Image Performance Rivalling 3,000-Lumen Projectors
Daylight View technology significantly improves image performance. Our new 2,000-lumen projectors have attained a level of image performance that equals or exceeds that of our The Panasonic previous 3,000-lumen PT-LB20 Series models in brightly lit with Daylight View environments.* 3
Vivid Colours in a Bright Room
Panasonics unique Daylight View technology greatly improves colour perception in bright rooms. Pale colours are divided into six basic colour components (red, green, blue, yellow, cyan and magenta) for more precise control. Daylight View achieves a superb level of image performance that produces less of a difference between PC display images and projected images.
theyre projected onto the screen in a lighted room. So they just use plain, basic colours. As a result, the presentation is visually boring and looks just like their competitors. Panasonic solves this problem with our PT-LB20 Series projectors featuring innovative Daylight View technology. These projectors greatly improve image performance in brightly lit places. In fact, the 2,000-lumen brightness of the PT-LB20 Series achieves a level of image performance that equals many 3,000-lumen projectors.* 1 * 2 Starting with the
Auto Operation with Ambient Light Sensor
The top panel of the unit is equipped with an ambient light sensor (ALS). The ALS detects changes in the ambient light intensity and optimises colour compensation in four steps according to the environment. The Daylight View mode also provides white balance adjustment settings for both fluorescent and incandescent lamps to match the room lighting.

The Daylight View Process

This helps to save energy resources that would otherwise be wasted.

Easy Wireless Projection (PT-LB20NTE)

High-Speed Data Transfer

The IEEE 802.11b/g-compliant wireless LAN function enables high-speed data transfer.* 5 In Live mode and Multi Live mode, the content of the PC screen is projected with the same smooth image motion as you get with a wired connection. The motion also flows naturally in Sound PowerPoint animations. Plus, the function combines with an original environment-adaptive dispersion

PC Movies

Wireless PC Motion/Sound Streaming
Wireless Manager Mobile Edition 2, an original application software for wireless presentations, is supplied. This software makes it easy to use a variety of wireless functions. In Motion Streaming mode, moving-image files*4 can be sent completely wireless, together with audio, from the hard disk of a PC. Theres no need to connect an external video source. Just set up the PC somewhere in the room and immediately start into an effective presentation using both moving images and sound.
Extended Index Style: 16 Thumbnails
This style projects images from up to sixteen PCs as small windows. Using the projectors remote control, you can select any one of the index windows and display it on the main window or on a full screen.
We have simplified the process for installing Wireless Manager ME 2 and setting up a PC for a wireless presentation. Just insert the CDROM into the PC, and many of the settings are made automatically. When the presentation is finished, Wireless Manager restores all PC settings to their original state, so the PC is ready to reconnect to your company LAN. When connection is not possible, a detailed error message is displayed to help solve the problem quickly.

Other Wireless Features

Projector control/status monitoring capability via an Internet browser Automatic connection to registered projector units Follows the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which has been adopted as an official U.S. Government standard Wireless shutter function One-shot mode PowerPoint page up/down operation using the supplied remote control
Flexible 16-Window Index Style

In Multi Live mode, a single projector unit can receive data from multiple PCs and display their images simultaneously on its multiwindow screen. The projection style can be selected from Four Window, Index and Extended Index. It is also possible to send images from a single PC to multiple projector units.*6
Index Style: Four Thumbnails
This style projects images from up to four PCs as small windows along the bottom of the screen.

Four-Window Style

The operation is controlled using Wireless Manager ME 2.
By building the wireless function into the projector, we were able to eliminate the need for a wireless card and keep the appearance of the unit slimmer and neater.
* 4 Supports ASF, WMV, AVI, MPEG4 and MPEG1/2 movie formats. Copyright protection measures prevent wireless projection of DVD sources. * 5 The maximum data transfer speed is 30 frames per second (fps). This speed differs depending on the PCs performance and environment. * 6 Up to eight units.

Quick Operation

2-Second Speed Start
Speed Start slashes the time it takes to get your presentation under way. The image appears within two seconds after you press the power button. Behind this breakthrough is Panasonics high-precision lamp and lamp power supplyan advantage made possible by our advanced production technology.

Direct Power Off
When the presentation is completed, Direct Power Off lets you disconnect the power cable and move the projector right away* 7 because the cooling fan keeps operating until the lamp is cooled.
compact size makes these models highly mobile and minimises the space required for presentations or storage.
Ultra-Lightweight: 2.1 kg (4.6 lbs)
At only 2.1 kg* 8, PT-LB20 models wont weigh you down even when youre toting along a notebook PC as well. Convenient size and weight are just two reasons why the PT-LB20 series is the logical choice for mobile presentations.

Ecology-Conscious Design

Panasonic meticulously works to minimise environmental impact in the product design, production and delivery processes, and in the performance of the product itself over its life cycle. The PT-LB20 Series reflects the following ecological considerations. Lead-free solder is used to mount components to the printed circuit boards. No halogenated flame retardants are used in the cabinet. No styrofoam is used in the packing materials. Lead-free glass is used for the lens. The packing case and operating manual are made from recycled paper.

To use wireless functions, a PC is required that meets the conditions given below: OS: Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows Me (Millennium Edition) or Windows 98SE (Second Edition) CPU: Pentium III or higher, or other compatible processor (800 MHz or higher recommended when using the live mode; 1 GHz or higher is recommended when playing movies). Memory: 128 MB or more (256 MB or more for Windows XP or Windows 2000) Free hard disk space: 60 MB or more Hardware conditions: CD-ROM drive (for software installation and viewing the users manual). An 802.11b/g built-in wireless LAN system or external 802.11b/g LAN card must be installed and running normally. However, some 802.11g/b wireless LAN may not allow connection to 802.11g projectors. The data transfer speed will be lower with an 802.11b LAN than that with an 802.11g LAN.

*1: In AI mode. *2: Height including protruding parts and legs: 73 mm (2-27/32). *3: Operation range differs depending on the environment.
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. 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. The lamp, LCD panel, polarizing plate, and polarizing beam splitter (PBS) are consumable parts. These parts may need to be replaced during the guarantee period if the projector is used for six or more hours per day. The replacement cycle of the LCD panel, polarizing plate, and polarizing beam splitter (PBS) will be shortened if the projector is subjected to continuous use for six or more hours. Likewise, the replacement cycle of the lamp will be shortened if the power is frequently turned on and off or the projector is subjected to continuous use for 10 or more hours. Interruptions may occur in the wireless connection due to signal interference or PC conditions.
