The 5,500-lm wide projector that's easy to see
even in brightly lit rooms 
						

							Panasonic's DLP® system projectors have taken 
another step forward. Now they produce even better 
images while maintaining all of their highly reliable 
functions. Their 5,500-lm brightness delivers crisp, 
easy-to-see images even in brightly lit classrooms 
and meeting rooms, to make presentations easier to understand. The PT-DW5100U/DW5100UL can also 
project wide-screen images. This allows 
them to project images onto a large 
area regardless of 
the ceiling height.

System daylight viewWide screen and high-power 
5,500-lm brightness
The system daylight view function 
uses an image processing circuit to 
compensate for the loss of color 
saturation that occurs when light 
reflects onto the screen from bright 
surroundings. It is especially 
effective for producing crisp, sharp 
images in dark portions containing 
gradation. The function can be 
adjusted in three steps.
NEW
The PT-DW5100U/DW5100UL offers a full 5,500 lumens 
of brightness and WXGA wide-screen projection. A newly 
developed AC lamp, a more efficient reflector and 
a synthetic mirror produce crisp, sharp images even 
when projecting images with a wide aspect ratio in 
ordinary daytime lighting.Off

noise reduction
Dynamic 
sharpness controlVivid color 
control
Progressive cinema 
scan 
(3/2 Pulldown)
A unique control technology is 
used to maximize the color 
segment areas of the color wheel. 
Compared to conventional 
projectors, the brightness of each 
color is increased by an average of 
about 15%. This results in sharper, 
clearer color reproduction.
This interlace/progressive 
conversion technology 
automatically detects when the 
input signal is derived from filmed 
material and selects the optimum 
progressive processing method to 
assure faithful reproduction of the 
original image.
New IP 
conversion 
circuit
The PT-DW5100U/DW5100UL 
features a new IP conversion 
circuit that produces more 
detailed images than our previous 
models.
Full 10-bit 
picture 
processing
The use of a full 10-bit image 
processing system provides 
smooth tonal expression. For 
example, skin tones appear natural 
and true to life.Images are noticeably clearer, 
thanks to higher-performance 
frame noise reduction, which 
lowers image graininess, and 
improved MPEG noise reduction, 
which suppresses the block noise 
and mosquito noise that are 
common in fast-action scenes.
3D color 
management system
Compensation provides optimal 
levels of color saturation, hue, and 
brightness that were not possible 
with conventional projectors. 
Colors approach those of the 
original image, even on large-
screen displays.The dynamic sharpness control 
circuit adjusts the video signal 
waveforms based on the difference 
in brightness of adjacent pixels for 
a sharp, clear picture that is 
relatively unaffected by signal 
noise.

The use of two lamp system increases brightness 
and eliminates the need to interrupt a 
presentation if a lamp burns out (in dual lamp 
operation mode).

•Color matching functionThe Color Matching function corrects the subtle 
variations in color reproduction between projectors. 
Originally developed ''adjustment assist'' software 
quickly and precisely optimizes images, so the colors 
on each screen are uniformly reproduced.
•Digital image enlargingImages are enlarged up to 10 times (horizontally and 
vertically) without having to use any additional devices.
A lens-centered, symmetrical design provides 
flexible system layout, eliminating the need for any 
special considerations when planning the 
installation site.
Lens-centered design
A wide adjustment range of the horizontal/
vertical lens shift assures distortion free 
images and adds convenience and versatility. 
(Horizontal : manual, Vertical : powered)
Horizontal/Vertical lens shift
Five optional lenses with different throw 
distances are available in addition to the 
supplied lens. These powered zoom/focus 
lenses enable the projectors to perform 
superbly in an array of projection 
environments.
Optional lenses for 
various venues
The PT-DW5100U/DW5100UL has an array of terminals-two RGB inputs including a 5-BNC 
connector, serial in/out, one S-video inputs, two remote in, one remote out, DVI-D and control 
capability-to support a broad range of projection needs HDCP. (High-Bandwidth Digital Content 
Protection) compliant. Using the serial terminal(RS232C), it is also possible to connect and operate 
AMX and Crestron control systems with ease.
Multiple terminals
Built-in multi-screen 
support system
•Edge blending functionThis function controls luminance at the edges 
where screens overlap. By eliminating unnatural 
screen joints, it produces uniformly attractive 
multi-screen displays.
Anybody can operate the PT-DW5100U/
DW5100UL 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 
PT-DW5100U/DW5100UL 
sends an E-mail message to 
notify the operator when an 
error has occurred, or a 
lamp needs to be replaced.

							NEWMicro cut filter
A filter in the air intake section traps dust 
particles that are 10 microns* or larger. By 
capturing approximately 7 times as much dust 
as conventional filters, it guards against optical 
blocks and reduces the penetration of dust into 
the interior to provide 
stable operation by, for 
example, preventing 
drops in brightness.
*10-micron dust = lint, 
pollen, etc.
Liquid-cooling system
Panasonic's original liquid-cooling system 
directly cools the DLP® chip, which extends 
PT-DW5100U/DW5100UL performance and 
attains a high level of reliability. It also enables 
operation in temperatures up to 
113 ˚F/45˚C for 
use in a wider variety of environments, and 
maintains a more stable performance even in 
harsh conditions while keeping the operating 
sound down to a quiet 29 dB*.
*with lamp mode: low
Dust-resistant optical block
The dust-resistant design of the optical block 
helps ensure that projectors with DLP® 
technology will continue to deliver crisp, sharp, 
high resolution images over an extended 
service life.

DLP® chip
Newly developed AC lamps with full 275 
watts of power offer excellent brightness and 
greater reliability than other types. A new lamp 
drive system also lowers the stress on the lamp 
electrodes while the lamps are lit. The new 
lamps have a lifetime of approximately 3,000 
hours*, which is reassuring for applications 
where the projector is frequently used. The AC 
lamps also minimize color irregularities.

message is sent 
to the controlling/
monitoring PC.
* Available in June 2008. 
Please consult a sales 
representative if necessary.
* The indicated figure is the maximum value when two 
lamps are used in Lamp Low mode, with operating cycles of 
3.5 hours ON and 0.5 hour 
OFF. If the frequency of 
operation increases, the 
lamp replacement cycle
 will become shorter. 
[It is recommended that 
the mechanical shutter be 
used to turn images off for 
a short period.]

NOTES ON USE1. Do not install the projector in locations that are subject to excessive water, humidity, steam, or oily smoke. 
    Doing so may result in fire, malfunction, or electric shock.
2. The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, 
    emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use.
3. The projector uses of high-wattage lamp that becomes very hot during operation. Please observe the 
    following precautions.
    • Never place objects on top of the projector while it is operation.
    • Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm or more around the projectors exhaust openings.
    • Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another for the purpose of multiple (stacked) 
        projection. When stacking projector units, be sure to provide the amount of space indicated between 
        them. These space requirements also apply to installation where only one projector unit is operating at 
        one time and the other unit is used as a backup.
    • If the projector is placed in a box or enclosure, temperature of the air surrounding the projector must be 
        between 0 ˚C and 35 ˚C. Also make sure the projectors intake and exhaust openings are not blocked. 
        Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is not sucked into the intake 
        openings.
         * Even when the ambient temperature near the intake opening is 40 ˚C/104 ˚F or lower, an accumulation of hot air 
         inside the cabinet may cause the protective circuit to activate and shut down the projector. Please give ample 
         consideration to the design with regard to ambient temperature conditions.
4. If the projector is to be operated continuously 24 hours a day, use the dual-lamp optical systems 
    alternating lamp operation (lamp changer) function. The projector cannot be operated continuously 24 
    hours a day in dual-lamp mode. Allow a minimum of two hours per day of non-operation time per day if the 
    using the dual-lamp mode.
5. The lamp replacement cycle duration becomes shorter if the projector is operated repeatedly for short 
    periods.
    • The length of time that it takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on 
        individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.
    • The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.
6. Please clean the filter regularly. As for details, please refer to the operation manual.
