Panasonic PT-RQ18KEJ

PT-RQ18K — 3-Chip DLP™ 4K+ Projector, 16,000 lm

The PT-RQ18K brings the same "world's smallest and lightest" design philosophy as its bigger sibling the RQ25K down to a more accessible 16,000 lm brightness point. It's the smart pick when your project doesn't need the full 20,000 lumens but still demands genuine 3-Chip DLP™ image quality, native 4K sharpness, and the same two-person transport and install convenience. Same Intel® SDM-ready slot, same Remote Preview LITE monitoring, and the same laser reliability that makes the whole RQ25K Series family a favorite for rental and touring work.

• 16,000 lm (ANSI) / 16,800 lm (center), Native 4K (3840 x 2400 px) with Quad Pixel Drive
• Compact, lightweight body, easily transported and installed by a two-person crew
• Intel® SDM-ready slot for optional Digital Link, 12G-SDI, PressIT wireless, and third-party function boards
• Remote Preview LITE lets you check signal integrity on a laptop before projection, without walking up to the screen
• Improved Dynamic Contrast (25,000:1) with frame-by-frame scene analysis for sharper light/dark detail
• Multi Laser Drive Engine with Failover Circuitry keeps the module running even if a single diode fails
• Free 360-degree installation through any axis
• NFC-enabled for quick network setup before AC power is even connected
