Optoma AZU517ST – Short Throw Laser Projector with Golf Simulation Mode
The Optoma AZU517ST is a high-brightness short throw professional laser projector engineered for performance-driven environments where image clarity, reliability, and specialised visual modes are essential. Delivering 5,500 lumens of brightness with 4K and HDR compatibility, the AZU517ST produces sharp, vibrant visuals suitable for both professional AV applications and immersive simulation experiences.
From an AVCore Pune system integrator perspective, the AZU517ST stands out as a versatile solution that seamlessly bridges professional presentation requirements with dedicated indoor golf simulation performance.
High-Brightness Short Throw Projection
The AZU517ST combines a powerful 5,500-lumen output with a short throw lens, allowing large images to be projected from close distances while minimising shadows and obstructions. This makes it ideal for spaces where projector placement is restricted but brightness and image size remain critical.
Support for 4K UHD input signals and HDR content ensures enhanced contrast, improved depth, and accurate colour reproduction across a wide range of content types.
Dedicated Golf Simulation Mode
A key highlight of the Optoma AZU517ST is its dedicated Golf Sim. Mode, designed specifically for indoor golf simulators. This mode enhances the reproduction of greens and blues, delivering realistic textures of fairways, bunkers, water hazards, and course layouts.
The result is a highly immersive and accurate visual experience that supports better depth perception, shot planning, and overall gameplay realism — making the AZU517ST a strong choice for professional golf simulation studios and premium home golf setups.
Laser Light Source & 24/7 Operational Reliability
Built around Optoma’s advanced long-life laser technology, the AZU517ST delivers up to 30,000 hours of maintenance-free operation. Its IP6X dust-resistant certified optical engine enables reliable 24/7 operation, ensuring consistent performance in demanding professional environments.
The lamp-free design significantly reduces maintenance requirements and lowers total cost of ownership over the projector’s lifespan.
Flexible Installation with Lens Shift
The Optoma AZU517ST features manual horizontal and vertical lens shift, allowing precise image alignment without physically moving the projector. This installation flexibility is especially valuable for simulation rooms, classrooms, and immersive AV setups with fixed mounting constraints.
Combined with short throw optics, installers gain greater freedom when designing layouts for challenging spaces.
Professional Control & Powerful Built-In Audio
The AZU517ST includes LAN connectivity for monitoring and control, making it suitable for centrally managed AV systems and multi-room deployments.
For audio, the projector is equipped with dual built-in 15W speakers, delivering clear and impactful sound for classrooms, simulation rooms, and presentation environments where external speakers may not be required.
