Upgraded Screen Adjustment with New GUI
The VMZ7ST Series introduces an upgraded Screen Adjustment suite with an intuitive new Graphical User Interface (GUI). Designed to simplify setup in various spaces—including curved screens—the GUI streamlines adjustments via remote control without the need for a connected PC, making installation faster, easier, and more flexible than ever.
Precise Line Adjustment via Grid Function
Grid function enables correction of minor distortion by adjusting horizontal or vertical lines on a fixed 11 x 17 grid. Correction is easily performed via remote control.
Note: Remote control pictured is for illustrative purposes only.
Enhanced Curved Screen Correction
Curved Correction now allows each side of the image to be adjusted independently—unlike previous models, where opposite sides moved in tandem. This added flexibility supports more accurate correction on curved surfaces, ideal for sports simulators, museum exhibits, and corporate displays.
6-Point Screen Adjustment System for Corner Projection
For corner-based or column projections, the 6-Point Screen Adjustment system enables fine-tuned control over image geometry. It’s ideal for maximizing screen use in compact meeting spaces or creating striking visual installations in galleries and showrooms.
Independent 4-Corner Adjustment
Correct trapezoidal distortion from off-center or angled projector placement. 4-Corner Adjustment lets users independently control each image corner via remote control. Settings can be saved and reapplied, streamlining setup across multiple rooms or sessions.
Maintain Aspect Ratio for Natural Scaling
Maintain Aspect Ratio preserves the image’s proportions during adjustment, preventing warping or stretching. It ensures content looks natural while still allowing for edge-to-edge alignment, providing a clean, professional finish in any space.
Single-Cable 4K DIGITAL LINK Solution
4K DIGITAL LINK is a connection based on HDBaseT™ that supports long-distance video, audio, and control-signal transmission via a single CAT 5e LAN cable, reducing installation complexity in schools, offices, and entertainment spaces.
Note: 4K input signals are converted to the projector’s resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels) upon projection. YPBPR 4:2:0 format only for 4K/30p input via DIGITAL LINK.Accepts 4K Signals via HDMI™ and DIGITAL LINK
The VMZ7ST Series accepts 4K1 video signals via DIGITAL LINK and HDMI™ terminals, simplifying projector integration into your existing infrastructure. This capability enables 4K1 signal transmission to display endpoints with varying screen resolutions, eliminating the need for external converters or content re-encoding.

Daylight View Basic uses a sensor to measure ambient light levels in your space and adjusts sharpness, halftone color, contrast, and brightness to optimize image visibility regardless of room illumination. The result is a clearer, more detailed image, even in challenging conditions.
Smooth, Crisp Details at WUXGA
WUXGA (1920 x 1200) LCD panels improve detail definition for a more comfortable and insightful experience. Text edges are smooth, sharp, and easy to read, even for those seated furthest from the screen.
Vivid Green Mode for Lifelike Sports Simulation
The VMZ7ST Series introduces a new Vivid Green Mode that enhances green tones for brighter, more natural-looking images—ideal for golf and other sports simulations. By adjusting signal gain and optimizing color balance, this mode delivers deeper greens and brighter midtones for a more vivid and engaging viewing experience.
Quiet Operation for Hybrid Lessons and Meetings
The projector’s heat-resistant light source reduces operating noise, enhancing the clarity of conversations during in-person or hybrid lessons and meetings. In Quiet 2 Mode, operating noise is as low as 25 dB1—about as soft as the sound of rustling leaves.

Features Eco-Friendly Recycled Materials
The VMZ7ST Series is designed with sustainability in mind. The plastic used in the projector’s main body contains approximately 56%1 recycled resin to reduce reliance on virgin plastics. Recyclable cardboard insulation replaces foam in the shipping carton, and unnecessary packaging has been eliminated to cut waste. These efforts support eco-conscious manufacturing and help your organization reduce its footprint throughout the projector’s lifecycle.

The VMZ7ST Series offers more than consistent, long-lasting picture quality. Its laser light source also operates for about 20,000 hours1 without maintenance, outperforming lamp projectors that may require several lamp replacements over the same period. This reduces operating costs and eliminates mercury lamp disposal.
1 Around this time, the light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level ([PICTURE MODE]: [DYNAMIC], [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] set to [2], temperature 30 °C (86 °F), elevation 700 m (2,297 ft) with 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter). The estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depending on the environment.Note: Lamp replacement cycle is approximate and varies by model and other factors.
