Description
The Sharp V731U-W is a Professional Value Series WUXGA 3LCD laser installation projector for higher education, houses of worship and museums. It delivers 7,300 lumens normal (7,600 centre) at native 1920x1200 resolution with a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and supports interchangeable motorized lenses with a standard throw ratio of 1.3-3.02:1 covering screens from 40" to 500".
A maintenance-free laser light source rated for 20,000 hours removes the need for lamp replacement, while wide motorized lens shift (H:+/-20, V:+50/-10) and built-in edge blending and projector stacking allow seamless multi-projector installations.
Connectivity covers HDBaseT and dual HDMI (HDCP 1.4) inputs plus RS-232 and RJ45 LAN control, with support for Crestron, Extron, AMX and PJLink for centralised AV management. This white-cabinet unit is finished in Sharp's V-series white housing.
