Features
Immersive Visual Expression for Diverse Environments
VIVID PRIME™ RGB laser technology supports the Rec. 2020 color gamut standard, delivering vividly expressive 20,000 lm1 images that bring immersive attractions to the next level. With color brightness approaching 3-Chip DLP™ models, its proprietary RGB-plus-phosphor design maintains smooth gradations for Rec. 709 content and reduces rainbow effect. The projector delivers smooth 4K2 visuals with Quad Pixel Drive technology and supports high-frame-rate 2K/240 Hz playback3. An enhanced Gradation Smoother can reduce tonal banding across six levels.
Flexible Installation with Flagship Features
The PT-HTQ20 brings 3-Chip DLP™-class features and flexibility to the 1-Chip category, with a compact size close to the PT-RQ25K and compatibility with Panasonic lenses for 3-Chip DLP™ projectors7. Full brightness is maintained on AC 120–240 V power8, broadening deployment options. In addition to a built-in 12G/3G/HD-SDI-compatible terminal, the projector features an Intel® SDM standard-compatible slot for optional function boards including the ET-SBFMP10 media processor9, and integrates with Visual Software Suite10 to automate complex adjustment workflows.
High Reliability for Demanding Applications
The dust-resistant optical engine, together with the advanced cooling system and filterless design, enhances long-term reliability while reducing maintenance requirements. A built-in mechanical shutter helps protect the DMD from stage lighting effects, while key PCBs feature a proprietary coating to improve resistance to dust and humidity in harsh conditions. Backup Input11 and Multi-Laser Drive Engine minimize interruptions during mission-critical presentations.

9 On-mode power consumption measured at 25 °C (77 °F) operating temperature at an altitude of 700 m (2,297 ft).
10 Average value. May differ depending on the actual unit.
11 The operating environment temperature should be between 0 °C (32 °F) and 40 °C (104 °F) if the projector is used at an altitude between 1,400 m (4,593 ft) and 4,200 m (13,780 ft) above sea level. Note that altitude of 4,200 m (13,780 ft) above sea level is the maximum height that the performance of this projector is guaranteed. When using the projector at an altitude lower than 1,400 m (4,593 ft) above sea level, and the operating environment temperature becomes 35 °C (95 °F) or higher, the light output may be reduced to protect the projector. When using the projector at an altitude between 1,400 m (4,593 ft) and 2,700 m (8,858 ft), and the operating environment temperature becomes 30 °C (86 °F) or higher, the light output may be reduced to protect the projector. When using the projector at an altitude between 2,700 m (8,858 ft) and 4,200 m (13,780 ft), and the operating environment temperature becomes 25 °C (77 °F) or higher, the light output may be reduced to protect the projector (TBD). Do not use the projector in a location where the ambient temperature exceeds 40 °C (104 °F) regardless of the altitude when the optional AJ-WM50 Series Wireless Module is attached to the projector.
