The ultimate installation projector
The Optoma ProScene WU1500 is a fully-featured installation projector, built
for demanding professional applications where image quality, performance
and reliability are paramount. Native WUXGA resolution, 12,000 lumens
brightness and 5000:1 contrast deliver vivid, crystal-clear images, while
dual lamps with lamp relay and 24/7 operation provide ultimate reliability,
ensuring that this is a projector in which you can have complete confidence.
The dust-sealed, filter-free design prevents dust and dirt from affecting the
optical system, ensuring optimal image quality with minimal maintenance
requirements. Motorised lens shift, zoom and focus combined with 360°
operation and interchangeable colour wheels provide total flexibility for
simple, trouble-free installation. A choice of six premium-quality lenses,
from wide focus through to extra-long zoom means that the WU1500 can
be adapted to cover almost any projection distance.
An array of advanced connectivity options are provided as standard,
including HDMI, DVI-D, 5 BNC, HDBaseT and SDI. Every aspect of the
WU1500 has been carefully designed and built to suit the requirements
of the professional installer – from the dependable lens mounting system,
through to the backlit remote control keypad and operation panel.
The Optoma ProScene WU1500 represents the ultimate in professional
image projection.
Ultimate performance and reliability
The WU1500 features dual lamps, which can be operated together to yield
maximum brightness. Alternatively, each lamp can be activated individually in
Relay Mode. The latter effectively combines the lifespan of both lamps together,
maximising the intervals between lamp changes.
Unparalleled installation flexibility
Motorised lens shift, zoom and focus combine with six lens options to provide the
ultimate in flexible installation. The projector can be mounted at any angle along its
horizontal axis, and can also operate in portrait mode, opening up a whole range
of installation possibilities.
Comprehensive connectivity
Built to surpass the expectations of even the most demanding AV professional,
the WU1500 features a range of built-in connectivity options. HDMI, DVI-D, 5 BNC,
HDBaseT and 3G-SDI are all included as standard. Control can be delivered via
network or serial port, while the WU1500 supports Crestron, Extron, AMX and PJLink protocols. The remote handset also supports wired connection, where line-ofsight operation is not possible.

Dual lamps with lamp relay
For challenging installations where the WU1500 is run for long
periods, the Lamp Relay function can be used to automatically
switch between projection lamps. Alternatively, both lamps
can be used together to achieve maximum brightness.
Installation flexibility
Motorised lens shift, six lens options, 360˚ operation and
portrait mode make the WU1500 truly adaptable to any
installation scenario.
Ultra-bright detailed images
The WU1500 has native WUXGA resolution
(1920 x 1200 pixels), together with 12,000 lumens and
5000:1 contrast for vivid images.
Extensive connectivity
HDMI, DVI, 5 BNC and 3G-SDI terminals enable connection
to a wide range of high resolution digital and analogue
sources.
Exemplary service
ProScene products benefit from a huge network of service
centres across Europe, backed up by a range of extensive
warranty and service packages.
HDBaseT allows transmission of high-definition video,
audio and control signals over a single CAT6 cable, vastly
simplifying installation.

ReliabilityImage quality
Superb image quality is at the heart of every ProScene product. At every step, commencing with the incredibly reliable,
®
high resolution WUXGA DLP
chip, where the image is initially created via the dual Philips UHP projection lamps, through
to the precision optics which focus the image on the screen, accuracy and integrity of the image are paramount.
All Optoma ProScene projectors use DLP
®
nature of DLP
micro-mirror technology provides highly efficient, bright images with great contrast whilst maintaining
®
technology for its image quality and unmatched reliability. The reflective
precise colour accuracy and natural, real-world colour reproduction. For demanding professional applications, the proven
®
reliability of DLP
technology makes it the obvious choice.
Better than Full HD resolution
When detail really matters, WUXGA
resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels) offers
15% more image area than 1080p
and 60% more than SXGA+. This
enables unscaled Full HD video and
extra detail. Time code information
can be displayed on-screen at the
same time, perfect for soundtrack
recording and video editing editing
where precise timing can be critical.

The Optoma ProScene WU1500 is designed for continuous 24/7 operation. Only the most
reliable, industry proven components are used to ensure superior reliability. This hard-earned
“capability” has been meticulously developed over a decade of designing and supporting
millions of projectors the world over. The dust-sealed, filter-free design prevents dust and dirt
from affecting the system – ensuring optimal image quality with minimal maintenance. ProScene
customers can therefore be confident that, as one of the most reliable projector brands in the
industry today, Optoma has a reputation for service excellence that is well deserved.
Lamp switching
Dual lamps enable a level of reliability simply unavailable with a
single-lamp projector. Both lamps can be used together to achieve
maximum brightness, whilst still providing redundancy should one
of them fail. Alternatively, a single lamp can be used in Relay Mode
to deliver the full lifetime of each individual lamp, hence minimising
service intervals.

DLP® technology
DLP® technology from Texas Instruments® is widely recognised
and acclaimed for its unmatched reliability and long lasting image
performance. When combined with high brightness and native
contrast ratios, it becomes the obvious choice for demanding
applications. Independent testing has proven DLP® to be the most
reliable of projector technologies. Whilst other technologies may
show image quality decline after only a few thousand hours, DLP®
technology can remain unchanged over hundreds of thousands of
hours.
Lamps
The dual Philips 465W UHP lamps provide the highest possible
luminance, the essential prerequisite of all high-performance
projectors. These lamps stay brighter for longer, provide a long
service life and a reduced loss of luminous flux throughout that life.
In addition, the lamp drivers are specifically tuned for the lamps,
ensuring optimum operating conditions and greater stability for any
situation.
Lamp pulsing technology
Advanced lamp-pulsing technologies enable colour performance
to be fine-tuned directly from the lamp. This unprecedented control
helps to create vibrant, perfectly saturated colours across the
whole light spectrum. The result is stunningly accurate, naturallooking images.

Precision optics
High quality glass optical elements maintain optimum sharpness
and focus uniformity over the entire image. The ProScene
insistence on uncompromising optical quality ensures extremely
low colour flare and chromatic aberration resulting in crystal clear,
high contrast images.
Select from a range of six premium-quality lenses, including short
throw, wide zoom and long throw options. All have motorised shift,
zoom and focus mechanisms, for easy and accurate adjustment
after initial installation.
Total cost of ownership
For demanding applications, the total cost of ownership of
a projector is not just in the purchase price, but also in expensive
maintenance and service. ProScene projectors require very
little maintenance, have no user serviceable parts inside and no
filters that require periodic replacement. The result is low cost,
predictable service cycles, enabling planned down time to be
minimised.
We are so confident that the WU1500 image colour quality
will remain as good as the day you bought it that Optoma will
guarantee it for five years.
