Description
The ViewSonic PA503S is a price-performance projector built for classrooms and small meeting rooms, pairing a native SVGA (800x600) resolution with 4,000 ANSI lumens of brightness from a 190W UHP lamp. SuperColor technology widens the colour gamut for clear, natural presentations and video in a variety of lighting conditions.
Connectivity covers HDMI, dual VGA in, VGA out and composite video with audio in/out, making it simple to connect laptops, document cameras and legacy AV equipment side by side. The lamp runs for 5,000 hours in normal mode or up to 15,000 hours in SuperEco mode, and Auto Power Off shuts the projector down when no signal is present.
A 1.1x optical zoom and 0.8x-2.0x digital zoom combine with vertical keystone correction of plus or minus 40 degrees to project an image from 30 to 300 inches, and support for 3D content from HDMI-enabled sources adds flexibility for training and demonstration use.
