High Brightness of 16,000 lm.
Superb Cost-Performance 
for Large-Space Viewing.
Balancing factors required to fill large spaces with breathtaking images. 
Remarkable  16,000  lm  brightness  ensures  sharp,  crisp  large-screen 
projection.  Pure  Color  Control,  which  independently  controls  yellow 
brightness  to  improve  color  reproduction,  attains  this  superb  brightness 
with optimal coloring. The 4-Lamp Optical System maintains high reliability. 
And system expansion functions include horizontal/vertical lens shift and 
a Multi-Screen Support System. These and other features enable flexible 
installation for a wide variety of applications.
A Full 16,000 lm of Brightness  
and 2,500:1 Contrast
The 4-lamp optical system uses high-output, 380 W lamps to deliver 
remarkable 16,000 lm brightness. And the contrast ratio is a high 2,500:1, 
to ensure bright, crisp, large-screen projection.
Excellent Colors with Pure Color Control
It is inherently difficult for LCD projectors to attain both high brightness 
and superb color reproduction. For this reason, in addition to the three 
conventional LCD panels that control the light intensity for the red, blue 
and green primary colors, the PT-EX16K also features a Pure Color Control 
function that independently controls the light intensity of yellow coloring. 
This provides rich overall color expression while maintaining brightness.
Highly Durable Optical Engine Ensures Excellent 
Long-Time Image Quality
The LCD panels and polarizers inside the LCD projector’s optical block 
tend to degrade over time. Their degradation strongly and adversely affects 
image quality. The inorganic LCD panels and polarizers in the PT-EX16K 
resist time-related changes to achieve a replacement cycle of up to 10,000 
hours. This maintains high image quality for a very long time.
Full 10-Bit Image Processing System
The use of a full 10-bit image processing system provides smooth tonal 
expression. For example, skin tones appear natural and true to life.

High Reliability for Long-Time Use
4-Lamp Optical System Enables Stable,  
Extended Operation
Even if one lamp goes out during use, the other lamps continue, so 
projection is not interrupted. Lamp Relay mode also allows long-time, 
continuous operation.

Adverse Dust Effects Prevented 
by a Long-Lasting Air Filter
The use of a large pleated air filter has made it possible to achieve 
a replacement cycle of up to 5,000 hours.*2  This greatly reduces 
maintenance hassles. The filter is also replaced from the front, so there 
is no need to detach the projector from its bracket in ceiling-mounted 
applications.
Optional Smoke Cut Filter Provides 
Protection from Fine Smoke Particles
The projector can be equipped with an optional Smoke Cut 
Filter ET-SFE16 to prevent the entry of not only dust but also 
fine smoke particles, such as those used for special effects 
at events and stage performances.
