System Daylight View 3 Improves Color Perception
This proprietary technology optimizes image quality to improve color
perception of images projected onto walls and other exotic surface materials
(ideal for mapping applications) as well as in environments with bright ambient
light. Combined with high 10,000 lm brightness, the PT-RQ13K delivers clear
and comfortable viewing in the most challenging applications.
Waveform Monitor Function
When source device output level uctuates due to the performance of the
device or its cable connections, the original black and white levels of the
image cannot be reproduced correctly. The PT-RQ13K displays the
waveforms on screen where they can be adjusted either automatically or
manually as preferred.
Single-Cable 4K DIGITAL LINK Connection
Based on HDBaseT™ technology, DIGITAL LINK supports transmission of
4K video signals and control commands through a single cable for
distances of up to 50 m (164 ft )*13. An optional ET-YFB200G DIGITAL LINK
Switcher or ET-YFB100G Digital Interface Box further
simplies installation in large venues while reducing
cost and improving reliability.
Note: ET-YFB100G/ET-YFB200G is not compatible with 4K signals. Transmission of 1080/ 60p
signals (1920 x 1080 pixels, dot clock frequency 148.5 MHz) for up to 150 m (492 ft ) is
available in Long Reach Mode with the optional ET-YFB200G DIGITAL LINK Switcher (requires
CAT 5e cable or above). Transmission distance is up to 100 m (328 ft ) in other cases.
Selectable Operational Modes Maintain Image Quality Longer
• Approx. 20,000 Hours*7of Continuous Operation (Normal Mode)
In Normal Mode with a maximum 10,000 lm brightness, PT-RQ13K can
operate continuously for approximately 20,000 hours*7. In Eco Mode at 8,000
lm, this is extended to approximately 24,000 hours*7of continuous
operation. These modes are ideal for education or signage applications.
• Up to 10 Years*8Operation with Constant Brightness Modes
In environments where very high brightness is not necessary, such as
surveillance, control, and simulation rooms, constant operation modes
extend light source replacement to up to 87,600 hours*8in Long Life 3 Mode—
about 10 years of 24/7 projection—with consistent brightness and color.
• User Operating Mode
In addition to preset operating modes, the PT-RQ13K can be customized
to achieve your preferred balance of brightness or extended life.
Brightness can be set from 1,900 to 10,000 lm or the lifetime set to a
maximum of 10 years. *9 When operational mode is set to Normal, operating temperature is from 0 °C (32 °F ) to 45 °C (113 °F ), and operating temperature is from 0 °C (32 °F ) to 40 °C (104 °F ) when used in locations from 1,400 m to 4,200 m (4,593 ft to 13,780 ft ) above sea level. When
operational mode is set to Eco or Long Life 1/2/3, operating temperature is from 0 °C (32 °F ) to 40 °C (104 °F ). When used with Smoke Cut Filter, operating temperature is from 0 °C (32 °F ) to 35 °C (95 °F ). Projector cannot be used in locations over 2,700 m (8,858
ft) with operational mode set to Eco or Long Life 1/2/3. When used with Smoke Cut Filter, the projector cannot be used in locations over 1,400 m (4,593 ft ). Light source brightness may decrease depending on operating temperature. When projector is operating at high
temperature, brightness will decrease correspondingly. *10 Dustproof tests are conducted to confirm operational effectiveness under conditions with 0.15 mg /m3of particulate matter (based on tests by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning
Engineers [ASHRAE ], and the Japanese Building Maintenance Association). Measurements are made using acceleration tests. *11 Usage environment may affect filter maintenance cycle. *12 Please follow the procedures listed in the operating instructions when washing
the filter with water. Replacement is recommended after filter has been washed and reused twice, or if filter is not sufficiently clean after washing. *13 Audio transmission not supported on PT-RQ13K projectors. When using CAT 5e/6 cable or above, transmission of 4K
signals up to 50 m (164 ft) is supported. *14 While the input resolution will not change, maintaining image quality is not possible for images enlarged horizontally and vertically via the digital zoom function.
Geometric Adjustment for Specially Shaped Screens*4
This function adjusts the image for projection onto spherical, cylindrical, and
other specially shaped surfaces. Adjustments can be easily made using only
the remote control, with no external equipment needed. New 4-Corner
Adjustment and Keep Aspect Off functions also simplify ne adjustment.

contrast while reducing power consumption. Digitally controlled frame-by-
frame scene-linking modulation ensures highly precise light output adjustment,
and accurate 20,000:1*5contrast is achieved even when bright and dark
scenes suddenly or frequently interchange. There is also almost no drop in
contrast after extended use.
Flexible Setup and Smooth Operation
Unlike conventional lamp-based projectors,
the PT-RQ13K’s SOLID SHINE Laser system
allows free 360-degree installation through
any axis. Together with extra-wide-range
powered lens shift and a big range of
optional lenses shared by Panasonic’s
3-Chip DLP™ projector family, the
PT-RQ13K can be mounted in any way
desired without picture distortion.
Quick Start and Quick Off
The laser light source does not require any warm-up time, so images appear
almost instantly with PT-RQ13K projectors. There’s also no cooling time
required when turning the power off. Users can turn the projector on and off
immediately as many times as necessary.
