Description
Optoma ZK1320 – 13,500 Lumen 4K UHD+ Laser Projector
The Optoma ZK1320 is a next-generation, high-brightness 4K UHD+ laser projector built for demanding ProAV installations and large venue situations. Designed to deliver exceptionally bright, detailed imagery with long-life performance and flexible installation options, the ZK1320 raises the bar in projector performance for auditoriums, exhibition halls, conference centres, and premium commercial installations.
With an impressive 13,500 lumens of output and a robust laser light engine, the ZK1320 handles high ambient lighting environments with ease, while maintaining crisp detail and vibrant colour fidelity. From an AVCore Pune integrator’s perspective, this projector is ideal when both image impact and reliability are critical — from large corporate boardrooms to live event stages, museums, and rental-installation scenarios.
Industry-Leading Visual Quality
The ZK1320 features true 4K UHD+ resolution in a WQUXGA pixel format (3840 × 2400), offering significantly higher vertical resolution than standard 4K projectors. This means sharper text, greater detail, and more accurate reproduction of intricate visuals — essential for data-rich presentations, simulation graphics, architectural content and cinematic projection.
Optoma’s use of advanced DLP imaging and professional colour processing ensures excellent contrast and colour precision. Integrators consistently highlight the projector’s ability to preserve fine texture and reduce visual artefacts even when projecting onto large screens or seamless blends in multi-projector setups.
Superior Laser Performance for High-Demand Environments
At the core of the ZK1320 is Optoma’s DuraCore laser light source, engineered for long operational life and consistent output stability. Unlike traditional lamp-based projectors that require frequent lamp replacements and ongoing maintenance, the ZK1320’s laser engine delivers up to 30,000 hours of reliable performance with minimal upkeep. This long life span dramatically lowers lifetime operating costs and suits 24/7 applications such as digital signage, command centres and continuous-use venues.
The high lumen output ensures that images remain bright and impactful even in spaces with moderate ambient light, making the ZK1320 suitable for multipurpose halls, brighter corporate environments, and dynamic event spaces.
Compact, Flexible Installation Design
Despite its astonishing brightness class, the ZK1320 is engineered with a compact and lightweight chassis — making it considerably more installer-friendly than many competitive projectors in its lumen category. This simplicity in form factor helps reduce installation, rigging, and servicing complexity for AV professionals.
The projector supports a full range of interchangeable lenses (sold separately), so you can choose the optimal optics for the desired throw distance and audience sightlines. Lens flexibility is a hallmark of professional installations, allowing precise matching to screen size and venue geometry without compromising mounting location or projector position.
Advanced Control, Networking & AV Integration
Professional environments often require reliable remote management and seamless integration with wider AV control systems. The ZK1320 delivers on this front with support for:
- ArtNet – Synchronise projection cues with professional lighting and stage systems.
- Optoma Management Suite (OMS) – Remote device monitoring, scheduling, and diagnostics across multiple projectors.
- Standard control protocols including PJLink, Crestron, AMX, Extron and LAN/RS232 for centralized automation.
Large corporate campuses, performance spaces, and multi-venue installations benefit from these management tools by reducing service overhead and increasing uptime.
Recommended Use Cases – AVCore Pune Perspective
