Overview
The Optoma ZU820T was developed specifically for demanding professional installations in large conference rooms, auditoriums and digital signage. Thanks to DuraCore laser technology, this model offers exceptionally consistent brightness over a long operating life. The combination of high WUXGA resolution and extensive installation features such as motorised zoom and lens shift makes it a flexible solution for complex projection environments.
Benefits and special features
- DuraCore laser light source with a lifespan of up to 30,000 hours for virtually maintenance-free operation.
- High installation flexibility thanks to motorised 1.6x zoom and generous lens shift (V: +/-55%, H: +/-25%).
- Integrated HDBaseT interface enables transmission of uncompressed Full HD video over long distances.
- Supports 24/7 continuous operation and 360° projection as well as portrait mode for creative digital signage solutions.
- Excellent image uniformity of 95% ensures even brightness distribution across the entire screen.
- Full 3D support and HDR compatibility for lifelike, three-dimensional images.
Picture and sound quality
Based on DLP technology, the Optoma ZU820T delivers impressive brightness of 8,800 lumens, ensuring clear images even in brightly lit rooms. The dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1 guarantees deep blacks and precise rendering of dark image areas. Thanks to 4K and HDR compatibility, the projector processes high-resolution signals for greater depth of detail.
The integrated audio system consists of two 10 W speakers with a total output of 20 watts. This is enough to cover medium-sized presentation rooms without an external PA system.

- 1 x HDBaseT for signal transmission via Cat cable

- 1 x HDMI out for signal loop-through
