Optoma DURACORE Made for Environmental Sustainability
Designed with environmental friendliness in mind, Optoma is dedicated to providing eco-friendly, cost-effective, and reliable products, that bring better experiences to people all around the world. With the future-proofed laser technology, our products are energy-saving, mercury-free, and more economical.
Mercury Free
High power consumption and mercury pollution in traditional lamp-based projectors are gradually replaced with more reliable, mercury-free, and eco-friendly lamp-free laser projectors.
Eco-friendly laser light source
With the latest laser technology and higher power conversion efficiency, the product saves up to 47% of power consumption compared with a lamp-based projector at similar capacity
Maintenance Free & Economical
Laser projectors are durable with up to 30,000 hrs. life span (eco) and 24/7 operation, which save cost on the lamp replacements, and has a long-term lifespan for any professional applications.
Dual HDMI inputs
With dual HDMI inputs, you can connect to different devices such as your set-top box, laptop, PC, Blu-ray player or media streamer easily by assigning them to different ports. There is no need for continuous plug or unplugging when switching devices, making presentation and display hassle-free. You can even turn it into a smart projector by connecting an HDMI dongle like Google Chromecast™, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV™ or Roku® stick.
Device Control by HDMI CEC Link
When you connect HDMI CEC-compatible devices to the projector with HDMI cables, you can control them on the same power on or power off status using the HDMI Link feature. This lets one device or multiple devices in a group power on/off simultaneously.
Integrated speaker
A powerful built-in speaker provides exceptional sound quality and an easy setup without the need for costly external speakers.
Full 3D
Optoma projectors can display true 3D content from almost any 3D source, including 3D compatible graphics cards, 3D broadcasting and the latest generation 3d media servers.
Optoma Management Suite™
A value-added solution, OMS provides IT administrators and technicians with an array of options to support daily operations, such as real-time monitoring of product performance so potential issues can be diagnosed and solved before they turn into failures. Additionally, users can broadcast or schedule alerts and messages across displays and remotely program and schedule device operating hours, reducing energy consumption and lowering operating costs.*
*OMS is an ever-evolving platform with features and functions being added over time.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
Projectors with the latest laser light source reduces 1265kg CO2e for 20,000 hours of usage, which can save about 1.8 acacia trees*.
*One acacia tree has 718kg carbon fixation ability. Therefore, saving 1265kg CO2e = saving 1.8 trees.
Compact and Reliable
Designed with simplicity in mind, Optoma dedicates to minimizing the product size and optimizing the component to be compact yet reliable enough for daily use.
Replace the thermal module with the heatsink. The latest phosphor wheel is optimized from 54mm to 47mm compared to the previous-gen. Remove the LVPS and replace it with an power adapter, which is easily to be repaired and replaced.
Designed with sustainability in mind - Optoma Green Badge
Optoma is a forerunner in green product design. Optoma’s SSI products take things a step further with sustainability incorporated into all aspects of a product, including design, production, packaging, and logistics.
Optoma Green Badge represents Optoma’s commitment to sustainability. Our primary ways of lowering the environmental impact of our products are centered on four areas.
The use of environmentally friendly materials generate less waste
The use of environmentally friendly materials for products and during production.
According to UK Plastics Pack 2022, it takes 75% less energy to make a plastic bottle from recycled plastic than virgin materials. Our product design team works closely with suppliers to identify environmentally friendly recycled materials that minimize waste that would otherwise go into landfills and reduce the use of virgin plastics. Optoma is committed to producing SSI-based projectors that are made with 50 % post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics.
Moreover, Optoma complies with WEEE, RoHS, and REACH regulations that restrict the use of hazardous substances during production, which helps protect landfills from permanent contamination.
Sustainable Packaging
Optimized packaging made with more recycled and reusable materials
Optoma brings sustainability to the consumer unboxing experience. Our choice of materials ensures that our packaging can be easily recycled and reused to start another packaging journey.
Our outer carton boxes are made from up to 85% recycled material, and we have replaced EPE foam cushioning with recycled paper and paper mold materials without compromising the durability of the packaging!
Four corner correction
Adjust the keystone in both the vertical and horizontal plane. You can individually warp each corner of the image to create a perfectly square image. Ideal for uneven walls or where projector placement is awkward and needs to be installed at an angle.
360 projection*
Images can be projected over a 360° range* along the projector’s horizontal axis.
*For more information please refer to the user manual
Portrait projection
Ideal for digital signage applications you can rotate your projector 90 degrees to project a portrait image.
1.3x Zoom Range
A large zoom range enables multiple placement possibilities at a variety of distances from the projection screen.
An advantage to this is that expensive interchangeable lens projectors can be substituted with a more cost effective solution whilst still retaining a diverse choice of positioning options.
IP6X Airtight optical engine
Independently tested and certified to IEC standard 60529 with an IP6X dust resistance rating. Outstanding dust resistance combined with exceptional brightness ensures industry leading durability; paramount for 24/7 maintenance free operation in challenging environments.
Quick start-up and shutdown
This projector features quick start-up and shutdown and reaches full brightness quickly. To maximise energy saving it also includes a ‘pause projection’ feature where the light source can be completely shut off. Unlike conventional lamp based projectors, the laser- light source requires minimal cool-down time.
