Overview
The Optoma ZU820TST was developed specifically for demanding professional installations where high brightness and maximum flexibility are required in a confined space. As a short-throw projector with motorised zoom and lens shift, it enables precise projections in environments such as simulations, edge blending scenarios or immersive art installations. Thanks to maintenance-free DuraCore laser technology and the IP5X-certified optical engine, the system is designed for reliable round-the-clock continuous operation.
Benefits and special features
- DuraCore laser technology for up to 30,000 hours of maintenance-free operation in ECO mode.
- Short-throw lens with a throw ratio of 0.75–0.95:1 for large images from a short distance.
- Fully motorised lens shift (V: +/-50%, H: +/-15%) plus motorised zoom and focus.
- IP5X dust-resistant optical engine protects the core components from contamination and ensures longevity.
- Extensive installation options thanks to 360° projection and portrait mode support.
- HDBaseT interface for transmitting uncompressed Full HD video, audio and control over a single CAT cable.
- Certified for 24/7 continuous operation, ideal for digital signage and public exhibitions.
Picture and sound quality
Based on proven DLP technology, the Optoma ZU820TST produces a bright image with 8,200 lumens (6,600 ANSI lumens) and a dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1. The native WUXGA aspect ratio of 16:10 offers additional vertical workspace compared with standard Full HD, which is particularly advantageous in professional applications and for displaying data. The projector is also compatible with 4K and HDR content for improved detail and colour depth.
The integrated audio solution consists of two 10 W speakers with a total output of 20 watts, covering small to medium-sized rooms without an additional PA system.
