Description
The Optoma ZH521 is a compact Full HD 1080p DuraCore laser projector delivering 5,500 ISO lumens with a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, in a chassis up to 34% smaller than previous Optoma models.
The IP6X-certified sealed optical engine and 30,000-hour laser light source support maintenance-free continuous operation, with power consumption up to 45% lower than an equivalent Optoma lamp projector, and no mercury.
It adds remote management over the earlier ZH520. Optoma Management Suite (OMSC) gives real-time monitoring, scheduling and remote control across an estate of projectors, and the Optoma Smart Control app allows command, control and image correction from a phone or tablet during commissioning.
A 1.3x zoom spanning 1.13:1 to 1.47:1 throw ratios covers 30 to 300 inch screens at 0.75m to 7.46m, with 360-degree and portrait projection for flexible mounting.
