Panasonic
PT-LM1E

The
feature-packed,
ultra-portable PT-LM1e delivers a brilliant 1,200 ANSI lumens of
brightness
and a bevy of time-saving and anti-theft functions
"The PT-LM1e
has the ease-of-use,
time-saving and theft deterrence features customers desire, plus it's
ultra
light, bright and economically priced," said Steve Abend, Director,
Panasonic
Broadcast's Presentations Systems Group. "With its low cost of
ownership,
the PT-LM1e delivers superb value for cost-conscious professionals,
from
the mobile road warrior to small-to-mid size businesses, from corporate
training and sales and marketing managers to the first-time user."
Thanks to its
high-performance
optical system and high-efficiency 130 UHM lamp, the PT-LM1e produces
high
contrast (400:1 ratio) images at a crisp, sharp 800 x 600 native SVGA
native
resolution (while providing advanced resizing technology to support
UXGA).
Utilizing artificial intelligence (in high lamp power mode), the
projector
instantaneously adjusts lamp brightness to optimize on-screen imaging.
For darker scenes, it automatically lowers the brightness to produce
deeper
blacks and make light areas "pop out," improving overall image quality
and heightening enjoyment of DVD and other video programming.
Time Saving
Set-up, Host
of Theft Deterrence Functions
For super quick
set-up,
the PT-LM1U has a multitude of intuitive plug-and-play functions
including
one-touch auto set-up with vertical and horizontal Digital Keystone
Correction.
Its Speed Start function means that an image appears only five seconds
after pressing the power button. When the presentation is completed, a
Direct Power Off function disconnects the power cable, allowing the
presenter
to immediately move the projector while the cooling fan keeps operating
until the lamp is cooled. Its Auto Power Off feature permits the user
to
specify a time (from 15 to 60 minutes in five-minute increments) after
which the projector automatically enters standby mode if unused.
The PT-LM1e is
outfitted
with a host of anti-theft functions including a security lock, user
password
protection, control panel lock-out (which can only be canceled by the
unit's
remote control), and text superimposing whereby a user can program a
text
line-- such as the company's name, URL or warning of choice -- at the
bottom
of the projected image.
Impressive
List of Standard
Features
Tailor-made for
users of
notebook PCs and DVD devices, its HDTV compatibility ensures that the
PT-LM1U
can automatically resize 1080i and 720p images for 16:9 wide-aspect
display;
480p, 480i and 576i component video signals and S-Video can also be
displayed
in either 4:3 or 16:9. The unit provides wide compatibility ranging
from
NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60 and SECAM. The projector is
also sRGB compatible to ensure uniform, accurate color reproduction
with
other sRGB-compatible imaging devices.
The PT-LM1e
also includes
an Index Window, which allows any image in a presentation (RGB or video
input) to be frozen, stored in memory and displayed on the left side of
the screen, while display of subsequent images continues on the right.
The unit has selectable color temperature (standard/high/low) and
picture
mode (standard/dynamic/natural) that matches picture quality to the
source
and room conditions.
Among its
invaluable features
are: two lamp power settings (high and low); whisper-quiet operation
(only
30dB in low lamp mode); advanced shutter function for image and sound
muting;
projection on screens ranging in size from 33" to 300"; a power 3X
digital
zoom; built-in 2-watt speaker; eight-language on-screen menu with
graphical
icons; discrete S-video and video inputs for connecting two DVD/video
sources
at the same time; fan control for high elevations (above 4,600 feet);
still
mode; freeze function; and a card-type remote control. The dimensions
of
its space-saving compact body are 10-3/32" W x 2-11/32" H x 8-7/32"
D.
Options include
the ET-RM200
full-function wireless mouse remote control with laser pointer.
