WHEREAS 2016: the first 4K HLD projector in action at the Optoma stand

The firm carries out projection demonstrations at the event to show how its developments reach a quality that flat screens do not achieve., according to those responsible, with its first 4K systems with HDL (high lumen density) in action.

The space of Optoma at Amsterdam RAI (hall 1 – stand M80) is a continuous live demo to show all visitors how their new 4K projectors with HLD (high lumen density), which are presented for the first time in Europe, They offer image and color quality, luminosity and brightness “where flat screens cannot reach”, they claim.

Optoma has organized in WHEREAS 2016 these demonstrations in five different areas, depending on application technology, like 4K; HLD; corporate and education; ProScene and Home solutions.

To experience color accuracy and Ultra High Resolution in detail (UHD – 4K) on screen, the company makes a demo of an F1 racing simulator with blending in projection (see attached video) so that visitors have a different experience, with prizes every day for the three best drivers as a final attraction. Combining an ultra-realistic environment with a curved screen created by three ML750e LED projectors, the simulation reaches another level..

Another demo is the dynamic mapping tracking solution, in which the Mirror Head system is used (del instituto Dynamic Projection), a world's first mirror head solution that uses the new ProScene ZU650 laser projector to create a projection for retail applications.

Three heads with high-tech mirrors, each combined with a ZU650 projector, displays dynamic solutions of video and moving images across different surfaces and then stitched together to create a complete, seamless panoramic image.

In the area of collaborative solutions for the business and educational market, The experience is delivered with the latest lamp-less projectors and super-wide UST solutions from Optoma. The digital signage area has a demo, with a very flexible installation, Vivid colors and long-lasting brightness with laser projectors.

Already in the home entertainment environment, demos revolve around Optoma's Full HD projectors to provide high visual quality with lights on, to which is added the NuForce sound range, including the new DSD DAC and uDAC5 headphone amplifier. The award-winning BE6 premium Bluetooth is also displayed on the stand, a wireless model that offers audio enthusiasts a wire-free headphone experience with optimal sound quality.

Just Carlton, CEO of Optoma EMEA, underlines that the company “always strives to adopt new technologies and participate in customized installations and projects. ProScene solutions, designed for the professional AV market and the new 4K and HLD products are the best example”.

4K HLD display with precision color

In collaboration with Texas Instruments and Phillips, the company shows its first 4K Led projector with HLD (The first Led HLD 1080p system was presented at InfoComm in June 2015) “and we are delighted to once again be the first in the industry to show the progression from 1,080p HLD to 4K”, says Carlton.

For the head of the Visual system solutions division, Justin Halls, “HLD technology will allow a new generation of brighter DLP Led projectors with a quality in contrast and color never seen in the industry”.

In this line of innovation, Visitors to the Optoma stand can see its 4K UHD DLP projector in operation, which, unlike other technologies, Single-chip DLP design avoids alignment issues for extreme precision without ghosting (ghosting).

Optoma DLP 4K UHD offers more than eight million pixels on the screen with four million mirrors, each capable of switching more than 9.000 times per second, creating two distinct and unique pixels on the screen during each frame to deliver maximum 4K UHD resolution.

ProScene Solutions Zone

In this area, the stand has ultra-bright stacking of 24.000 lumens used by the company's new flagship projector: the ProScene WU1500 model, a dual lamp system installed in a stack of 2x WU1500 and the GB200 image processor, to offer extraordinary sharpness thanks to its resolution of 12,920×1.200p

The company has the collaboration of BRD Simulation Racing Technology, el instituto Dynamic Projection y Projection Artworks, who have joined Optoma during the event to demonstrate the connectivity and creativity capabilities of their projectors.

“We have invited these companies to join us, since they are leaders in their fields. This means we can offer the most innovative and exciting projection solutions on display at our stand at ISE 2016.”, Halls points out..

Display solutions for retail, education and corporate

British digital signage specialist Projection Artworks collaborates on the Optoma stand with its daylight-visible windows and interactive product showcases.

With LED and DLP laser technology from Optoma, These display solutions show animated applications around or on products to capture consumer interest in different types of products in shopping centers.

In the education and corporate environment there is the latest innovation from Optoma in laser projectors of the ultra-short lens range, model ZH300UW, with an ultra-wide aspect ratio for multiple users to interact simultaneously on the screen, which also offers the possibility of creating two screens 4:3 independent.

With a laser light engine instead of a traditional lamp, The ZH300UW projector produces a brightness of 3.000 lumens, with an estimated durability of 20.000 hours.

Also in this area is the Optoma EH320UST ultra short throw 1,080p interactive projector, which uses a new generation of interactive touch technology, allowing multiple people to interact on the screen at once without using a stylus. Its mounting system allows for quick and easy installation with virtually no maintenance or calibration.
