Where does the PT-REQ15 sit within the Panasonic’s projector offerings?
With its powerful 15,000-lumen output, the PT-REQ15 delivers the highest brightness in the REQ Series – a clear step up from the REQ12, REQ10, and REQ80, all while maintaining the same compact and lightweight design that makes the entire range so versatile and easy to install.
It’s built for impact, whether you’re lighting up an auditorium, staging a theatrical show, creating an immersive exhibit, or powering a live event. The REQ15 delivers crisp 4K resolution (with Quad Pixel Drive on), fully sealed optics, and rock-solid durability. It’s made to handle high-pressure environments like projection mapping, 360° setups, broadcast shows, and even fast-paced live gaming with ease and reliability.
What are the main features that will benefit the end users?
The Quad Pixel Drive converts native WUXGA (1920×1200) into true 4K (3840×2400) using two-axis, 240Hz pixel-shifting/drive, delivering crisp, smooth 4K visuals without pixel artifacts. The projector also has ultra-Low 0.6s latency and 240Hz support, amking it perfect for fast-action video and esports.
The sealed, dust-protected (IP5X) optical engine comes with a 20,000-hour lifetime and redundant laser diodes ensure continued brightness if one laser fails, while the lightness and compactness increase portability. It delivers full brightness on AC 100-240 V power, suits new optional lenses with throw ratios from 0.308:1, ET-FMP50 Series media processors, and function boards for the Intel SDM standard-compatible SLOT to support AVoIP transmission.
The REQ15 Series supports 360° projection for mapping on floors, walls, and 3D objects. A built-in gyro sensor shows pitch and roll changes on the OSD, allowing installers to align the projector angle accurately without needing a second person.
How can the PT-REQ15 integrate with HIVE technology?
At the heart of Panasonic’s PT-REQ15 projector lies a powerful integration capability with HIVE’s Beeblade modules, made possible through support for Intel SDM. This allows HIVE’s media playback and control technology to be embedded directly into the projector, removing the need for external video players and drastically reducing setup complexity and hardware clutter. The result is a streamlined, plug-and-play system that centralises projection mapping, edge blending, and content playback all within a unified HIVE-controlled environment. This deep integration empowers creators with intuitive control over even multi-projector installations, delivering precise geometry alignment and synchronised visuals without the usual tangle of cables or auxiliary devices.
A striking real-world application of this innovation was revealed at the ISE exhibition in Barcelona, where the Global Teleport experience transported visitors through a series of immersive environments using multiple PT-REQ15 units. Thanks to HIVE’s embedded Beeblade technology, the installation delivered seamless transitions between continents, dynamic visuals, and synchronised content, demonstrating how compact integration and centralised control can elevate storytelling to dazzling new heights.
