SLM R8
For Mid-size Theater Presentations
Compact, yet exceptionally powerful, the SLM R8 projector is
ideally suited for professional standard theater presentations
on screens of up to 10m (33ft) wide. Ideal for digital
advertising in the auditorium, business presentations and for
HD movie screenings.
Featuring the proven reliability of the highest resolution Texas
Instruments 3-chip DLP™ technology, the SLM R8 combines a
powerful 8000 ANSI lumens light output with a range of
features that set new standards in reliability, ease of operation,
operating flexibility and low cost maintenance.
Superb performance, every time
A unique combination of an advanced high contrast MovieMode for added depth and film-like image quality combined
with a modular construction for a quick lamp change ensures
both superb presentation quality… and that the show always
goes on.
Professional Presentation Flexibilty
While a wide range of analog and digital inputs ensure
compatibility with all existing and known future STV and HDTV
standards, “click-and-play” lenses ensure that the projector can
be set for any presentation in just seconds to ensure a quick set
up and professional presentation quality every time.
