Incredible Image Quality
◆ The circuitry that determines image quality -
such as the video decoder, scaler and
gamma curve generator - all use 12-bit
digital processing. The result is reproduction
of deeper, richer images. And with improved
calculating precision, the Z4 renders even
tiny nuances in expressive detail.
◆ Twin-iris system integrating a lens aperture
and lamp aperture delivers true-to-life
images with outstanding gradation in a
variety of viewing environments. Also, the
synergetic effect of a mechanism that varies
lamp brightness with a newly designed LCD
panel achieves contrast as high as 7000:1.
– Lens Iris: The motor-driven aperture optically
adjusts the contrast, and makes the setting
automatically according to the image mode
selection. Or, you can use the remote control
to precisely adjust the contrast from 100% to
60%, in 64 steps.
– Lamp Iris: By analyzing the brightness of the
scene and using the information to control
the lamp, this advanced function both
brightens the image and emphasizes the
feeling of contrast.
◆ You can adjust and save the level, hue and
gamma curve of any color. Fine-tuning
the image settings this way lets you
compensate for the specific conditions in
each viewing environment.
Flexible Setup
◆ Horizontal (±50%) and vertical lens shift
(±150%) function, using two small wheels
on the side of the projector, allows you to
adjust the screen projection easily, without
having to move the actual projector body.
◆ With its 2x optical zoom, the PLV-Z4
projects images onto a 100” screen from a
throw distance of 3 to 6.1 meters.
◆ Digital vertical keystone correction of up
to ±20% for situations where vertical or
horizontal lens shift alone isn’t enough.
◆ Seven one-touch presets to optimize color,
brightness, and contrast levels. Select the
mode suited for a particular viewing need.
– Creative Cinema Mode: Emphasizes the
sense of contrast, as well as any 3D effects.
– Pure Cinema Mode: Reduces excess gradation
contrast, for a rich and smoothly graded
picture tone.
– Natural Mode: Offers faithful reproduction of
the input signal.
– Living Mode: Best suited to projecting sports
or dramas from TV.
– Dynamic: Enables projection in bright rooms.
–
Powerful Mode: Provides projection with a
sharp, powerful picture tone.
– Vivid Mode: For viewing images with
expansion of the sense of contrast to a
maximum extent.
High Performance
◆ The shutter can be opened or closed
automatically by remote control. This means
you will no longer have to manually attach
or remove the lens cap when the projector
is mounted on the ceiling or in a high
location that is difficult to reach. The shutter
also protects the lens from dust.
◆ The Advanced Mode provides a range of
adjustments to match your viewing
requirements including RGB gain, RGB
gamma, RGB offset adjustment, lens iris
adjustment, outline compensation, black
level expansion, and contrast enhancement.
— Gain, gamma and offset can be controlled
separately for each of the RGB colors to
attain more subtle color reproduction.
This allows you to find settings that more
closely match your own preference.
— The signals that form image outlines can be
compensated in four steps (OFF/L1/L2/L3).
— Black Level expansion gives a crisper
appearance to blacks in bright areas. It can
be set in four steps (OFF/L1/L2/L3).
— The contrast in bright scenes can also be
adjusted in 4 steps (OFF/L1/L2/L3).
◆ Equipped with an HDMI (High Definition
Multimedia Interface) terminal and two
other sets of component inputs (including
component 3-pin terminals) to expand your
viewing options.
