Optoma ZU820TST – WUXGA Ultra Bright Short Throw DuraCore Laser Projector
The Optoma ZU820TST is a professional-grade WUXGA short throw installation laser projector delivering 8,200 lumens of brightness with a 3,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The short throw "ST" lens makes it ideal for space-constrained environments where a standard throw projector cannot be used. Featuring a dust-resistant IP5X certified optical engine, it is engineered for 24/7 continuous operation and up to 30,000 hours of maintenance-free performance in Eco mode — with no lamps to replace.
With motorised zoom, motorised focus, and full motorised lens shift, the ZU820TST offers exceptional installation flexibility. High brightness, colour precision, and quiet operation make it the ideal solution for simulation, edge-blending, projection mapping, and large-venue immersive installations.
HDBaseT, LAN, and RS232 connectivity provide comprehensive control and signal distribution, making the ZU820TST a true install-and-forget professional solution.
