Introducing the PT-EZ580 Series—compact yet powerful projectors designed to light up lecture theaters and conference rooms with big, brilliantly detailed images in up to WUXGA*1 resolution. Stellar picture quality combines with simple system integration and ultimate ease of use, while periodical maintenance has been pushed back further than ever before. Flexible, economical, and engineered for everyday reliability, the PT-EZ580 Series answers the toughest questions with innovative projection technology.

High Picture Quality

Vivid Pictures in Bright Environments

With up to 6,200 lm *2 of brightness, the PT-EZ580 Series serves up brilliant, punchy images even with the lights on. Text is sharp and clearly legible while graphics, photos, and video images are reproduced with a clean and natural vibrancy.

High Contrast Performance with Iris
Expect dazzling highlights and inky blacks with a high contrast ratio of 5,000:1*3 assisted by an iris, which alters brightness according to the scene or image.

WUXGA Resolution for Brilliant Full HD images
With native WUXGA 1920 x 1200-pixel widescreen resolution, the PT-EZ580/EZ580L is capable of displaying Full HD video from Blu-ray Disc and other sources in beautifully rich, vivid detail.

Daylight View Basic Function for Bright Pictures in Well-Lit Environments Panasonic's Daylight View Basic technology resolves hidden details in dark images that are normally difficult to see in bright conditions. Using an ambient light sensor, Daylight View Basic adjusts halftone color and brightness to suit the room. Resulting images are clear, bright, and easy to see.

Easy Multi-Source Viewing with Side-by-Side and P-in-P Modes
Two different image sources can be simultaneously displayed on a single screen. You can also switch to P-in-P mode and display a sub-window on the main screen. The sub-window can be positioned in any corner of the screen to expand the usable area.

DICOM Simulation Mode *4 for Medical Training The PT-EZ580 Series is compatible with DICOM standards for presentations relating to medicine. DICOM Simulation Mode reproduces complex images, such as X-rays, with exceptionally high levels of detail and contrast.

Color Adjustment Function A color adjustment function allows you to easily correct for slight variations in the color reproduction range of individual units set up for multiple projection, particularly in side-by-side configuration. Correction can be performed on 3 colors or 7 colors.

Low Maintenance and Running Costs

Lamp Replacement Cycle of up to 4,500 Hours*5
Users need not pay for higher brightness and imaging quality with increased running costs. The PT-EZ580 Series has a recommended lamp replacement cycle of up to 4,500 hours*5, delivering considerable savings over the life of the product.

Long-Life Eco Filter and Dust-Resistant Cabinet
The PT-EZ580 Series is highly resistant to dust, with maintenance extended to an impressive 17,000 hours*6 for the Eco Filter (which may be washed and reused*7). Extensive optical shielding and sealing, a straight airflow path, and improved filter sealing add up to an essentially dust-free design that keeps images brighter for a longer duration.

Intelligent Lamp Control Reduces Power Consumption
When in Auto Mode, Intelligent Lamp Control manages lamp output levels in real time, reducing power by up to 27%*8 when maximum output is not needed (in darker scenes, for example). Shift correction technology preserves the optimal color balance as lamp output fluctuates.

Additional Features
• Quick and easy ceiling-mount access to lamp, filter, and lens
• Power-saving Eco Standby Mode draws just 0.3 W of power*9
• Eco Management button on remote gives quick access to a range of Eco functions

System Flexibility

Simplified DIGITAL LINK Connections
Developed using HDBaseT™ technology, the included DIGITAL LINK connection*10 routes uncompressed Full HD video and Ethernet/RS-232C control commands through a single cable for distances of up to 100 m (328 ft). This greatly simplifies installation (especially when the projector is incorporated into an existing network or control system) while saving money on cable costs.

Connect Multiple Devices Using a Single Cable
An optional Digital Interface Box is available to connect multiple source devices (such as Blu-ray Disc players, computers, document cameras, etc.) to the projector via a single DIGITAL LINK CAT5e cable using its abundant input connections. This powerful AV routing hub is server-rack mountable and simplifies installation.

DisplayPort for PC and Macintosh
The PT-EZ580 Series includes a DisplayPort terminal*10 capable of carrying silky-smooth 1080p video at 50/60 Hz from compatible personal computers to your projector.

Powered Lens Shift, Zoom, and Focus
Unlike other projectors in its class, the PT-EZ580 Series has powered vertical and horizontal lens shift, zoom, and focus capabilities, allowing you full control of picture adjustment via remote control.

Horizontal/Vertical and Corner Keystone Correction
All you need to do is designate four points as the corners of the projected image, and this function will automatically perform horizontal and vertical keystone correction.

Quiet 29 dB*11 Design Won't Interrupt Lectures or Meetings
The quiet design keeps noise levels down to 29 dB*11, with the sound of the cooling fan hardly noticeable. This helps to keep attention focused on the presenter’s speech, and minimizes distractions during quiet moments.

Compatible with Leading Control Systems
The PT-EZ580 Series can plug right into an existing projection system controlled by Crestron Connected™, PJLink™ Class 1, and AMX software. Panasonic’s Multi-Projector and Monitoring Software is also available to enable easy control of multiple projectors from a single PC.

Emulation Function Makes Replacement Easy
When replacing a legacy Panasonic projector, the RS-232C serial terminal included on the PT-EZ580 Series allows you to continue to use the existing control commands.
