P
Panasonic brings forth
a substantial increase in
efficiency and stunning
images to all your
presentations with the
new PT-L780NTU portable
networkable projector.
Designed around our
most advanced projector
technology, this fully AV
and IT compatible unit is
the ideal network-ready
projector for all collaborative
and singular presentations.
In university classrooms, lecture
halls, government offices, libraries,
corporate meeting rooms and
retail environments, the PT-L780NTU
lets you spend more time con-
necting with your audience, and
less time worrying about cables,
inputs and set-ups.
In business, your sales teams will
realize greater customer response
through wireless, collaborative
presentations. In education, your
school system’s I.T. staff can
remotely control and monitor our
projectors across the campus.
In fact, in every application, our
projection technology will help
you do your job as never before.
Maximum Flexibility
We’ve put together the widest
range of features imaginable to
make this the projector-of-choice
for any and all applications.
Starting with brightness, light up
the screen with 3,200 ANSI
lumens and a razor sharp XGA
native resolution. Now add
installation-oriented features like
network-readiness with Wireless
Manager software and a port
for Panasonic’s high-capacity
SD Memory card. Also standard
are AV, IT, digital and control
terminals; including, two RGB
with loop-through,
BNC connectors
for professional
VTRs, DVI, RJ-45 for
hard-wired LAN’s
or IEEE.802.11b wireless, USB,
RS-232, and of course, audio —
all connected simultaneously.
Each PT-L780NTU is HDTV-ready
and includes 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 color
translation and
representation.

Installation and integration is easy
with powered zoom and focus,
one-touch auto set-up, plus
vertical and horizontal keystone
correction to trim up any imper-
fect alignment of projector to
screen. We also offer a variety
of optional lenses so your image
fits the screen size exactly. A
supplied cable cover centers 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
Wireless Manager software
displays easy-to-use controls
for all projector functions, and
provides remote monitoring to
check on all critical operations,
including remaining lamp life.
Simply connect to a standard
Internet browser over an existing
IEEE.802.11b wireless,1or 10/100
Base-TX wired LAN.
We’ve also added password
protection to limit access, and a
control panel key lock prevents
unwarranted physical tampering.
A Better Academic Model
The PT-L780NTU 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 keystroke.
Students and instructors can par-
ticipate 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 control
any connected PT-L780NTU via
their existing on-or off-campus
LAN, instructors too can remotely
access networked PT-L780NTUs
to transmit class presentations
anywhere in the world. And once
the presentation is received, it can
be stored on the PT-L780NTU’s
SD Memory card.
Getting Down to Business
The PT-L780NTU is ideal for
business presentations. Since it’s
I.P. addressable, like your office
printer, it enables you to network
multiple laptops, to a single
projector2for collaborative team
presentations.
And with our Wireless Manager’s
storyboard interface, it’s easy to
select and transmit any file to
any projector. Wirelessly transmit
text documents, spread sheets,
graphical presentations, and even
JPEG photos. All sent from multiple
computers, wirelessly, without
having to connect and reconnect
cables from one PC to another.
A unique Capture Mode 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 projector.
It’s as simple as taking a photo.
The PT-L780TU also wins over
customers in the retail environment
with the benefits of large screen
projection for in-store messages,
enhancing brand awareness, and
of course, sales.
