Optoma Launches Ultra Short Throw Laser Projectors – the 400UST series

Optoma has launched the 400UST DuraCore series, an ultra short throw (UST) laser projector series with 4,000 ANSI lumens, the highest in the UST marketplace. Available in Full HD 1080p and WXGA resolutions, this series is designed perfectly for education, corporate, and professional installations where UST projection is desired for a unique environmental requirement.

The 400UST series, unveiled at ISE earlier this year, includes four new UST laser projectors, including ZH400UST, ZW400UST, ZH400USTi, and ZW400USTi.

Equipped with Optoma DuraCore Technology and IP5X certification, the 400UST series is powered by a long-lasting, low maintenance, lamp-free, laser light source, delivering consistent, high brightness of up to 20,000 hours and superior color reproduction with vivid images.

Supporting 24/7 operation and versatile orientation, including portrait mode and downward projection, the 400UST series offers a flexible, powerful, and bright UST projector range. It is, therefore, ideal for signage solutions where space or accessibility can be limited, such as shop windows or retail displays.

Weighing only 5.6kg, the 400UST series projectors can be ceiling mounted just centimeters away from the wall or shop window, projecting an image size of over 100 inches (254cm).

The interactive models of 400UST series – ZH400USTi and ZW400USTi – are also built with ‘TouchBeam’ finger-touch interactive technology feature, transforming any surface into an interactive experience. The highly responsive ‘TouchBeam’ supports up to 10 multi-touch points for collaborative working.

With Office Viewer functionality built in, the 400UST series allows presentations to be made by merely plug-and-play without laptop or PC.

Gordon Wu, Assistant Vice President at Optoma APAC, commented: “The 400UST series models are the lightest and brightest UST laser projectors in their category.  With 0.25 UST throw ratio, 1080p/WXGA resolution, the compact chassis, and versatile installation, this series is definitely an exemplary projector for digital signage solutions.”
