Outstanding Performance and Excellent Mobility
Ideal for a Wide Range of Uses — From Business to Education
The PT-LB3 Series offers superb basic performance, such as a 5,000-hour*1lamp replacement cycle.
Its Intelligent Power Management function allows resistance to sudden voltage fluctuations.
A network function reduces management tasks with a wired LAN connection, and allows flexible system upgrading.
And an easy setup function enables quick operation for portable use.
This kind of versatility brings efficient visual communication to all kinds of applications.
The PT-LB3 series has useful features
such as a wired LAN 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 Start, which brings up
the image quickly*2, and simple, single-leg

Panasonic's 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 halftone color and
brightness level according to the
surrounding illumination.
The compact body is the size of an A4 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 carry from room to room, or to a client's 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. As 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 proprietary lamp
drive system — that help maintain lamp
performance . This has resulted in a
5,000-hour*1 lamp replacement cycle. It helps
saving operating cost by providing longer
usage between lamp replacements.

Momentary 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 LAN system
lets you remotely operate projectors and check their status. An e-mail
messaging function can also notify you when a lamp needs
replacement, and indicate the overall projector status. In addition,
Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software is included for
monitoring and controlling multiple Panasonic projectors from a
single PC. The wired LAN 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 ET-KFB2 highly
durable filter mounts to the
PT-LB3 Series projector to
boost dust and particle
collection. This optional filter
is recommended if the
projector is to be installed in
a dusty area.
Easy Remote Monitoring and Control Even
When Mounted on the Ceiling
Various interfaces: Interfaces include two computer
(RGB) inputs, a wired LAN 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*11 through the projector.

You can change the default Panasonic start up
logo to any logo you want. A new logo can be
easily uploaded by connecting a computer to
the PT-LB3 Series through the LAN or serial
connection by using the Logo Transfer
Software*14. An abundance of other security
measures are also included, such as a
security anchor, a user password, a control
panel lock, and text superimposing.
The Direct Power Off function keeps the
cooling fan turned on even when you unplug
the power cord right after use. Electric power
stored inside the unit is used to operate the
cooling fan to lower the internal temperature.
This lets you put everything away and carry
the projector quickly to your next presentation
or lecture.

power button.
•Single-leg simplifies adjustment
of the projector angle.
•With Real-Time Keystone Correction, the projector automatically
senses if you adjust its angle (in the vertical direction) during
operation and instantly makes whatever keystone correction is
necessary for optimal viewing.
•Auto Signal Search automatically detects what kind of source is
connected and begins projection.*13
•On-Screen Help Display: If images cannot be projected when a PC is
connected by a VGA cable, this function displays the output setting
method for the PC. The Help screen guides you through the button
operations according to the maker of the connected PC.
•Input Guidance Function: This function displays on-screen
illustrations to show the selected channel and whether the input
signal is being received or not. It lets you confirm the input conditions
at a glance, even when multiple devices are connected to the input
terminals.
•Whiteboard and Blackboard modes are
convenient when projecting in rooms that
don't have a screen.
Usability was Also a High Design Priority,
as Seen in Versatile Functions for Easy Setup.
