Description
The Optoma ZH551 is a Full HD DuraCore laser projector with built-in Miracast wireless screen sharing, so presenters can cast from a laptop or phone without a dongle or cable. It delivers 5,600 ISO lumens with a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio.
The IP6X-certified sealed optical engine and 30,000-hour laser light source support maintenance-free continuous operation. Power consumption is up to 45% lower than an equivalent Optoma lamp projector, and the unit is mercury-free.
A 1.6x zoom covering 1.4:1 to 2.24:1 throw ratios is unusually flexible for this class, giving a 100 inch image anywhere from about 3.1m to 5m. Vertical lens shift of +15% and 360-degree plus portrait projection add further mounting options.
Optoma Management Suite (OMSC) allows remote management, real-time monitoring and scheduling across an estate of projectors, which is useful where units are spread across a site.
Connectivity covers dual HDMI 2.0, VGA, RS232, RJ45 and a 12V trigger.
