Effortless presenting

Enjoy hassle-free presenting using the USB Reader to project a JPEG presentation directly from a USB flash drive.

Alternatively view up to 4 PC/Laptops side-by-side at the same time, using the free Optoma Presenter software…

…or even broadcast your presentation (up to WXGA resolution) across a wired/wireless network to as many as 8 projectors simultaneously.

Wireless support requires the optional Optoma mini-WiFi dongle accessory, available separately.

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 EH501 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 Full HD projector with 1920×1080 pixels has more than twice the resolution of an HD-Ready display. Fully compatible with HDTV broadcasts and high definition media, the EH501 is able to display un-scaled 1080p signals in their original form for use where exceptional clarity and detail are essential.

Extensive connectivity

This Full 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 EH501 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 EH501 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 EH501 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 EH501 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 EH501 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 EH501 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 EH501 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.

Global monitoring of all AV devices

Track projector lamp life

Email alerts and instant notifications help desk requests, service reminders, device failure or theft

Event Scheduling

Easy lamp replacement

In applications requiring smooth continuous operation, minimising service time is essential. The EH501 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 EH501.For more info on Optoma screens, please visit www.optomaeurope.com

Easy to use remote with laser pointer, mouse control and direct source selection

 

Green solutions

ECO⁺ technology from Optoma increases our commitment to reducing the impact we all make on the environment

Eco⁺ mode

Saving energy, saves money! Eco⁺ technology reduces the power consumption to as little as 30%. This intelligent feature also has a positive effect on the lamp life, increasing it up to 70% while lowering the total cost of ownership and reducing maintenance*.

Auto power off

There may be instances when the projector is left running when not in use. To help save energy if the projector is left running and no source is detected, the “Auto Power Off” feature automatically turns off the projector after a set period of time.

ECO AV mute

Stay in control of your presentation with the Eco AV mute feature. Direct your audience’s attention away from the screen by blanking the image when no longer needed. This also instantly reduces the power consumption to 30%, further prolonging the life of your lamp.

Environmentally friendly

To achieve the maximum 6500hrs² lamp life, the projector should be operating in Eco+ mode and the auto power off feature should be enabled to automatically switch off the projector if it is accidentally left on. Enabling the <0.5W standby mode ensures the minimum energy consumption when the projector is not switched on.

We know that improving our products is the best way to reduce our impact on the environment. That’s why at Optoma, we design our products to have a long usable life, use fewer materials, ship with the minimum packaging and be free of all possible toxic substances. Naturally, energy efficiency and being recyclable are built in at the design stage. With each new product, we strive towards minimising our environmental impact.
