High Definition

Emotional Power

With images, the richer the expression and the more detailed the nuances, the more powerful the emotion. The Z60's bright, vivid images let you experience home theater viewing with tremendous emotional impact.

12-Bit Digital Image Processing

In the Z60, the ICs that determine image quality-such as the video deoder, scaler and gamma curve generator-all use 12-bit digital processing. The result is reproduction of deeper, richer images. And thanks to greatly improved calculating precision, the Z60 renders even tiny nuances in expressive detail.

Twin Iris - 10000:1* Contrast

The Z60 boasts the industry's first twin-iris system.** Integrating a lens aperture and lamp aperture, this new system 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 10000:1.* You enjoy crisp, bright, high-contrast images no matter what the room lighting. * In Vivid Mode ** In a transmission-type LCD projector,as of September 9,2005 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.

3D Color Management

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.

Digital gamma correction

This gamma correction control function achieves smoother gradation characteristics by adjusting the gradation according to the image being input.

Flexibility

Positioning Flexibility

Naturally, you want a product whose style enhances your room decor. And you don't want to be limited in your choice of installation locations. The attractive Z60 looks good in any room and can be placed just about anywhere. This positioning freedom was one of our focus points in its development.

Vertical and Horizontal Lens Shift

The horizontal and vertical lens shift function, which can be adjusted using two small wheels on the side of the projector, allows you to adjust the screen projection easily, without having to move the actual body of the projector.

2X Zoom Lens

With its 2x optical zoom, the Z60 projects images onto a 100" screen from a throw distance of 3 to 6.1 meters.

Digital Keystone Correction

This compensates for keystone (trapezoidal) picture distortion up to ±20% vertically, for situations where vertical or horizontal lens shift alone isn't enough.

Additional Features

Quiet Function Lets You Enjoy the Show

When the suspense is building or the heroine is whispering or the imagery is especially beautiful, the last thing you need is a distracting sound from your AV system. The Z60 features aquieting function that makes it easy to lose yourself in the drama.

Silent Design - Only 19 dB

No matter how beautiful the images are, a noisy projector pulls you away from the picture. In the Z60, we redesigned the internal structure and maximized cooling efficiency to achieve super-quiet performance. By controlling the fan's rpm and using Eco mode, we reduced operating noise to 19 dB* (approx.) --best in the industry for an LCD projector.** Even in Normal mode, the Z60 operates at a quiet 26 dB.*** *: In Pure Cinema mode or with the lamp set to Eco mode. (when not using ceiling-mount fittings or a wall-mounting kit). **: Transmission-type LCD projector, as of September 9, 2005. ***: In Powerful mode or with the lamp set to Normal mode.

Motor Operated Slide Shutter

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.

7 One-Touch Preset Mode

The PLV-Z60 provides seven one-touch presets to optimize color, brightness, and contrast levels. Simply select the mode best suited to your particular viewing needs. 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. Narural Mode Offers faithful reproduction of the input signal. Living Mode Best suited to projecting sports or dramas from TV. Dynamic Mode Enables projection in bright rooms. Powerful Mode Provides projection with a sharp, powerful picture tone. Vivid Mode Suitable for viewing images with expansion of the sense of contrast to a maximum extent.

Advanced Mode

The Advanced Mode provides a range of adjustments to match your viewing requirements. Adjustments include RGB gain, RGB gamma, RGB offset adjustment, lens iris adjustment, outline compensation, black level expansion, and contrast enhancement. RGB Gain, RGB Gamma, and RGB Offset The 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. Outline Compensation The signals that form image outlines can be compensated in 4 steps (OFF/L1/L2/L3). Black Level Expansion This function gives a crisper appearance to blacks in bright areas. It can be set in 4 steps (OFF/L1/L2/L3). Contrast Enhancement The contrast in bright scenes can also be adjusted in 4 steps (OFF/L1/L2/L3).   Note: Some of the above adjustments cannot be made due to the input signal or input mode.
