Stress-Free Installation Flexibility

Installation Streamlined with 1.6x Zoom and Lens Shift
Maximize your screen area in rooms of any shape or size. The VMZ82 Series can project a 100-inch image from 2.35 m (7.54 ft) and delivers bright vibrant visuals on screens up to 300 inches. Its 1.6x optical zoom (throw ratio: 1.09–1.77:1) offers flexibility in mounting making it easier to work around ceiling obstructions or adjust the image to fit the screen from an existing mount. Combined with lens shift (V: 0% 44%; H: ?20%) it supports off-axis and high mounting positions while maintaining accurate image geometry.

Digital Zoom Extender: Freedom for Every Layout
Digital Zoom Extender and Digital Image Shift functions are useful when the desired mounting position is too far from the screen or on-axis placement is impractical. Digital Image Shift supports 10% image shift in any direction enabling off-axis or high-ceiling mounting. Digital Zoom Extender lets you retain your previous projector’s mount position by extending the throw distance beyond the optical zoom range potentially saving on construction work.

Quickly Find the Projection Angle with Angle Monitor
Aligning the projection angle with the design simulation can be challenging and usually requires two people. The VMZ82 Series features a built-in gyro sensor that detects changes in the projector’s pitch and roll angles which are graphically displayed in the OSD settings menu. Installers can adjust the projection angle without needing assistance.

Correct Localized Distortion with Grid Adjustment
Grid Adjustment offers pinpoint correction of localized distortion on the screen caused by obstructions using the remote control. Users can select various grid resolutions to enable point-by-point or line-based batch corrections. Correction data is saved when grid or point numbers are changed for seamless transitions from basic to detailed adjustments.

Intuitive 6-Point Screen Adjustment System
The VMZ82 Series features 6-Point Screen Adjustment which allows you to remove trapezoidal distortion when projecting from an angle using the 4-Corner and H/V Keystone Correction functions. Additional control points at the top and bottom of the screen can be used to remove distortion when projecting into a corner.

Built-in Geometric Adjustment Suite
Geometric Adjustment includes essential tools for correcting image distortion when projecting at angles or onto curved and irregular surfaces. It supports spherical cylindrical and complex screen shapes without a connected PC. Features such as Maintain Aspect Ratio and Independent Corner Adjustment simplify the correction process. Additionally users can save and reapply adjustment settings making it easy to manage corrections and track progress.

Single-Cable 4K DIGITAL LINK Solution
4K DIGITAL LINK is a connection based on HDBaseT™ that supports long-distance video audio and control-signal transmission via a single CAT 5e LAN cable reducing installation complexity in schools offices and entertainment spaces.

Accepts 4K Signals via HDMI™ and DIGITAL LINK
The VMZ82 Series accepts 4K video signals via DIGITAL LINK and HDMI™ terminals simplifying projector integration into your existing infrastructure. This capability enables 4K1 signal transmission to display endpoints with varying screen resolutions eliminating the need for external converters or content re-encoding.

Efficient and Eco-Conscious Design

Panasonic's Most Efficient Portable Projector
The PT-VMZ82 Series is 25%1 more energy efficient than the current VMZ71 Series generating an impressive 20.9 lumens of light per watt of energy consumed in NORMAL mode. Enjoy significant energy savings and reduce the carbon footprint of every unit in your fleet.

Eco-Friendly Recycled Materials
The plastics used in the main projector body contain about 47%1 recycled resins reducing the utilization of virgin materials. Recyclable cardboard insulation replaces foam in the shipping carton and unnecessary packaging materials have been eliminated to reduce waste. By supporting eco-friendly manufacturing and recycling-based programs at end-of-life you can help reduce your organization’s environmental impact.

Auto Power On Function Limits Energy Waste
Panasonic laser projectors can enter Quick Startup sleep mode after a certain period without an input signal allowing playback to resume in about one second. However if no signal is detected before the Quick Startup timer expires the projector shuts down and must be powered on again manually. The VMZ82 Series resolves this with Auto Power On. This feature automatically powers up the projector and resumes playback when an input signal is detected even after the projector has shut down minimizing interruptions and conserving energy.

Works with Multi Monitoring & Control Software
The VMZ82 Series is compatible with Multi Monitoring & Control Software which enables management of up to 2048 display devices from a remote PC over LAN. The software facilitates status monitoring device control playlist delivery playback scheduling and system map visualization. For more information please visit our software information webpage.
