Panasonic PT-MZ20K Quad-Projector All-Weather Forced-Air Enclosure System

Pole Mounted for Wall 3D Mapping

A high-density, pole-mounted projection array system featuring four Panasonic PT-MZ20K 20,000-lumen laser projectors in a unified forced-air cooled enclosure, engineered for permanent outdoor architectural projection mapping. This configuration creates a seamless, ultra-bright image canvas for large-scale 3D mapping shows on building facides, monuments, and structures.

System Architecture & Configuration

1. Projection Array Core

• Configuration: 2×2 Grid Array within single unified housing

2. Enclosure Design & Environmental Protection

Structural Frame:

• Material: Heavy-duty marine-grade aluminum with stainless steel reinforcement

• Construction: Modular quad-bay design with shared structural chassis

• Environmental Rating: IP66 Certified (dust-tight, protected against powerful water jets)

• Corrosion Protection: Powder-coated finish with additional anti-corrosion treatment

Optical Window System:

• Material: 5mm optically pure fused silica with anti-reflective coating
• Construction: Quad-zone heated windows (independent temperature control per projector)
• Features: UV-blocking treatment, hydrophobic coating for self-cleaning effect
• Protection: Impact-resistant polycarbonate storm shield (optional)

3. Pole Mounting & Structural Engineering

Pole Specifications:

• Type: Galvanized steel or aluminum lighting/power pole
• Height: 6-12 meters (adjustable based on throw distance requirements)
• Diameter: 250-400mm (supports enclosure weight + wind load)
• Foundation: Concrete footing with seismic anchoring for permanent installation

Custom Mounting Bracket:

• Design: Dual-arm cantilever system with vibration damping
• Adjustability:
  • Pan: ±15° (coarse) + ±5° (fine adjustment)
  • Tilt: -30° to +10° (for optimal projection angle)
  • Rotation: 360° continuous (for alignment flexibility)
• Load Capacity: Rated for 150kg (enclosure + mounting hardware)
• Wind Resistance: Engineered for 160 km/h (100 mph) sustained winds
• Safety Features: Shear pins for extreme conditions, tamper-proof fasteners

Installation & Deployment

Installation Process
