote monitoring to check on
critical operations such as remaining
lamp life. Simply connect to a
standard Internet browser over an
existing IEEE.802.11b wireless1,or
10/100Base-TX wired LAN.
A Better Academic Model
The PT-L780NTE is the ideal
teacher’s assistant, allowing use
of a PC to change the projector's
video source from laptop, to
DVD to VHS to IT network, even
upload presentations and adjust
lamp intensity with a single key
stroke. Students and instructors
can participate in wireless,
collaborative presentations by
networking multiple laptops to
one projector. Later, the entire
presentation can be stored onto
SD Memory cards and distributed
to all students.
In fact, not only can a university
I.T. department monitor and con-
trol any connected PT-L780NTE
via their existing on- or off-campus
LAN, instructors too can remotely
access networked PT-L780NTEs to
transmit class presentations any-
where in the world. Once the
presentation is received, it can be
stored on the PT-L780NTE’s
SD Memory card.
Getting Down to Business
The PT-L780NTE and PT-L750E
have the brightness and features
which make them ideal for busi-
ness presentations. Both models
also win over customers in the
retail environment with the benefits
of large screen projection for
in-store messages—enhancing
brand awareness and sales.
For collaborative presentations,
the I.P. addressable PT-L780NTE
is the right choice. Its network
functionality enables you to “con-
nect” multiple laptops to a single
projector2so all members can
participate in team presentations.
And with Wireless Manager’s
storyboard interface, it’s easy to
select and transmit a presentation
to any PT-L780NTE.
Wireless Manager includes a
unique Capture Mode which allows
for instant transmission of anything
on your PC, even Excel®spread-
sheets, PowerPoint®slides, and
Microsoft Word®documents.
Just move the camera icon to
the highlighted area, window, or
entire screen and send it to the
PT-L780NTE. It’s as simple as taking
a photo. All sent from multiple
computers, wirelessly, without
having to connect and reconnect
cables from one PC to another.
1For wireless connection, PC requires optional wireless network
interface card or must be IEEE.802.11 enabled.
2Wireless transfer rate of up to 11 Mbps over 125-foot distance.
