Description
The Optoma ZK451 is a compact true 4K UHD DuraCore laser projector delivering 4,500 ISO lumens at native 3840x2160, in a chassis up to 34% smaller than previous Optoma models. It brings genuine 4K resolution into a business projector form factor rather than requiring an installation-class body.
HDR and HLG compatibility widen the dynamic range on supported content, and aspect ratio support extends to 21:9 and 32:9 as well as the usual formats, which suits wide collaboration displays and simulation work.
The DuraCore laser light source is rated for 30,000 hours with no lamp replacements, cutting power consumption by up to 45% against an equivalent Optoma lamp projector.
A 1.6x zoom spanning 1.4:1 to 2.24:1 throw ratios gives unusual placement freedom, covering 30 to 300 inch screens at 0.93m to 9.3m, with 360-degree and portrait projection.
Optoma Management Suite (OMSC) provides remote monitoring and scheduling, and the Smart Control app handles setup from a mobile device. Connectivity includes dual HDMI 2.0 with one eARC port.
