MAIN FEATURES

Long-Life Energy-Saving Design Minimizes Problems

Multi-Laser Drive Engine and Backup Input6 enable continuous projection even in the event of trouble, and no light-source or filter maintenance is required for 20,000 hours7. The series efficiently delivers high brightness with MZ17KL achieving the lowest power consumption in its class8 for sustainable operation.

Dynamic Contrast NX Realizes a New Dimension of Light and Dark Control

Dynamic Contrast NX, a further evolution of Dynamic Contrast, uses a newly developed video-scene analysis circuit to recognize differences in brightness and darkness more precisely than before.

Light, Bright, Quiet, and Harmonious

As the smallest and lightest 20,000 lm1 LCD laser projector in its class, MZ17K Series installs flexibly almost anywhere and delivers bright, immersive images in a wide range of applications, from conferences to edutainment. Its sophisticated body styling harmonizes with the spatial environment while quiet 38 dB2 operation limits distractions, ideal for hybrid meeting rooms, museums, or lecture halls.

Perfectly Balanced Brightness and Color

Together with high-efficiency optical engine for immersive high-contrast images in well-lit rooms, MZ17K Series features Pure White Generator, an original technology that minimizes loss of light energy and balances rich color and high brightness. Dynamic Contrast NX includes new scene-recognition circuitry that detects light and dark areas of the image more precisely, while Detail Clarity Processor 4 sharpens text edges for clear visibility.

Geometric Adjustment Corrects Trapezoidal Distortion and Curved Screens

With built-in Geometric Adjustment, various distortions on the screen can be corrected via remote control. In addition to trapezoidal distortion resulting from angled projection, Curved Screen Correction fixes distortion caused by projection onto curved surfaces. Corner Correction allows the user to specify four screen corners, such as the upper right and lower right, for correction. Screen proportions can be maintained and corrections can be saved as data.

Eco-Friendly Energy-Saving Design

MZ17K Series is highly efficient, with MZ17KL consuming less energy than any projector in its class9 for highly sustainable daily operation. Light-source and filter replacement is extended to 20,000 hours10, reducing waste. The projector is liquid cooled and features a dustproof structure for stable operation. Multi-Laser Drive Engine limits brightness loss should a diode fail, while Backup Input11 function maintains image display if the primary signal is interrupted.

1 Light output of PT-MZ17KL. As of March 2023, based on publicly available dimensions, weight, and operation noise values for LCD laser projectors with 20,000 lm brightness and above. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is average of all products when shipped. 2 PT-MZ17KL in NORMAL Mode. Noise levels of other models in NORMAL Mode are 38 dB for PT-MZ17KL and 35 dB for PT-MZ14KL/MZ11KL. 3 As of March 2023, based on LCD laser projectors with 20,000 lm brightness and above according to internal research. 4 Light output of PT-MZ17KL. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is average of all products when shipped. 5 Geometry Manager Pro software for Windows® and preactivated upgrade kits require projector registration. Visit PASS to register your projector and download free software. 6 Projectors sold in some countries or regions require an ET-NUK10 Upgrade Kit available from PASS to activate NFC function. See NFC Regional Compatibility List for details. 7 Input signals are converted to the projector’s display resolution upon playback. 4K/60p signals are supported via HDMI and DIGITAL LINK terminals. 4K/60p and 4K/50p signals input via DIGITAL LINK are supported in YPBPR 4:2:0 format only. 8 PT-MZ17KL/MZ14KL/MZ11KL are also compatible with previously released ET-EMS600/EMT700/EMT800 lenses. 9 As of March 2023, based on publicly available power consumption values for LCD laser projectors with 20,000 lm brightness and above according to internal research. 10 Around this time, light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level ([PICTURE MODE]: [DYNAMIC], [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] set to [3], temperature 30 °C [86 °F], elevation 700 m [2,297 ft] with 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter). Replacement of parts other than the light source may be required in a shorter period. Estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depending on environment. Filter cleaning cycle varies depending on environment. Filter can be washed and reused up to two times. 11 Primary Input (HDMI 1) and Backup Input (HDMI 2) terminal assignment is fixed. Input signals to primary and backup inputs must be identical. 12 Wired LAN only.
