Description

The ZU820TST is an ultra bright short throw professional installation projector delivering 8,200 ISO lumens (6,900 ANSI) with 4K and HDR-compatible inputs, aimed at simulation, edge-blending, projection mapping and other immersive applications that demand both high brightness and a short throw lens. A 0.75-0.95:1 motorised zoom lens, along with full motorised lens shift, makes fine alignment across multiple units straightforward.

The projector's IP5X-certified, dust-resistant optical engine supports 24/7 operation, and Optoma's DuraCore laser technology, combined with advanced laser diode cooling, delivers up to 30,000 hours of maintenance-free projection in Eco mode. This combination of brightness, durability and installation flexibility suits large venues and multi-projector setups where downtime isn't an option.

Dual built-in 10W speakers and HDBaseT and LAN connectivity round out a projector built for professional integrators working on demanding permanent installations that need consistent high-brightness WUXGA output with a short throw lens.

Planning from a real wall? Use the projector screen size calculator to upload a photo, preview the image to scale and find projectors that fit within your maximum available space. Replacing an existing projector? The projector replacement calculator checks whether this lens covers the ratio your current mount needs.

Distances are lens-to-screen, calculated from the manufacturer's stated throw ratio; allow for lens shift and mounting hardware. Always confirm against the manufacturer's installation guide before fixing mounts.
