Advantages

The ZW350ST combines high brightness and sustained colour performance from laser illumination, reduced power consumption versus lamp-based models, and eco-friendly packaging. Its short throw lens lets you create large images from a short distance while the built-in speaker and RS232/AMX/Crestron control options simplify installation and remote management.

How to use

Place the Optoma ZW350ST close to the screen or wall according to the short throw ratio to obtain the desired image size (for example, a 100" image from just over a metre). Connect a source via HDMI and use the USB-A port to power an HDMI dongle if required. Use the projector's menu or compatible control systems (RS232, AMX, Crestron RoomView) to adjust image settings, input selection and power management. For typical operation, use the projector’s preset display modes to match content type and ambient lighting.

Recommendations

For prolonged reliability, allow periodic standby intervals: Optoma recommends turning the projector off or into standby for around 30 minutes every 24 hours when used continuously. Use the built-in speaker for small rooms and add external audio if higher sound levels are required. Position the projector to minimise shadows and maintain ventilation clearances to preserve DuraCore cooling performance.
