Optoma partners with Navitar for 4K projector lenses

June 30, 2020

Optoma Technology, a 4K projection technology company, has partnered with projection solutions provider, Navitar, to design two lenses, including an interchangeable ultra-long throw and a fish-eye lens for dome projection for Optoma's ZK1050 and ZK750 4K UHD high-lumen ProScene projector models, according to a press release.

The ZK1050 and ZK750 feature 10,000 and 7,500 lumens of brightness respectively and both offer a 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio. The companies designed the NuView® 575MCZ087 ultra-throw lens to offer customers a throw ratio of 9.1 - 16.2:1 with manual zoom and focus.

Navitar and Optomoa also designed the Navitar HemiStar® HS30 fish-eye lens, which is a single lens solution for dome applications.

"By partnering with Navitar, Optoma can now offer complete solutions for 4K dome applications and address the needs of challenging installation environments where a long throw lens is the only option," Brian Soto, director of product management at Optoma, said in the release. "Additionally, as a result of testing performed by Navitar's projection experts, we can reassure system integrators, dealers, and consultants looking for a trustworthy partner, that the combination of the ZK750/ZK1050 with the 575MCZ087 or HemiStar HS30, will deliver the perfect image for the target installation."
