Optoma ZU860 - WUXGA - 8500 Ansi - Laser - DLP projector - for interchangeable lens - Black

The Optoma ZU860 WUXGA laser projector delivers high quality colour, exceptional brightness consistency and low maintenance. The ZU860 has a longer life light source and an independently certified IP5X dust rating for increased safety. With a very high brightness of 8500 Ansi lumens,the Optoma ZU860 installation projector ensures a constant light output of up to 30,000 hours. The outstanding image quality is complemented by the WUXGA resolution (1900x1200), which enables the projector to achieve visually impressive, lifelike images with exceptional detail. The projector's laser light source guarantees low maintenance and maximum reliability. The ZU860 is also characterised by its high flexibility, as it offers seven interchangeable lens options, including an ultra-short throw lens and a dome lens. In addition to the integrated edge blending and warping functions, the ZU860 also offers support for portrait format and 360-degree orientation. There is also an HDBaseT™ input to give you additional control flexibility and reduce installation complexity.

Get outstanding images with DuraCore technology

The ZU860 laser projector uses high-quality laser technology to project the best possible image. In many situations, the perceived brightness of laser projectors can be twice that of a conventional lamp model. They also provide greater efficiency to ensure uniform brightness. In addition, the ZU860 offers superior colour performance, instant on/off and an exceptional lifetime of up to 30,000 hours. Because the Optoma ZU860 laser projector is equipped with DuraCore technology, you get industry-leading runtimes as they utilise advanced laser diode cooling techniques and an innovative dust-resistant design. In fact, all Optoma projectors are designed for 24/7 use. The projector guarantee is based on standard use during a normal working day. For optimum performance, it is recommended to switch it off or into standby for 30 minutes every 24 hours to extend the life of the lamp.

Integrated warping and edge blending processor

The Optoma ZU860 installation projector has an integrated warping and edge blending processor. Warping, also known as distortion correction, is the process of adjusting the projected image to fit an irregularly shaped or curved surface. For example, if you want to project an image onto a concave or convex surface, the image may appear distorted. The warping function then gives you a correct and clear display. The ZU860 also offers the edge blending function: This seamlessly merges the overlapping areas of two or more images projected next to each other or overlapping with each other. This is of course particularly practical if you want to create a large image with several projectors to create a homogeneous overall image. To be able to use these functions with the ZU860, you need a compatible multi-output graphics card with overlap function.

Full lens shift and keystone correction

With the horizontal keystone correction and the individually adjustable image corners, you can create a perfectly angular image. Ideal for uneven walls or unusual projector placements. In addition, Auto Keystone Correction automatically adjusts the keystone effect when the projector is off-axis to create an aligned image. To perfectly align the image to the projection surface, the ZU860 projector has a vertical and horizontal keystone correction of +/-20°. However, a keystone correction always has an influence on the image quality and therefore, if possible, a lens shift correction should always be favoured. This is because the lens shift directly shifts the lens and allows you to perfectly adjust the image to the screen without affecting the image quality. Depending on which lens you choose, you have a greater variety of positioning options. This makes it easier to align the projector and provides a wider range of image sizes. 

Amazing colour, high contrast and brightness, WUXGA resolution

The Optoma ZU860 gives you reliable colour performance: from accurate sRGB colours to razor-sharp presentations, it always offers the display mode that suits your needs. Give your images more depth, because the ZU860 laser projector's high contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1 makes white tones appear brighter and black tones appear deep black. This makes your images vivid and texts appear sharp and clear - ideal for business and teaching. The included Extreme Black technology ensures that the laser diodes are switched off completely as soon as a completely black image frame is recognised. This feature is perfect for situations where a total image blackout is required. The Optoma ZU860 also has a WUXGA resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels in 16:10 widescreen format. With a higher resolution than Full HD, WUXGA offers a wider viewing area for engineering graphics, Excel spreadsheets or PowerPoint presentations and is therefore perfect for your everyday business or school work. The projector combines the ultra-high brightness of 8500 Ansi lumens (9600 lumens with fixed lens) with vibrant colours for a vivid, true-to-life image even in brightly lit environments. The Colour Management System (CMS) function produces true-to-life colours and allows you to adjust the colours precisely for optimal accuracy. In addition, the Optoma laser projector also offers you the ability to display content in 3D from virtually any 3D source. The Optoma ZU860 can also project images along the horizontal axis over 360 degrees. Ideal for digital signage applications: Rotate the projector 90 degrees to project a portrait image. The advanced Light Sensing technology allows you to set brightness levels that remain unchanged over time. Ideal for providing constant brightness in fine-tuned installations.

HDR compatible

Optoma's HDR compatible projectors are able to receive and display HDR meta data. This allows you to see even more detail and texture. Objects are displayed more realistically and these additional details create a greater sense of depth - as if you were looking through a window.

IP5X certification - airtight optical unit

The Optoma ZU860 is certified (independently tested) to IEC Standard 60529 with an IP5X dust resistance rating. Outstanding dust resistance combined with impressive brightness provide industry leading durability - essential for 24/7 operation in challenging environments.

Wired remote control connection

The wired remote control connection allows you to control all aspects of the projector individually without having to be in line of sight of the projector - essential when using multiple devices during live events. (Cable optionally available). 

Automatic switch-off function and True AV Mute 

Switch off your projector instantly without a second thought. This means you don't have to wait for the projector to cool down before switching it off. The ZU860's True AV Mute allows you to switch your projector's light source on and off at the touch of a button. In contrast to the standard AV Mute function, no light is emitted from the projector - for a 100% black image. 

Constant Power 

The Constant Power function of the Optoma ZU860 allows the user to adjust the power levels to meet the individual requirements of the installation. Power levels can be set to achieve the brightest image or the longest runtime of the light source - or somewhere in between. 

Network and control 

A wide range of control options make the projector easy to monitor and manage. Optoma projectors can be easily monitored and controlled with virtually any control system thanks to a wide range of RS232 commands. The Dynamic Discovery protocol built into the ZU860 laser projector allows easy installation with any AMX control system. With the compatible Crestron RoomView® software, you can switch on and off, monitor and control up to 250 projectors simultaneously from any PC. Programme on/off control and adjust settings via a simple web browser. The ability to send emergency messages or automatic lamp replacement reminders is also programmable. The ZU860 laser projector is able to receive commands via Telnet, allowing easy installation with Telnet compatible control systems. 

Connectivity options with the Optoma ZU860 

Send uncompressed Full HD video, audio, network and control commands over a single CAT-type cable up to 100 metres without signal loss for quick and easy installations. HDBaseT™ simplifies installation and saves time and money. The two HDMI 2.0 connections allow you to connect laptops, for example, and project your content directly onto the big screen. The included USB-A port supplies power to an HDMI dongle such as Google Chromecast, for example. In addition, the ZU860 can transmit signals via the HDMI ports and the DVI-D port simultaneously to deliver PbP or PiP from two digital sources - perfect for video conferencing and other collaborative applications. The Optoma ZU860 offers both PBP (Picture-By-Picture) and PIP (Picture-In-Picture) functionality, allowing you to use the display as a multiscreen solution at any time. This function is very useful if you want to display several contents at the same time, e.g. to be able to carry out a direct comparison. However, this split-screen function is also necessary in operations control centres, for example to be able to watch several live videos at the same time. With the PiP function, a smaller image (e.g. a window or an image section) is superimposed on the main image on the screen. The main image remains visible in the background and is normally displayed larger and more dominant. With the PbP function, the screen is divided into several sections. Each section of the screen is a separate input source (e.g. a PC, laptop, smartphone, etc.).
