LCD Projectors

With their outstanding flexibility,
PT-F100 series projectors make
ideal replacements for existing
ceiling-mounted systems. They
require little maintenance after
installation, so total cost of
ownership is low.
A Bright Choice for
New Installations and
Replacement Use
Advanced Technologies that Maintain High
Brightness Over a Longer Service Life
Auto Rolling Filter (ARF) and Anti-Dust Design
A Micro Cut Filter, a high-efficiency electro-
static filter, with superior dust-collecting per-
formance combines with Panasonic’s original
Auto Rolling Filter and anti-dust design to minimise brightness
loss due to dust accumulation. The Auto Rolling Filter periodi-
cally winds the used section into the casing so that a fresh
section of filter is exposed. Thus, peak performance is main-
tained. In developing the anti-dust design, Panasonic totally re-
engineered the airflow path, from intake to exhaust, to create a
cabinet that hermetically seals off the projector interior. This
design and the Auto Rolling Filter team up to keep the air
inside the projector dust-free at all times.
ARF unit
ARF unit
Micro Cut Filter
A high-efficiency electrostatic filter in the air intake section
traps dust particles that are 1 microns* or larger. By cap-
turing approximately 7 times as much dust as our previous
filters, it guards against optical blocks and reduces the
penetration of dust into the interior to provide stable oper-
ation by preventing drops in brightness.

The projector can also be set on
a shelf at the back of the room,
greatly simplifying installation.
Thanks to the wireless LAN
function, you can set up a sys-
tem using multiple PCs quickly
and easily.
The PT-F100NTEA and PT-F100EA are
high-performance LCD projectors designed
for use in fixed installations. Each model
combines Panasonic’s original Auto Rolling
Filter with a new lamp drive system to
deliver crisp, bright images over extended
periods of time. Each also offers outstand-
ing installation flexibility, with 2x zoom
lens, lens shift and wireless/wired LAN*
functions that accommodate everything
from permanent ceiling-mounted use to
simple placement on a shelf. Whether
you’re looking to install a new system or
considering a replacement, Panasonic
answers the call for projectors that pro-
vide long-lasting brightness, simple main-
tenance, and easy, casual use even in
fixed installations. * The PT-F100NTEA only.

New Drive System for Optimal Lamp Performance
Lamps used in a projector require much higher precision than
ordinary household lamps. Panasonic employs a number of new
technologies—including a new drive system—that help main-
tain optimal lamp performance for longer-lasting brightness.
Daylight View 3 Technology: Enhanced Perception of
Brightness and Contrast *
The PT-F100 series feature Panasonic’s
Daylight View 3 technology, which uses
an adaptive low-pass filter to
optimise the dark parts of the
image. This makes images seem
brighter and higher in contrast,
so they appear crisp, vivid and
easy to see even in brightly lit
rooms. Daylight View 3 also
includes a built-in ambient light
sensor that automatically detects
room brightness and adjusts
operation accordingly.
* There is no actual change in the rated brightness or contrast ratio.
Convenient features for fixed installation
Wide 2x Zoom and Horizontal/Vertical Lens Shift Give
You More Installation Flexibility
Each can project a 120-inch image from any distance between
3.6 m (11.8 feet) and 7.2 m (23.6 feet). In new installations,
this lets you accommodate a wide range of room sizes and
shapes. And when replacing existing projectors, the new 2x
zoom greatly expands your installation flexibility.
Wired LAN: Web Browser Control/Monitoring, E-Mail
Message Alert (PT-F100NTEA)
Anybody can operate the PT-F100NTEA by remote control or
monitor its status 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.
PJLink™compatibility (PT-F100NTEA)
The LAN terminals support
PJLink™class 1 connection.
Control with the same specifica-
tions is also possible when used
in a multi-projector system with
projectors of another brand.
Direct Power Off
Because the cooling fan keeps operating until the lamp is
cooled, you can turn off the room’s main power without waiting
for the projector to cool down.
Easy Lamp Replacement from the Rear
For easier maintenance, you can replace the
lamp from the rear. The lamp is easily
replaced even after the projector is installed
on the ceiling.

Abundant connection terminals
Designed for versatility, each projector comes equipped with a
host of connection terminals. The RS232C specifications are
the same as in previous Panasonic models, so replacement is
quick and easy.
Easy-to-Use Remote Control with Laser Pointer
The supplied remote control features
a number of wireless projection con-
trols, including Microsoft®PowerPoint®
page up/down capability. The control
range and distance have been extend-
ed, and the buttons are now larger
and easier to use.
Wireless Functions Add Versatility (PT-F100NTEA)
Easy Wireless Projection from Multiple PCs
With the PT-F100NTEA’s wireless capability, you don’t need
cables to connect a PC. That means it’s easy to bring in a lap-
top (with a wireless LAN function) and deliver a smooth, has-
sle-free presentation. You can make the settings for wireless
connection quickly and easily using Wireless Manager ME 4.0
software. When the presentation is finished, Wireless Manager
restores the PC to its previous
LAN settings, so the PC is ready
to reconnect to your LAN.
Functions include Live mode and
Multi-Live mode. In Live mode,
the image projected is identical to
the image seen on the PC screen.
In Multi-Live mode, you can wire-
lessly connect with multiple PCs.
Other Valuable Features
• Anti-theft features: Security anchor,
user password, control panel lock and
text superimposing
• HDTV compatibility
• Full compatibility with sRGB colour
space for accurate colour reproduction
(in natural mode)
• Picture mode selection (standard/dynamic/natural)
• Blackboard mode allows you to project images onto an ordi-
nary classroom or conference room blackboard
• Shutter function for image/sound muting
• Selectable 17-language onscreen menu
Virtual Remote
Control
The same graphics
used on the pro-
jector's remote
control can be dis-
played on the PC
screen. This makes
it easy to operate
the projector right from the PC, with-
out having to use the remote control.
The front panel covers the lens to keep it clean from dust, and conceals the controls to
prevent accidental misoperation. It can be opened for easy access to controls even after
the projector is installed on the ceiling.

two transmit-
ters for an
extended

varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.
• The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.
• The projector includes consumable parts. The frequency of replacement for the lamp
and other consumable parts will increase if the projector is subjected to extended, con-
tinuous use. For details, please consult a service representative.
