Optoma 12K Lumen Projector Now Available to Light Up Large Venues
Fremont, Calif. (PRWEB) April 08, 2016 -- Optoma, a world leading manufacturer of video and audio products, today announced its high brightness WU1500 Large Venue projector, designed specifically for demanding professional applications, is now available for purchase through authorized distributors and dealers. Offering superb image quality with flexible and reliable projection, it is ideal for everything from auditoriums and houses of worship, to stage shows and theatres.
The Optoma WU1500 is a dual-lamp WUXGA projector built to deliver bright and colorful content in high-demand installs – featuring 12,000 lumens and continuous 24/7 operation capability. Its dual lamps can be operated simultaneously to deliver maximum brightness, or venues can leverage its lamp relay function to alternate between the two lamps, effectively doubling lamp replacement time.
With an emphasis on flexibility, six optional lenses utilizing low dispersion (LD) glass ensure perfect focus with minimal drop in brightness, even over long throw distances. The lens options, including short throw, wide zoom, standard throw and long throw, all have motorized shift, zoom and focus mechanisms for easy and accurate adjustment after initial installation. Color flare and chromatic aberration are negligible, resulting in the best possible image quality.
In addition, WU1500’s image processor includes picture-by-picture and picture-in-picture capabilities, allowing simultaneous display of images from two separate sources, as well as built-in image blending and warping technology – making it ideal for complex multi-projector environments. It supports full 360-degree operation, enabling floor to ceiling projection, and can operate in portrait mode, increasing the scope of abnormal installation possibilities.
Key Features of the WU1500 include:
• Resolution: WUXGA (1920 x 1200)
