Bright, Easy-to-Use, Dust-Resistant
Portable Projectors
The Panasonic LB90 Series is designed for people who want
a projector with excellent basic performance and ease of usein
both portable and ceiling-mounted applications. This versatile series
ensures solid performance with a dust-resistant structure, which
minimises any dust-related image degradation, and a low standby
power consumption of 0.9 W*
1
to reduce environmental impact.
The PT-LB90NTEA also features a network function that
allows wireless/wired LAN congurations. Connecting the projector
to a wireless LAN system further boosts the layout exibility during
presentations.
Wired LAN connection enables remote operation, which is
especially ideal for ceiling-mounted use.
Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software, which lets
you monitor and control several Panasonic projectors from a single
computer, is also available.
The compact body of the LB90 Series is lled with Panasonic
projector technologies to meet needs of many kinds.

Dust-Resistant Structure Minimises
Image Degradation
After a projector has been used for some
time, dust particles that have entered the
interior accumulate on the optical compo-
nents and lower their performance. The
LB90 Series prevents this with a unique
dust-resistant structure. The LB90 Series
has touch-sensor controls that eliminate
the gaps around conventional buttons, and
a lens cover. The design also incorporates
a cover that protects the zoom/focus ring
when not in use. These features combine
to help reduce dust entry. And they all work
together with the high-performance Micro
Cut Filter, which effectively traps dust parti-
cles, to minimise brightness degradation.
Daylight View 4 Offers Clear, Crisp
Images Even in Bright Surroundings*
2
Daylight View 4 mea-
sures the surrounding
illumination with a
built-in ambient light sensor, and corrects
the image in real-time to project clear,
crisp images even in brightly lit rooms. It
improves perceived sharpness, brightness
and contrast, and projects lifelike images
with remarkable depth.
Low Standby Power Consumption of
0.9 W*
1
The ecological design of the LB90 Series
greatly reduces its environmental impact. In
Eco Standby mode, power consumption is
only 0.9 W*
1
. This reduction brings standby
power consumption down to about 1/3 the
level of previous Panasonic models*
3
. As
examples of other environmental design
features, no styrofoam is used in packing
materials, no halogenated flame retardants
are used in the cabinet, lead-free glass is
used for the lens, and an Auto Off Timer
switches the projector to Standby mode
when no input signal is received for a pre-
set time. The LB90 Series also complies
with the standards of the RoHS Directive*
4
.

Quick and Easy Set-Up for Flexible
Presentations
The Wireless Manager ME5.5 application
that is included with the projector makes it
easy to send and display a computer screen
when the PC and projector are connected to
a wired or wireless*
5
LAN system. You can
also send audio*
6
and video*
7
files. The
application is compatible with both Win-
dows

and Macintosh, and can be used

with a wide range of computers. Wireless
Manager ME 5.5 operation can be control-
led with the launcher that is displayed on
the PC screen. Its graphic display further
simplifies operation. When connected to a
wireless LAN*
5
system, you dont need to
connect a VGA cable to the PC, so set-up is
quick and easy, and the layout is highly
flexible. You can also project several PC
screens, so meetings with a large number
of participants can proceed smoothly.
Multi-Live Mode
You can simultaneously display up to 16
computer screens, opening the door to a
variety of new projector applications.
Projector Signal Map (S-MAP)
The Projector Signal Map graphically dis-
plays all of the presently connectable pro-
jectors in three levels that indicate the
strength of the wireless signals between the
projectors and your computer. This lets you
easily search for the projectors you want
even when wireless projectors are being
used in adjacent conference rooms or
classrooms.
Easy Remote Operation
A Web browser on a computer connected
through a wireless*
5
or wired LAN system
lets you remotely operate projectors and
check their status. An e-mail messaging
function can also notify you when a lamp
needs replacement, and indicate the overall
projector status. In addition, Multi Projector
Monitoring and Control Software*
8
is availa-
ble for monitoring and controlling multiple
Panasonic projectors from a single PC. The
wired LAN terminal is compatible with
PJLink(Class1), an open protocol that is
used by many manufacturers, to enable
integrated control of systems that contain
different brands of projectors.

Convenient and Easy Functions for
Portable Use
The compact, lightweight body (approxi-
mately 2.96 kg (6.5 lbs)) makes it easy to
move the projector from one classroom or
conference room to another.
With Speed Start, the image appears in
about three seconds*
9
after you press the
power button.
Auto Setup automatically corrects the
image position, dot clock and clock phase
when the projectors input signal changes.
Auto Signal Search automatically detects
what kind of source is connected and
begins projection.*
10
With Real-Time Keystone Correction, the
projector automatically senses if you
adjust its angle (in the vertical direction)
during operation and instantly makes
whatever keystone correction is necessary
for optimal viewing.
Whiteboard and
Blackboard modes
are convenient when
projecting in rooms
that dont have a
screen.
Direct Power Off uses accumulated power
to keep the cooling fan operating until the
lamp is cooled, so you can disconnect the
power cable immediately after use.
A soft carrying
case with shoulder
belt is supplied.
Convenient Functions for
Ceiling-Mounted Use
Versatile interfaces: Interfaces include two
computer (RGB) inputs, a wired LAN ter-
minal*
11
, and a serial (RS-232C) terminal
for external control. The serial terminal
has an emulator function that lets you
continue using existing control systems
when replacing a previous Panasonic
model. It is also possible to output audio
during Standby mode. This is convenient
when connecting an external audio sys-
tem*
12
through the projector.
The lamp can be
easily replaced from
the rear panel with-
out having to remove
the projector from
the ceiling mount
bracket.
Direct Power Off lets you turn off the
rooms main power switch without turning
off the projector individually, so you can
leave the room right after a meeting ends.
Effective Theft Prevention with the
Startup Logo
You can change the default Panasonic start
up logo to any logo you want. A new logo
can be easily uploaded by connecting a
computer to the LB90 Series through the
LAN*
13
or serial connection by using the
Logo Transfer Software*
14
. An abundance of
other security measures are also included,
such as a security anchor, a user password,
a control panel lock, and text superimposing.

N O T E S O N U S E
The projector uses a high-voltage mercury lamp that contains high internal pressure. This lamp may break, emitting a large sound, or fail to illuminate, due to impact or extended use. The length of time that it
takes for the lamp to break or fail to illuminate varies greatly depending on individual lamp characteristics and usage conditions.
The brightness of the lamp will gradually decrease with use.
The projector includes consumable parts. The frequency of replacement for the lamp and other consumable parts will increase if the projector is subjected to extended, continuous use. For details, please consult
a service representative.
