Optoma ZU500USTe – Ultra Short Throw WUXGA Laser Projector
The Optoma ZU500USTe is a compact, high-brightness ultra short throw laser projector designed for installations where space is extremely limited but visual impact remains essential. Delivering sharp WUXGA resolution with a long-life DuraCore laser light source, the ZU500USTe provides reliable, low-maintenance projection for professional AV applications.
From an AVCore Pune system integrator perspective, the ZU500USTe is a purpose-built solution for signage, retail displays, education, and public spaces where conventional projection distances are not possible. Its ultra short throw design allows it to be mounted just centimetres from the projection surface, eliminating shadows and simplifying installation.
Ultra Short Throw Projection for Space-Constrained Environments
The ZU500USTe’s ultra short throw optics enable large, bright images to be projected from extremely close distances. This makes it ideal for locations such as shop windows, kiosks, corridors, and interactive signage where space or accessibility is restricted.
By minimising projection distance, the projector also reduces the risk of obstruction and shadowing, ensuring clear and consistent visuals in high-traffic areas.
DuraCore Laser Performance & Low Maintenance
Powered by Optoma’s DuraCore laser technology, the ZU500USTe offers up to 30,000 hours of operation with stable brightness and colour performance. Its lamp-less and filter-free design significantly lowers maintenance requirements and running costs, making it an excellent long-term investment for commercial installations.
This low-maintenance architecture makes the ZU500USTe especially suitable for locations where regular servicing is difficult or costly.
Compact, Lightweight & Flexible Installation
Weighing just 5.7 kg, the Optoma ZU500USTe is remarkably lightweight for a professional laser projector. Its compact form factor allows for easy wall mounting, ceiling installation, or discreet placement in tight spaces.
The projector supports 24/7 operation and versatile orientation, enabling it to be used in portrait, landscape, or unconventional mounting positions — a key requirement for digital signage and creative display applications.
Designed for Signage & Commercial Displays
The ZU500USTe is particularly well suited for:
- Retail window displays and storefront signage
- Digital signage in malls, airports, and public spaces
- Education and training rooms with limited space
- Corporate branding and information displays
- Interactive and immersive AV installations
Its combination of ultra short throw projection, laser reliability, and compact design makes it a highly versatile solution for modern commercial AV deployments.
Professional Connectivity & Control
Designed to integrate seamlessly into professional AV systems, the ZU500USTe supports network-based monitoring and control, making it suitable for managed installations and multi-site deployments.
This ensures smooth operation and easy integration into existing AV infrastructure.
