ZU850 - ultimate colour performance
The main display features Optoma’s new flagship ProScene model, the ZU850. This WUXGA dual-colour laser installation projector featuring MCL technology (Multi Colour Laser) forms part of the DuraCore range which combines longer-lifetime light source and an independent IP rated dust certification.
Four ZU850 8,000 lumen projectors are dual stacked each producing an impressive 16,000 lumens, with content mapped onto irregular shapes and surfaces for a visually striking display.
Innovation zone
Optoma’s new professional 4K UHD projector - the 4K500 – uses a single-chip DLP design to avoid alignment issues and give extreme precision with no ghosting.
The DLP 4K UHD solution delivers more than 8 million pixels to the screen with 4 million mirrors. Each mirror is capable of switching over 9,000 times per second, creating two distinct and unique pixels on the screen during every frame to deliver full 4K UHD resolution.
The Innovation zone features a floor to ceiling high resolution edge-blended projection. This uses four 5,500 lumen ZU510T ProScene projectors installed at various orientations and two Optoma Chameleon GB-200 blend and warp processors.
A fully integrated and accessible plug-and-play mobile interactive projection system - The Magic Carpet from Sensory Guru is on display. This uses the Optoma X320UST ultra short throw projector which can project a 100 inch image from just 55cm from the floor. The unit is small and light enough for users to be able to move it around with ease and take up minimal storage space
A next-generation digital signage solution from Tensator also features on the stand. This new virtual assistant uses cutting-edge ambient light rejecting (ALR) technology along with an Optoma ultra short throw projector built-into the unit to project an image and create the illusion of a real person, acting as an interactive informational and instructional tool.
Retail zone
The retail zone showcases the new high definition 4,000-lumen ultra short throw laser projector - ZH400UST. Four ZH400UST projectors are edge blended to create two large displays.
Visitors can see a unique Point-of-Sale (POS) earphone display that will enhance the consumer’s purchasing experience in the retail sector. This innovative display features products from the highly acclaimed NuForce range.
Dynamic Projection Institute’s Mirror Head is demonstrated with Optoma’s ZU510T compact laser projector in an engaging floor projection with moving images and video across different surfaces.
Another highlight is a next-generation in-store display for UGG by Projection Artworks. Powered by Optoma’s LED ML750ST projectors, this display brings digital to the physical, by applying animated content onto and around the product to generate in-store engagement.
Mapping zone
Two demonstrations of Optoma’s mapping solutions are shown in this zone – from web-based professional mapping to mobile mapping from a smart device. Visitors are invited to try out the intuitive interface of Optoma’s Projection Mapper app tool.
