Description
The Optoma ZK521ST is a compact true 4K UHD short throw DuraCore laser projector delivering 5,100 ISO lumens at native 3840x2160 with a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio. It is the brightest 4K short throw model in Optoma's compact laser range.
The fixed 0.79:1 lens covers 30 to 300 inch screens at 0.53m to 5.25m, with vertical lens shift of -106% to 127% allowing mounting well off the screen centreline, which is unusual for a fixed short throw lens.
HDR and HLG compatibility widen the dynamic range, and aspect ratio support extends to 21:9 and 32:9 as well as standard formats.
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.
Optoma Management Suite (OMSC) provides remote monitoring and scheduling, and the Smart Control app handles setup from a mobile device. 360-degree and portrait projection are supported.
