Image Quality
Superb image quality is at the heart of every ProScene product design. At every step, commencing with the incredibly reliable, high resolution WUXGA DLP® chip where the image is initially created, via the UHP lamp pulsing technology that fine tunes the colour to exacting standards, through to the precision optics to focus the image on a screen, accuracy and integrity of the image are paramount.
ProScene chose DLP® technology for its image quality and unmatched reliability. The reflective nature of DLP® micro-mirror technology provides highly efficient bright images with great contrast whilst maintaining precise colour accuracy and natural, real-world colour reproduction. For demanding professional applications, the proven reliability of DLP® technology makes it the obvious choice.
DLP® Technology
DLP® technology from Texas Instruments® is widely recognised and acclaimed for its unmatched reliability and long lasting image performance. When combined with high brightness and native contrast ratios, it becomes the obvious choice for demanding applications. Independent testing has proven DLP® to be the most reliable of projector technologies. Whilst other technologies may show image quality decline after only a few thousand hours, DLP® technology can remain unchanged over hundreds of thousands of hours.
Image colour and size control
Where detail really matters, the full WUXGA (1920 x 1200) resolution offers 15% more pixels than 1080p and 60% more than SXGA+. This enables unscaled Full HD video and extra detail. Time Code information can be displayed onscreen at the same time, perfect for soundtrack recording & video editing where precise timing can be critical.
UHP lamps
The 370W UHP lamp provides the highest possible luminance, the essential prerequisite of all highly efficient projectors.
These lamps have outstanding brightness, stay brighter for longer, and provide an optimal colour spectrum. In addition, the lamp drivers are specifically tuned for the lamps, ensuring not only optimum operating conditions for every situation, but also provide sophisticated lamp pulsing modes and the assurance that colour can be fine-tuned according to the application.
Clear, focused images
DarkChip3™ technology from Texas Instruments produces a stunning 2000:1 contrast ratio for pin sharp graphics and crystal clear text. Crisper whites, ultra-rich blacks makes images come alive and text easier to read.
Amazing colours
The EH505 incorporates BrilliantColor™ technology to produce stunningly bright images with perfectly balanced life-like colours.
Flexibility
Installation Flexibility
To help meet the seemingly limitless challenges of ProAV installations, the EH505 provides multiple lens options with zoom and focus adjustment to ensure you can get the image size you require, while a wide lens shift range helps you get the image exactly where you want it.
All 3 optional lenses, including the 0.77:1 short throw lens can use the full lens shift range.

Features
DICOM simulation mode
Designed specifically for larger meeting rooms and lecture theatres, the EH505 includes a special DICOMsim mode that has been specifically tuned for viewing greyscale images, perfect for viewing X-rays and scans during medical training.*
*The EH505 is not suitable for use in medical diagnosis.
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 EH505 supports multiple 3D formats from various devices such as PC, Blu-ray 3D™, Sony® PS3, Microsoft® Xbox 360 or 3D TV broadcast system.
Edge Blending Tools
No two projectors are completely identical. When performing complex, or even simple edge-blend projects using multiple projectors, it can be difficult to achieve good results if the images do not match. The EH505 incorporates the following features to ensure high quality and consistent results.
Colour matching
The EH505 has a full 3-axis colour matching system, which combined with accurate measurements can create seamless blends every time.
Brightness matching
The brightness of a projector will vary throughout its life. To correctly match multiple units, the EH505 has 10x lamp power steps between 80~100% full brightness.
Wired remote
The wired remote connection allows all aspects of the projector to be individually controlled without requiring a line-of-sight to the projector; invaluable when using multiple units during live events.
Control
System integration control
Multiple EH505 can be monitored over LAN and can also provide the user with an email message alert in case an error occurs or a lamp fails or needs to be replaced using Crestron Roomview. The web browser interface and full support for Telnet, Extron’s IP Link, AMX dynamic device discovery and PJ-Link protocols, allow almost all aspects of the EH505 to be controlled across a network, keeping you in control, wherever you are.
