Ideal for smaller classrooms, meeting spaces, and public spaces, the white CMZ50 5200-Lumen WUXGA Ultra-Short Throw Laser Projector from Panasonic offers a very short 0.235 to 0.228:1 throw, which can equate to an 80" display being projected from just 1/3" away. A laser projects that content with 5200 lumens of brightness, making images and text look their best in fully lit rooms. The CMZ50 offers flexible 360° installation, and many image adjustments can be done automatically with the included remote. The CMZ50 provides a host of additional features to improve clarity, reduce noise, and generally expand its capabilities, helping to make it a more useful long-term display option.

Brightness of 5200 Lumens    WUXGA 1920 x 1200 Native Resolution    0.235 to 0.288:1 Throw Ratio    360° Installation    Remote Powered Image Adjustment    Heat-Resistant Laser for Quiet Operation    21:9 and 27:9 Wide Format Projection    2 x HDMI Inputs and Powered USB-A Port    Detail Clarity Processor 4    Dynamic Contrast for Realistic Images

A 360° installation and minimal screen offset allow you to install the CMZ50 almost anywhere, even flush to the wall in rooms with low ceilings. It's also compatible with an optional ET-WBC100 wall mount if needed.

If you mount the CMZ50 out of reach, you can still configure a properly-sized image with the included remote. The remote can be used to operate a powered center and periphery focus, a digital zoom extender, and digital image shift with +/- 10% horizontal and vertical shift.

Thanks to a heat-resistant laser light source, the CMZ50's exhaust noise is significantly reduced for quieter operation. When in quiet mode, the noise level can drop to just 25 dB, which is a similar volume to that of rustling leaves. The low noise helps presenters and professors alike be better heard by their audience or students.

Using its Detail Clarity Processor 4 and Dynamic Contrast, the CMZ50 analyzes each scene to automatically adjust detail and contrast. This helps to make images more realistic and text more defined and easily readable.

Supporting a 21:9 and 27:9 widescreen aspect ratio, the CMZ50 can comfortably accommodate additional information on the screen without adversely affecting your content. You can have a remote chat next to your image, or you can place remote guest faces/video images next to or below an image.

The HDMI output lets you mirror a presentation to an optional second projector or remote monitor. It also lets you connect to an optional second projector and use the edge-blending feature to create one giant display.

The versatile USB-A port can be used to provide a host of functionality, such as projecting a series of still images from an optional USB flash drive. It also provides 5V/2A of power, letting you operate optional accessories, such as the AJ-WM50 Wireless Module, Wireless Presentation PressIT receiver, or an HDMI streaming media dongle.

The projector uses a maximum of 325W, which is less than many lamp-based projectors. You can further increase the CMZ50's efficiency by using either ECO or Quiet modes. An additional environmentally-friendly feature is a removable filter that can be washed and reused twice before needing to be replaced.

Compatible with HDMI CEC, the projector can turn on, function, and shut off based on commands from compatible devices, such as Blu-ray players or media streamers.
