LCD Projectors
PT-LB90NTU PT-LB90U PT-LB78VU
Versatile Performance with Eco in Mind
Bright, Easy-to-Use, Dust-Resistant Portable Projectors
The Panasonic LB90 Series is designed for people who want a projector with excellent basic performance and ease of usein both portable and ceiling-mounted applications. This versatile series ensures solid performance with a dust-resistant structure, which minimizes any dust-related image degradation, and a low standby power consumption of 0.9 W*1 to reduce environmental impact. The PT-LB90NTU also features a network function that allows wireless/wired LAN configurations. Connecting the projector to a wireless LAN system further boosts the layout flexibility during presentations. Wired LAN connection enables remote operation, which is especially ideal for ceiling-mounted use. Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software, which lets you monitor and control several Panasonic projectors from a single computer, is also available. The compact body of the LB90 Series is filled with Panasonic projector technologies to meet needs of many kinds.

Dust-Resistant Structure Minimizes Image Degradation After a projector has been used for some time, dust particles that have entered the interior accumulate on the optical components and lower their performance. The LB90 Series prevents this with a unique dust-resistant structure. The LB90 Series has touch-sensor controls that eliminate the gaps around conventional buttons, and a lens cover. The design also incorporates a cover that protects the zoom/focus ring when not in use. These features combine to help reduce dust entry. And they all work together with the high-performance Micro Cut Filter, which effectively traps dust particles, to minimize brightness degradation.

Daylight View 4 Offers Clear, Crisp Images Even in Bright Surroundings*2 Daylight View 4 measures the surrounding illumination with a built-in ambient light sensor, and corrects the image in real-time to project clear, crisp images even in brightly lit rooms. It improves perceived sharpness, brightness and contrast, and projects lifelike images with remarkable depth.
Low Standby Power Consumption of 0.9 W*1 The ecological design of the LB90 Series greatly reduces its environmental impact. In Eco Standby mode, power consumption is only 0.9 W*2. This reduction brings standby power consumption down to about 1/3 the level of previous Panasonic models*3. As examples of other environmental design features, no halogenated flame retardants are used in the cabinet, lead-free glass is used for the lens, and an Auto Off Timer switches the projector to Standby mode when no input signal is received for a preset time. The LB90 Series also complies with the standards of the RoHS Directive*4.

In Standby Eco mode, network functions such as Standby On via LAN are not available, and only certain commands can be received from RS-232C control. There is no actual change in the rated brightness or contrast ratio. Reduced from 3 W in the PT-LB80NTU to 0.9 W in the PT-LB90NTU. Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances. The specified toxic substances used in the electrical and electronic equipment that is manufactured and distributed within Europe are controlled (the six substances are lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls (PBB), and polybrominated diphenyl esters (PBDE)), and all Panasonic projectors comply with the standards of the European RoHS Directive.
Wired/Wireless LAN Compatible Network Functions

(Only on the PT-LB90NTU)

Easy Remote Operation A Web browser on a computer connected through a wireless*5 or wired LAN system lets you remotely operate projectors and check their status. An e-mail messaging function can also notify you when a lamp needs replacement, and indicate the overall projector status. In addition, Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software*8 is available for monitoring and controlling multiple Panasonic projectors from a single PC. The wired LAN terminal is compatible with PJLink(Class1), an open protocol that is used by many manufacturers, to enable integrated control of systems that contain different brands of projectors.

Quick and Easy Set-Up for Flexible Presentations The Wireless Manager ME5.5 application that is included with the projector makes it easy to send and display a computer screen when the PC and projector are connected to a wired or wireless*5 LAN system. You can also send audio*6 and video*7 files. The application is compatible with both Windows and Macintosh, and can be used with a wide range of computers. Wireless Manager ME 5.5 operation can be controlled with the launcher that is displayed on the PC screen. Its graphic display further simplifies operation. When connected to a wireless LAN* 5 system, you dont need to connect a VGA cable to the PC, so set-up is quick and easy, and the layout is highly flexible. You can also project several PC screens, so meetings with a large number of participants can proceed smoothly.

Multi-Live Mode

You can simultaneously display up to 16 computer screens, opening the door to a variety of new projector applications.
Four-Window Multi Style This style displays up to four computer screens at a time. Great for ensuring that all members of a meeting are able to participate. Four-Window Index Style This one displays thumbnails of four computer screens. From it, you can display a full-size screen of any selected PC by wireless remote control. Ideal for presenter-led meetings. 16-Window Index Style This style displays thumbnails of 16 computer screens. Good for displaying a list of computers.

Handy Functions for a Variety of Applications
Convenient and Easy Functions for Portable Use The compact, lightweight body (approximately 2.96 kg (6.5 lbs)) makes it easy to move the projector from one classroom or conference room to another. With Speed Start, the image appears in about three seconds*9 after you press the power button. Auto Setup automatically corrects the image position, dot clock and clock phase when the projectors input signal changes. Auto Signal Search automatically detects what kind of source is connected and begins projection.*10 With Real-Time Keystone Correction, the projector automatically senses if you adjust its angle (in the vertical direction) during operation and instantly makes whatever keystone correction is necessary for optimal viewing. Whiteboard and Blackboard modes are convenient when projecting in rooms that dont have a screen. Direct Power Off uses accumulated power to keep the cooling fan operating until the lamp is cooled, so you can disconnect the power cable immediately after use. A soft carrying case with shoulder belt is supplied. Convenient Functions for Ceiling-Mounted Use Versatile interfaces: Interfaces include two computer (RGB) inputs, a wired LAN terminal*11, and a serial (RS-232C) terminal for external control. The serial terminal has an emulator function that lets you continue using existing control systems when replacing a previous Panasonic model. It is also possible to output audio during Standby mode. This is convenient when connecting an external audio system* 12 through the projector.

The lamp can be
easily replaced from the rear panel without having to remove the projector from the ceiling mount bracket. Direct Power Off lets you turn off the rooms main power switch without turning off the projector individually, so you can leave the room right after a meeting ends. Effective Theft Prevention with the Startup Logo You can change the default Panasonic start up logo to any logo you want. A new logo can be easily uploaded by connecting a computer to the LB90 Series through the LAN*13 or serial connection by using the Logo Transfer Software*14. An abundance of other security measures are also included, such as a security anchor, a user password, a control panel lock, and text superimposing.

Easy-to-Use Remote Control The large buttons and long operating range of the wireless remote control make it easy to use. During Wireless Live mode on the PT-LB90NTU, you can also shift between Microsoft PowerPoint pages by remote control. Plus, a frequently used function can be assigned to the Function button (located on both the remote and the main unit) for Function button instant recall.

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 projector includes consumable parts. The frequency of replacement for the lamp and other consumable parts will increase if the projector is subjected to extended, continuous use. For details, please consult a service representative.
