The Japan Air Self-Defense Force safeguards the skies of Japan, and Hamamatsu Air Park is where they exhibit jet fighters and defense equipment and introduce the activities of the Japan Air Self-Defense Force to the general public. Within the Air Park, one of the most popular attractions is the All-Around Theatre where visitors are treated to the sight of dynamic images that expand panoramically above their heads, such as the acrobatic flight of the Blue Impulse jets. The image projection system has recently been upgraded from the previous film system to a projector system using Panasonic PT-DZ10K 3-Chip DLP™ Projectors.

“We‘re very happy with the newly installed projector system. Many people come to our theater repeatedly, and they comment that the images are now better. The system is easier to operate than before, and the staff is also pleased with the new system.” -Manager of the All-Around Theatre

Panasonic PT-DZ10K takes the system from film to digital

From its opening in 1999, the All-Around Theatre used a 70-mm film system. It was an image display system with a proven track record for use in planetariums. However, it was decided to replace that system with a digital system since the general trend is moving toward digital and also because digital is advantageous in producing content. The staff examined a number of systems, and selected a system configured with Panasonic PT-DZ10K 3-Chip DLP™ Projectors. The system was adjusted so that images projected on the large 360-degree semispherical screen form a single continuous image. The large, clear images are very popular with the staff and visitors.
