Panasonic Projector & Display Americas LLC Launches Core Product Enhancements and Partnerships
'Organizations across the education, corporate and entertainment industries face rising pressure to create next-level visual experiences. As the applications grow more complex, so do the technology workflows,' said Taka Uchida, CEO of PPNDA. 'Customers need solutions that integrate with each other seamlessly so they can focus less on the technical details and more on bringing their creative vision to life. Our new lineup of projectors, displays, and workflow partnerships responds to this need, offering customers a way to achieve high-quality, immersive experiences with ease.'
New Projector & Display Offerings to Power Immersive Customer Experiences
Facing time and space restrictions, AV professionals need access to solutions that are compact and easy to install while still delivering optimal performance and captivating visuals. In response to this growing need, PPNDA has launched the following solutions on display at InfoComm 2025:
The PT-RQ45K Series Large Venue Projector responds to the growing complexity of rental and staging workflows and the increased need for flexible yet powerful solutions. Featuring the world's most compact design and 40,000-lumen 3-Chip DLP™ technology, the RQ45K enhances workflow efficiency with a large 5-inch LCD color monitor to preview images and key circuit boards treated with UV coating to mitigate corrosion from exhaust fumes and salt exposure and boost durability. The PT-RQ45K delivers incredible visuals to immerse and captivate audiences all while minimizing on-site hassles. The product will start shipping in 2026.
The All-In-One DvLED AD Series represents the launch of a new product portfolio for PPNDA. The series includes a 137/165-inch (TL-137AD15AW and TL-165AD19AW) all-in-one LED display that combines high visibility and ease of installation, inheriting the high image processing technology and usability Panasonic has long developed for professional LCD displays. Both models support SDM card slots, allowing customers to future-proof an installation with a wide range of scalability, including AvoIP. The addition of an LED display gives users the freedom to choose the most suitable video display device for their environment and application. These models will be available in the fall of 2025.
Designed for flexible learning, collaboration, and presentation spaces, the new Artome ® PT-VMZ-AVCART, developed jointly by Artome OY and PPNDA, eliminates the need for permanent AV installations—making it ideal for schools, businesses, and event environments. With plug-and-play simplicity, height adjustability, and easy mobility, this A/V cart transforms any room into a professional-grade presentation space in seconds. Designed and pre-wired to accommodate any Panasonic VMZ series projector (sold separately), the PT-VMZ-AVCART is handcrafted in Black Oak and features a built-in 2.1 speaker system and an integrated rack. It also comes equipped with Artome's Hybridock – a smart, quick-connect docking solution that seamlessly integrates power, AV, and network connections between the unit and room infrastructure, enabling instant setup and maximum flexibility. The Artome PT-VMZ-AVCART will be demonstrated in the PPNDA booth with Panasonic's new PT-VMZ7ST Short Throw Laser Projector, and is slated to start shipping in August 2025. PPNDA will also upgrade its VMZ lineup with an 8,000lm model, shipping June 2025.
In collaboration with IGLOO ®, the PT-RQ7 Series 1-Chip DLP™ 4K Projectors can wrap an entire room in 360-degree visuals for a classroom or conference room experience that transports attendees to another place. For the second time at InfoComm, this year's collaboration adds interactivity to the solution through the integration of a laser touch detection system with virtual objects placed via the Igloo Core Engine software.
Workflow Enhancements for Seamless Integration & Efficiency
With the goal to streamline workflows and make it easier than ever for event producers and system integrators to design, create, and manage their applications, PPNDA is proud to enhance its proprietary software solutions and partner with some of the industry's leading innovators to help simplify workflows so users can focus on bringing their creative visions to life.
XTEN-AV ® has partnered with PPNDA to make it easier for AV integrators to specify the correct lens for their Panasonic projector within the XTEN-AV platform. In addition to showcasing this new custom-designed lens specification tool for Panasonic projectors, XTEN-AV will also launch new A.I.-based additions to its cloud-based software platform.
HIVE ™ will feature its media servers and software in the PPNDA booth. Its media servers feature an SDM card form factor to easily slot into any Panasonic Projector, Flat Panel Display, or the new All-in-One dvLED. Meanwhile, HIVE will showcase the seamless operation of its software from any modern web browser so users can upload and manage content and control visual and audio capabilities for medium to large installations, up to 99 end points.
As part of its proprietary software, PPNDA's own workflow enhancements will help customers create more seamless visual experiences. Specifically, the new Visual Software Suite VSS2.0 (coming October 2025), integrates all software from Geo Manger Pro, CUK10, and UK20 for ease of use, while PPNDA's latest FMP offerings streamline multi-projector applications.
PPNDA has also launched enhancements to its Remote Monitoring service capabilities with a Basic Version of the software coming available in November 2025 free of charge, to support cloud-based monitoring for consistent and reliable uptime across its projector lineup. A Professional Version, currently available for sale with a 1-year subscription per projector, adds more robust monitoring capabilities, email alerts, reporting, and remote firmware updates, and is required for Panasonic's Remote Image Adjustment and auto calibration function.
Matrox Video ® enhances PPNDA's SDM capability, giving customers the freedom to choose an AVoIP standard that best meets their use case. This minimizes the need for conversion devices, facilitates the transmission of media content over long distances, and maximizes the lifespan of their investments.
To further deliver on the promise of streamlined workflows and easier integration, PPNDA announced its role as a founding member of OpenAV Cloud last month. This nonprofit organization was created to drive the adoption of open and standardized cloud connectivity and API-driven innovation across the AV industry. PPNDA will help lead educational sessions at InfoComm 2025, exploring how OpenAV Cloud and open API's can enhance interoperability and remote management while powering new possibilities for AV systems.
Explore New Offerings at InfoComm 2025
Stop by the PPNDA InfoComm booth (#1201) in the West Hall of the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL from June 11-13 to see these new products and partnerships up close. From an immersive corporate meeting room powered by IGLOO to sections dedicated to education, museum, and workflow enhancements, the booth gives visitors the opportunity to witness solutions in real-world settings.
