Description
The Vivitek DK5153Z is a native 4K-UHD (3840 x 2160) single-chip DLP laser projector delivering 6500 ANSI lumens with a 3,000,000:1 full on/off contrast ratio. Built on Vivitek's D5000Z conference platform, it is designed for lecture halls, boardrooms and corporate spaces that need clean 4K imagery even under high ambient light, with a laser light source rated for up to 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation.
Its installed lens offers a 1.15-1.9:1 throw ratio with lens shift, keystone and 4-corner correction for straightforward placement, and the DK5153Z includes built-in edge blending and geometric warping so multiple units can be combined for wide-format or curved-screen installations. The laser-to-lens optical path is fully sealed to IP6X, protecting brightness consistency from dust over the projector's lifetime.
The white-cased DK5153Z ships with dual HDMI 2.0 inputs and an output, RJ45 with optional HDBaseT, RS-232 control, 3D-sync output and USB-A/mini-B ports, and supports Vivitek's PJ-Control software for remote fleet management. It is covered by Vivitek's 5-year (or 20,000-hour laser) warranty.
