Reduced gap expansion minimises brightness gradation, while new cooling system allows uniformity in the temperature of the glass bulb which prevents the glass from clouding.
Easily select power-saving ECO Modes with a single button push; additional environmentally-friendly settings are easily accessible via intuitive menus.
Projector lamp brightness is gradually reduced automatically if no input signal is detected, or after a pre-set time – cutting power consumption by up to 30% and saving energy bills.
Lamp brightness is automatically adjusted brightness depending on picture content: the darker the image, the greater the energy savings (up to approx. 70% lamp power reduction, based on image).
Touch a button on the projector remote and the picture’s muted instantly – cutting power consumption down to 30% and saving lamp hours. Another touch and the projector’s instantly powered back up to resume your presentation. There’s also a separate button to mute audio only.
Touch a button at the end of your presentation and projector is turned off immediately, without going through a lengthy power-down cycle.
There’s no need to go through Standby mode when powering up the projector: the projector activates as soon as power is supplied.
Even if the projector is aligned too high or too low in relation to the screen, keystone adjustment electronically adjusts the projected image for an accurately-proportioned picture with true verticals.
Phase, Pitch and Shift values are automatically optimised when using the projector with a PC source.
The projector automatically switches to the correct input, simplifying set-up and saving time.
The projector can select between two audio sources, routing them via a variable audio output to the room amplification system.
Instantly magnify a selected area of the screen by up to 4x for a really close-up view of images from a connected PC.
Your investment is protected with a package of security measures including password protection and physical anti-theft anchor points.
