ZH300UW

The Optoma ZH300UW is an ultra-wide short throw projector with a unique feature set, making it perfect for retail, corporate and education installations. The bright 3000 lumen solid-state light source uses laser-phosphor technology to replace the traditional projector lamp. A new generation of TouchBeam interactive technology enables several people to work simultaneously on the screen without using a pen, while the ultra-short throw (UST) projection lens generates a large 120” image from a throw distance of just 72cm.

The ZH300UW provides a complete package with many new features, including two HDMI inputs, powered USB port, 10W speaker, 20,000 hour light source lifetime, and a compact chassis with a new mounting system for fast and simple setup.

Example applications

The unique combination of features offered by the ZH300UW makes it suitable for a variety of special applications. No other projector delivers the unique blend of high resolution, ultra-wide 16:6 aspect ratio, ultra-short throw lens and solid state laser-phosphor light source, all backed up by Optoma’s unsurpassed service offering.

Some examples of applications that can be achieved using this projector are illustrated below.

Museums, exhibitions and visitor centres

Interactive exhibits are a guaranteed way to capture interest at visitor centres. With stunning visuals now a frequent requirement for these types of installation, the ZH300UW’s high resolution makes it perfect for the task. With its ability to perform rear and downward projection, and also to operate in ‘portrait’ mode, the ZH300UW is perfect for large, touch-sensitive displays, offering a fully interactive experience to visitors.

Classrooms

Ideal for classrooms, the ultra-short throw lens enables teachers to stand close to the screen without being dazzled by the projector. The interactive ‘TouchBeam’ technology allows up to 10 pupils to participate, using only a ﬁnger. The laser-phosphor engine avoids the need for replacement projector lamps, which keeps running costs low - ideal for schools, where budgets are often limited.

Control rooms

High resolution and high contrast make the ZH300UW particularly suitable for installation in control rooms, where ﬁne lines and small text must be clearly visible. In addition, the long lifespan of the laser-phosphor light source and DLP panel makes the projector capable of 24/7 operation, and therefore especially suited to ‘always on’ environments.

Retail displays and digital signage

The ultra-wide display with its 16:6 aspect ratio enables the creation of unique displays, perfect for retail environments. The 3000 lumens deliver plenty of brightness - enough for striking, vibrant images, even in high levels of ambient light. Large images with a diagonal measurement of 140” can be generated from a throw distance of just 84cm. The ZH300UW is also capable of operating in portrait mode, facilitating the production of unique ‘tall-aspect’ digital signage displays.

Video conferencing

The ultra-wide 16:6 aspect ratio of the ZH300UW perfectly accommodates two 4:3 images in a ‘side-by-side’ format. This is ideal for videoconferencing, where the local and remote images are typically displayed alongside each other. Each image then has a resolution of 960 x 720 pixels, delivering all the required detail via a single projected display.

Simulators

As industrial-grade simulators for aircraft, track cars and commercial vehicles become increasingly realistic, so the demand for widescreen, ultrahigh resolution projection increases. Simulators can now be implemented using fewer projectors, reducing overall complexity in terms of hardware. Thanks to the native 1920 x 720 resolution, even complex, ultra-wide computer-generated images can be displayed with remarkable clarity.

Engineering and design

CAD environments, architecture and 3D modelling all require projected images with absolute clarity and accuracy. The projector is fully 3D compatible, and can be used in conjunction with active shutter glasses to generate convincing 3D visuals.

For more than ten years, Optoma has been at the forefront of the projector design and manufacture - one of the very few

companies that focuses exclusively on projectors.

Today, the Optoma ProScene range represents the evolution of projection expertise, honed and reﬁned by manufacturing

and supporting millions of projectors the world over. This knowledge and skill has been distilled into the ProScene range

of products and support services, which are designed speciﬁcally for demanding professional applications.
