Revolutionizing Projection with Streamlined Workflow
Despite its high brightness and jaw-dropping image quality, PT-RQ35K is the smallest and lightest 3-Chip DLP™ 4K projector in its class and can be transported and installed with just two people. Save on labor costs and enjoy greater convenience when backyard space is limited.

Spellbinding Picture Quality
A combination of two blue and one red laser expands color-space reproduction by 114 %*4 over the PT-RQ32K. Vivid red and pure blue reproduction heightens realism for an immersive experience and takes high-resolution content to the next level.

Original Cooling System Secures Projection Stability
Redesigned airflow path, cooling system, and finless radiator reinforce reliability. Dynamic Digital Control regulates red laser output and cooling for consistent image quality. Expect 20,000 hours*5 of maintenance-free projection with backup input*6 and laser failover circuitry offering peace of mind when projection can’t be interrupted.
World’s Smallest and Lightest 30,000-lumen-class 3-Chip DLP™ 4K Projector*1
Despite its high brightness and image quality, PT-RQ35K Series is the smallest and lightest 3-Chip DLP™ 4K projector in its class and can be transported and installed with two people. Save on labor and enjoy greater convenience when storage space is limited. PT-RQ35K Series is 40 %*2 smaller than the current PT-RQ32K, and its footprint is almost equivalent to the PT-RQ22K. With its manageable size and weight, PT-RQ35K Series creates exciting opportunities for high-brightness projection in venues where installation space is limited.

Smart Projector Control App
Smart Projector Control is a remote app for iOS and Android™ devices*1 that can adjust and control up to 64 projectors individually or simultaneously from anywhere within range of the wireless network. Use the app to connect the projector to the wireless network*2 without manually entering SSID and password simply by scanning a QR Code displayed on the projector’s Information Monitor. Once connected, you can switch the unit on or off, select an input signal, and adjust the projector’s OSD menu settings via your device’s touchscreen with the unit in standby. Installers avoid delays when it’s not possible to project the OSD menu, and can set up a fleet of projectors while other event infrastructure is assembled. As well as OSD menu operations, the app can adjust lens settings and select test patterns and lets you focus the projection using your phone camera*3 from distances of up to 30 m*4 (98 ft) away. For more information, visit the Smart Projector Control website.
NFC Function
PT-RQ35K Series projectors can be paired with your smartphone via NFC* (Near Field Communication) when the projector is off and disconnected from AC power by touching the device against the projector’s NFC touchpoint. Adjust selected projector settings using Smart Projector Control app, such as Projector ID and IP address, while waiting for power to be connected and setup to begin. Fleets of projectors can be prepped for immediate network connection and setup the moment power rolls out on the installation site, saving time and resources. After the event, projectors can be reset to factory defaults while unplugged and ready for crating, an action that used to require OSD menu projection.
Remote Preview for a Smooth Start to Your Event
Remote Preview lets projectionists confirm video-signal integrity by viewing thumbnails of the input signal on a laptop prior to projection. Accessed via software or web browser, Remote Preview works with the projector in Standby or with the shutter on. It’s useful at events such as concerts where opportunities to check content on screen are limited due to stage traffic and other logistical factors. Remote Preview reduces chance of errors before the performance, and if an error is detected, helps narrow down the possible cause to the signal.
Preactivated Upgrade Kits for Geo Pro Software
Optional upgrade kits for free Geometry Manager Pro software usually require activation with license keys. With PT-RQ35K Series projectors, however, these kits are preactivated. As well as bitmap masking, the kits save installers time by automatically and simultaneously calibrating edge-blends using an external camera. This task otherwise requires manual brightness, color, and black-level calibration of each projector. Register PT-RQ35K Series projectors and download Geometry Manager Pro software at PASS.
Information Monitor
To simplify setup, PT-RQ35K Series features an Information Monitor near the control panel. The high-visibility screen visualizes menu navigation and provides a convenient way to configure network settings such as Projector ID without projecting the OSD menu. During operation, it shows projector status including temperature, runtime, error codes, and input signal information.
Quiet Mode Reduces Projection Noise
For applications in venues such as museums and theaters where full brightness isn’t necessary and background noise must be kept to a minimum, PT-RQ35K Series includes a Quiet Mode. Operating noise is reduced by 3 dB* in comparison to projection in Normal Mode. The perceived difference in operating noise between the two modes is significant and limits distraction in immersive projection environments. In this mode, time until light output declines to 50 % can be extended to up to 26,000 hours.
* Operating noise in Quiet Mode is 46 dB with brightness limited to 20,000 lm.
Red and Blue Lasers for Deep, Accurate Color
A combination of two blue and one red laser module expands color-gamut reproduction to 114 %* of the PT-RQ32K with 91 % DCI coverage, saturating the screen in lavish color and drawing the audience deeper into the artist’s world. Optimized blue-laser wavelengths achieve truer blue while the red laser intensifies red expression for a greater sense of realism.

Gradation Smoother Reduces Banding [PT-RQ35K Only]
Panasonic’s original Gradation Smoother function reduces banding noise in gradients of shaded color evident in content that lacks the optimal color bit-depth. Operators can select three levels* of image correction appropriate to the severity of the problem, or disable the function when it’s not needed. Gradation Smoother is your go-to solution when banding is evident in the projection, but there’s no time to re-edit the content.
* Projectors ship with Gradation Smoother set at a factory default of [2].
Flexible Black-Level Adjustment
Edge-blend uniformity on curved screens is difficult to achieve with line-based black-level border adjustment. Warped image-edges result in unequal blend-widths, and a lack of uniformity in overlapping areas is exposed when dark scenes are projected. PT-RQ35K Series gains new black-level calibration that allows black borders to be reshaped to suit screen curvature using up to 17 control points in much the same way as our Free Grid function. Adjacent images can be matched within a 0.5-dot margin—ideal for 4K video projection—while a wider range of adjustment in finer increments is also enabled.
Quad Pixel Drive
Quad Pixel Drive is an original Panasonic technology based on 1920 x 1200-pixel (WUXGA) DMD chips. It rapidly shifts each pixel vertically and horizontally to produce an image with a maximum physical resolution of 3840 x 2400 pixels (4K/16:10). Working in concert with 240 Hz* high-speed frame-processing, Quad Pixel Drive smoothly reproduces 4K content losing none of its filmlike detail to motion blur even when tracking fast-moving action or during slow-panning shots.
Dynamic Digital Control for Stable Color Performance
While red lasers heighten color expression, their successful implementation has been challenged by inherent sensitivity to temperature fluctuations. Dynamic Digital Control solves the problem by modulating red-laser output frame-by-frame to achieve optimal RGB balance according to color requirements and operating temperature, which is managed by a discrete cooling system. With stability guaranteed, multiple lasers are free to unleash immersive color with vivid reds and truer blues taking the viewer closer to the artist’s intention.
Shielded Laser Drive with Finless Radiator
Hermetically sealed DMDs, shielded laser drive, and separate filterless cooling systems for each light source are reinforced by a new finless radiator that’s about 30 % more effective than previous designs. The projectors are exhaustively tested to exceed the industry’s toughest dustproofing guidelines, and are made in Japan to uncompromising quality standards. Expect 20,000 hours* of maintenance-free projection at full brightness with high color uniformity right through to your next refresh cycle.
