Both projectors deliver a 0.27 - 0.29:1 throw ratio that produces a 2.03M (80”) diagonal
screen size image from only 0.47 - 0.49 metres (approx. 1.54 - 1.61 feet) away from the
screen creating a shadow-less image. They have been designed to be easy to operate and
to deliver a low total cost of ownership. They are the ideal choice for ultra close projection
applications in educational markets.

ECO Lamp Dimming
These projectors (if this function is
selected) can reduce power
consumption and brightness by 10-15%.
After a user pre-set time, the brightness
and power consumption will reduce to
30% power usage, with instant 100%
brightness returning as soon as a new
signal input is detected.
ECO Picture Mute - (Instant Off/Instant On)
The new ECO Picture Mute feature
reduces power consumption down to
30%, saving cost and lamp hours. This
feature can be used in the classroom as
instant off/instant on in-between class
changes. There is no need to power
completely off and turn back on, which
is time consuming.
