3D Technology
Using the inherent speed of DLP® technology, Optoma Full 3D projectors can output video and images at an astonishing rate of 120Hz, allowing you to show full screen, full colour, stereoscopic 3D. The 3D effect is generated by splitting this signal into two standard video streams, one for each eye. Using DLP® Link™ technology, the 3D glasses synchronise with the image on screen to filter each stream to the correct eye. Your brain then combines the two streams to make them jump into life.
The W501 supports multiple 3D formats from various devices such as PC, Blu-ray 3D™, Sony® PS3, Microsoft® Xbox 360 or 3D TV broadcast systems. |
 |
Image quality
A HD projector with 1280x800 pixels has more than twice the resolution of an HD-Ready display. Fully compatible with HDTV broadcasts and high definition media, the W501 is able to display un-scaled WXGA signals in their original form for use where exceptional clarity and detail are essential.
Extensive connectivity
This HD projector accepts a wide variety of computer and video input signals. Connectivity includes: HDMI, DVI-D, dual VGA (Component via adaptor), S-Video, Composite, USB Reader, VGA-Out, RS232, RJ45 and +12V trigger. In addition the optional Wi-Fi accessory can be securely connected to a dedicated hidden USB port.
Five audio inputs for HDMI, PC, video and microphone sources enable the W501 to function not only as an audio switcher and volume controller, but also as a basic PA system for larger meeting rooms; thereby eliminating complicated and costly additional audio hardware and cabling.
Easy installation - 1.5x zoom and lens shift
The W501 can project a 100” diagonal image from any distance between 3.03m and 4.54m. The Lens Shift system can be used to adjust the vertical position of the projected image within the range detailed in the diagrams below.
When replacing existing projectors, the 1.5x zoom and Lens Shift systems greatly increase your installation flexibility. |
 |
 |
DICOM simulation mode
Designed specifically for larger meeting rooms and lecture theatres, the W501 includes a special DICOMsim mode that has been specially tuned for viewing greyscale images, perfect for viewing X-rays and scans during medical training.*
*The W501 is not suitable for use in medical diagnosis. |
Clear, focused Images
DarkChip3™ from Texas Instruments, combined with Eco+ dynamic lamp technology produce a stunning 15,000:1 contrast ratio for pin sharp graphics and crystal clear text. Crisper whites, ultra-rich blacks makes images come alive and text easier to read - ideal for business and education presentations. |
 |
Amazing colours
The W501 incorporates BrilliantColor™ technology to produce stunningly bright images with perfectly balanced, life-like colours.
System integration and control
Using the free Crestron Roomview software, multiple W501 can be monitored over LAN and also provide the user with an email message alert in case an error occurs or a lamp fails. Cut up to 30% from your energy bills using 24-hour automated power scheduling to ensure that projectors power off when not in use.
The web browser interface and full support for Extron’s IP Link, AMX dynamic device discovery and PJ-Link protocols, allow almost all aspects of the W501 to be controlled across a network, reducing installation costs and keeping you in control, wherever you are. While RS-232 connectivity ensures legacy support for existing control systems.
Easy lamp replacement
In applications requiring smooth continuous operation, minimising service time is essential. The W501 lamp can quickly be replaced without the need to remove the projector from where it is installed. |
 |
 |
+12v Trigger
Power on both your projector and screen at the touch of a single button. For ultimate convenience, connect an Optoma electric screen directly to your W501. |
