Optoma launches the WU1500-- a flagship installation projector featuring twin lamps and a lineup of 6 lens options designed for 24/7 use in larger venues, with brightness reaching 12000 lumens.
One can either use the two lamps simultaneously for maximum brightness or go for a "lamp relay" function to switch between lamps, effectively doubling the interval between lamp replacement is required. In case of lamp failure the projector continues to operate on the remaining lamp.
The 6 optional lenses feature LD (low dispersion) glass to enhance brightness and reduce colour flare and chromatic aberrations, even over long throw distances. All lamp options offer motorised zoom and focus, including the shortest lamp, one Optoma says is suitable for rear projection.
