Panasonic PT-DZ12000U Projector Recognized by Systems Contractor
   News as Most Innovative Install Grade Video Projector and Best HD
            Projection Product by Rental & Staging Magazine
LAS VEGAS--(Business Wire)--
Panasonic Projector Systems Company, Unit of Panasonic Corporation
of North America, today announced that the PT-DZ12000U, three-chip DLP
WUXGA (1920 x 1200) projector was honored by New Bay Media's Rental &
Staging Systems and Systems Contractor News magazines as the "Best HD
Projection Product" and "Most Innovative Install Grade Video
Projector."

   The Rental & Staging and Systems Contractor News awards recognize
and reward excellence in the integration of audio, video, control and
networking products in the installation market and best new products
for the rental and staging market introduced in 2008.

   "We're honored to receive these prestigious industry awards that
recognize innovation in product design and value to the installation
market," said Thomas Zitelli, president of Panasonic Projector Systems
Company. "The PT-DZ12000U projector is our new standard-setting, large
venue projector solution that was specifically designed with input
from our customers. It creates new application opportunities for our
partners and end users, and delivers the high level of quality and
reliability they expect from Panasonic."

   The PT-DZ12000U includes new, built-in edge blending and a
geometric adjustment feature that enables dynamic warping capability.
Edge blending, used primarily for the rental and staging market, makes
it possible to overlap multiple images to create a single larger
image, thus enabling users to project images on oversized screens for
large audiences. Panasonic Projectors' easy to operate geometric
adjustment feature makes warping images to be projected on curved
surfaces possible, making these new projectors ideal solutions for
museums with amphitheaters and other similar-type settings.

   The PT-DZ12000U also goes beyond full-HD expectations by setting a
benchmark of 12,000 lumens powered by a sophisticated four lamp
system. By incorporating Auto Cleaning Robot (ACR) filter technology
and other state-of-the-art features, the PT-DZ12000U delivers maximum
performance, reliability and flexibility. The Panasonic PT-DZ10000U is
made in Japan, Buy American (BAA/TAA) compliant and will be available
at authorized presentation systems dealers from August. The
PT-DZ12000U MSRP is $69,000.
