Description

The Panasonic PT-RQ50K is Panasonic's flagship large-venue projector, a native 4K (4096 x 2160) 3-Chip DLP laser system rated at 50,000 lm (51,000 lm centre) and capable of images up to 1,500 inches diagonal - designed for stadiums, arenas, planetariums, cinema and permanent large-format installations where a single projector needs to cover an exceptionally large or bright screen without stacking or blending multiple lower-output units.

Like the rest of Panasonic's large-venue range, the PT-RQ50K is sold as a body only, with no lens included; it is designed around a dedicated lineup of seven optional lenses covering throw ratios from 0.55:1 to 7.76:1, all supporting powered zoom, lens shift, lens memory and lens ID for straightforward calibration and lens-swapping across installations.

A multi-laser array light source rated to approximately 20,000 hours, hermetically sealed optics and liquid cooling support continuous, filter-free operation, while dual RS-232C, 12G-SDI, DIGITAL LINK/HDBaseT and dual redundant light source failover circuitry are aimed squarely at mission-critical, always-on installations. At approximately 126 kg body weight and up to 4,100W power draw, this is a rigger- and structural-engineer-specified installation rather than a plug-and-play unit.

Frequently asked questions

How bright is the PT-RQ50K and what's it designed for?

It's Panasonic's flagship large-venue projector, rated at 50,000 lm (51,000 lm centre) at native 4K (4096x2160) resolution from a 3-Chip DLP engine, capable of images up to 1,500 inches diagonal for stadiums, arenas, planetariums and permanent large-format cinema installations.

Does it come with a lens?

No - it's sold as a body only, designed around a dedicated range of seven optional lenses covering throw ratios from 0.55:1 to 7.76:1, all with powered zoom, shift, memory and lens ID.

How long does the light source last, and is it designed for continuous use?

The multi-laser array light source is rated to approximately 20,000 hours, and dual redundant light source failover circuitry, hermetically sealed optics and liquid cooling support continuous, filter-free, mission-critical operation.

What connectivity does it have?

It has dual RS-232C, 12G-SDI, and DIGITAL LINK/HDBaseT connectivity for integration into large permanent AV installations.

What warranty and delivery apply?

The PT-RQ50K comes with a 3-year (36-month) warranty. Stock is currently very limited at TopAV, and given the scale of this installation (approximately 126kg body weight, rigger/structural-engineer-specified), TopAV's own technical team can advise on specification, lens choice and delivery planning.
