Clear Projection Tailored to Your Space
Up to 8,000 lm1 for Stunning Visuals Under Lights
The VMZ82 Series’ high-efficiency optical engine delivers up to 8,000 lm brightness, ensuring clear, sharp, and vibrant visuals in well-lit spaces. Enhance viewer comfort and communication quality in meetings and classes without dimming the lights or pulling the blinds.
Dynamic Contrast Adds Depth, Clarity, and Realism
Dynamic Contrast achieves a 3,000,000:11 contrast ratio by adjusting light output to each scene’s requirements. It analyzes the signal frame-by-frame to ensure smooth scene transitions while sharply defining the differences between light and dark. The result is deeper blacks, brighter whites, and vibrant colors that clarify every detail, even in shadowed areas.
Optimized Visuals for Your Space
Daylight View Basic uses a sensor to measure ambient light levels in your room and adjusts sharpness, halftone color, contrast, and brightness to optimize image visibility regardless of room illumination. The result is a clearer, more detailed image, even in challenging conditions.
Smooth, Crisp Details at WUXGA
WUXGA (1920 x 1200) LCD panels improve detail definition for a more comfortable and insightful experience. Text edges are smooth, sharp, and easy to read, even for those seated furthest from the screen.
Supports Widescreen Video Content
Display widescreen content, such as 21:9 video conferencing layouts, at its original aspect ratio. Remote participants’ faces can be aligned at eye level with in-room attendees, improving communication and engagement during meetings or classes.
Quiet Operation for Hybrid Lessons and Meetings
The projector’s heat-resistant light source reduces operating noise, enhancing the clarity of conversations during in-person or hybrid lessons and meetings. In Quiet 2 Mode, operating noise is just 25 dB¹—about as soft as the sound of rustling leaves.
Stylish Design Blends Into Your Room
Available in black or white, VMZ82 Series projectors feature a compact form that harmonizes unobtrusively into any environment. Whether installed in an office, classroom, or museum, the projector minimizes distractions, keeping the focus on your presentation.
Stress-Free Installation Flexibility
Installation Streamlined with 1.6x Zoom and Lens Shift
Maximize your screen area in rooms of any shape or size. The VMZ82 Series can project a 100-inch image from 2.35 m (7.54 ft) and delivers bright, vibrant visuals on screens up to 300 inches. Its 1.6x optical zoom (throw ratio: 1.09–1.77:1) offers flexibility in mounting, making it easier to work around ceiling obstructions or adjust the image to fit the screen from an existing mount. Combined with lens shift (V: 0%, 44%; H: ±20%), it supports off-axis and high mounting positions while maintaining accurate image geometry.
Digital Zoom Extender: Freedom for Every Layout
Digital Zoom Extender and Digital Image Shift functions are useful when the desired mounting position is too far from the screen or on-axis placement is impractical. Digital Image Shift supports 10% image shift in any direction, enabling off-axis or high-ceiling mounting. Digital Zoom Extender lets you retain your previous projector’s mount position by extending the throw distance beyond the optical zoom range, potentially saving on construction work.
Quickly Find the Projection Angle with Angle Monitor
Aligning the projection angle with the design simulation can be challenging and usually requires two people. The VMZ82 Series features a built-in gyro sensor that detects changes in the projector’s pitch and roll angles, which are graphically displayed in the OSD settings menu. Installers can adjust the projection angle without needing assistance.
Correct Localized Distortion with Grid Adjustment
Grid Adjustment offers pinpoint correction of localized distortion on the screen caused by obstructions using the remote control. Users can select various grid resolutions to enable point-by-point or line-based batch corrections. Correction data is saved when grid or point numbers are changed for seamless transitions from basic to detailed adjustments.
Intuitive 6-Point Screen Adjustment System
The VMZ82 Series features 6-Point Screen Adjustment, which allows you to remove trapezoidal distortion when projecting from an angle using the 4-Corner and H/V Keystone Correction functions. Additional control points at the top and bottom of the screen can be used to remove distortion when projecting into a corner.
Built-in Geometric Adjustment Suite
Geometric Adjustment includes essential tools for correcting image distortion when projecting at angles or onto curved and irregular surfaces. It supports spherical, cylindrical, and complex screen shapes without a connected PC. Features such as Maintain Aspect Ratio and Independent Corner Adjustment simplify the correction process. Additionally, users can save and reapply adjustment settings, making it easy to manage corrections and track progress.
Single-Cable 4K DIGITAL LINK Solution
4K DIGITAL LINK is a connection based on HDBaseT™ that supports long-distance video, audio, and control-signal transmission via a single CAT 5e LAN cable, reducing installation complexity in schools, offices, and entertainment spaces.
Accepts 4K Signals via HDMI™ and DIGITAL LINK
The VMZ82 Series accepts 4K video signals via DIGITAL LINK and HDMI™ terminals, simplifying projector integration into your existing infrastructure. This capability enables 4K1 signal transmission to display endpoints with varying screen resolutions, eliminating the need for external converters or content re-encoding.
Supports Next-Generation Control Protocols
Dedicated LAN terminal and DIGITAL LINK connections support the latest protocols, including IPv6, Art-Net DMX, PJLink™ (Class 2), Crestron Connected® V2, Crestron® XiO Cloud, and Extron XTP®. The projector also includes an emulation function to ensure compatibility with legacy management software.
Note: The optional AJ-WM50 Series Wireless Module does not support IPv6.
Data Cloning Function via LAN or USB Memory Devices
It can be time-consuming to adjust the same settings on each projector in your fleet. To expedite this task, the VMZ82 Series features a data cloning function that allows main projector settings, including saved adjustment data, to be copied to sub-projectors via LAN or USB device.
Note: Supported on identical models only. Excludes passwords, projector name/ID, time, date, time zone, and network settings. Data can be copied to a maximum of 99 sub-projectors via LAN.
Start Work Instantly with Quick On
Start the class or meeting instantly without delays that can lose your group’s attention. Unlike lamp-based projectors, which take time to warm up, the VMZ82 Series can project content from Quick Startup mode in about one second. It also features a Direct Off function, so you can turn the projector off anytime via the room breaker switch without risk of damage.
Effortless Automation with Built-In Scheduling
The VMZ82 Series introduces a new scheduling feature accessed via the OSD settings menu. You can program the projector to perform automated actions, including power on/off, shutter activation, and input selection, at specific times throughout the week.
CEC Command-Compatible HDMI™ Makes Life Easy
Both the projector’s HDMI™ inputs are compatible with CEC commands, enabling use with fewer remote controllers. The projector will automatically switch on, play your content, and switch off when it detects these commands from a compatible source device.
Project Wirelessly from Your Smartphone or Laptop
Share content wirelessly from your laptop or smartphone. Just scan the QR code shown in the on-screen display menu using your smartphone’s camera, and your device will connect to the projector automatically over wireless LAN, with no SSID or passwords required.

PressIT comprises transmitters connected to your devices and a receiver connected to the projector. For neat installation, power is supplied via the projector’s DC 5 V/2 A USB port.
Note: Wireless Presentation System PressIT is sold separately. Availability may vary by country or region.
Efficient and Eco-Conscious Design
Panasonic's Most Efficient Portable Projector
The PT-VMZ82 Series is 25%1 more energy efficient than the current VMZ71 Series, generating an impressive 20.9 lumens of light per watt of energy consumed in NORMAL mode. Enjoy significant energy savings and reduce the carbon footprint of every unit in your fleet.
Eco-Friendly Recycled Materials
The plastics used in the main projector body contain about 47%1 recycled resins, reducing the utilization of virgin materials. Recyclable cardboard insulation replaces foam in the shipping carton, and unnecessary packaging materials have been eliminated to reduce waste. By supporting eco-friendly manufacturing and recycling-based programs at end-of-life, you can help reduce your organization’s environmental impact.
Auto Power On Function Limits Energy Waste
Panasonic laser projectors can enter Quick Startup sleep mode after a certain period without an input signal, allowing playback to resume in about one second. However, if no signal is detected before the Quick Startup timer expires, the projector shuts down and must be powered on again manually. The VMZ82 Series resolves this with Auto Power On. This feature automatically powers up the projector and resumes playback when an input signal is detected, even after the projector has shut down, minimizing interruptions and conserving energy.
Works with Multi Monitoring & Control Software
The VMZ82 Series is compatible with Multi Monitoring & Control Software, which enables management of up to 2,048 display devices from a remote PC over LAN. The software facilitates status monitoring, device control, playlist delivery, playback scheduling, and system map visualization. For more information, please visit our software information webpage.
