Optoma launches LED+ short throw LED/laser hybrid projectors

Projector specialist Optoma have announced the new ZW210ST and ZX210STWXGA/XGA LED/laser hybrid projectors. The lamp‐free LED+ design represents the latest innovation in the acclaimed Optoma range for demanding education and professional applications.
The new hybrid projectors were first showcased at ISE 2012 and demonstrated that lamp free LED+
operation can pack an impressive performance as well as driving environmentally friendly design with an exceptional life‐span.
Head of Product Management, Justin Halls commented: “LED+ technology is the future of projection for
education. Our lamp free LED+ technology ensures lower running and maintenance costs, whilst the
powerful and intuitive swipe and pinch presentation controls, using the free Apple and Android apps,
make this the most intuitive way to teach.”
Inherently, colour fidelity created by LED+ technology is exceptional and, coupled with the proven single
chip DLP® Dark Chip 3 (DC3) design, leads to an increased perception of brightness over equivalent lamp-based technologies.
Amongst the many new features of these latest Optoma projectors is the built in support for wireless
presenting. Using a smart phone or tablet (iOS/Android supported) and the free downloadable Wifi Doc
App., to present directly from a smart device is as simple as opening a document or file into the Wifi Doc
app. Presentations using projectors become completely intuitive using all the benefits of touch screen
technology.
Optoma has included USB stick and SD card inputs for use with the built in media player software,
negating the need to first convert documents. Once copied onto a stick or card the projector does the
rest and is capable of producing up to a 60”/152cm diagonal image from just 68cm away. Built‐in 10w
speakers mean that external amplification is not usually necessary.
The ZW210ST and ZX210ST are ideal for classrooms and small boardrooms. Once installed, each
projector is easily managed. In addition to AMX® Dynamic Discovery, Optoma now offers Crestron
Roomview™ compatibility, a custom configurable interface to monitor, manage and control every device
in every room remotely via a network.
