Description

The Optoma ZH521ST is a short throw Full HD 1080p DuraCore laser projector delivering 5,300 ISO lumens with a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio. It is the brightest short throw model in Optoma's compact laser range, suiting larger classrooms and halls where the projector still needs to sit close to the screen.

The fixed 0.79:1 lens covers 30 to 300 inch screens at 0.53m to 5.25m, and vertical lens shift of -106% to 127% is unusual on a fixed short throw projector, allowing the unit to be mounted well above or below the screen centreline.

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.

Optoma Management Suite (OMSC) provides remote monitoring and scheduling, and the Smart Control app handles setup from a mobile device. Connectivity covers dual HDMI 2.0, VGA, RS232, RJ45, 12V trigger and 3D sync.
