WUXGA 15,000 Lumen Laser Phosphor Projector

Ideal Use Cases

The Vivitek DU8395Z is designed for large-space projection applications that require high light output, detailed WUXGA images and flexible image positioning. Its specified applications include projection mapping, edge blending and picture-in-picture operation. With 15,000 ANSI lumens and a native 1920 x 1200 resolution, it is equipped to produce vivid, sharp images while preserving the wider 16:10 workspace. Eight optional lenses cover throw ratios from 0.38 to 8.26:1, allowing the projection system to be configured around substantially different room dimensions and projection distances.

Why Choose This Model

The DU8395Z combines a lamp-free laser phosphor light source with single-chip DLP technology from Texas Instruments. The laser source is rated for up to 20,000 hours of use, reducing the need for conventional lamp replacement. Image specifications include a 30,000:1 contrast ratio and a dynamic contrast ratio of 3,000,000:1. This combination of brightness, WUXGA detail and dynamic contrast is intended to deliver clear, vibrant projection in demanding large-space environments. Its 0.67-inch DMD imaging chip supports a native 16:10 presentation format.

Installation and Integration

Installation flexibility is built around eight optional lenses, motorized zoom, motorized focus and motorized lens shift. The available optical range extends from a 0.38 throw ratio to 8.26:1. Vertical optical shift is specified at +64% and -33%, while horizontal shift reaches +24% and -14%, based on total image height. Image alignment can be refined with vertical keystone correction of ±40 degrees and horizontal correction of ±60 degrees.

The connection panel supports two HDMI 1.4 inputs, DVI-D, VGA input, VGA output and component video through five BNC connectors for RGBHV signals. Professional signal routing is supported through 3G-SDI input and output, while one RJ45 connection provides HDBaseT/LAN functionality. Integration and control connections include RS-232, a 12V trigger, a wired remote-control jack and 3D synchronization input and output. These interfaces allow the projector to work with both direct video sources and structured control or signal-distribution systems.

Performance Highlights

The projector displays WUXGA content at 1920 x 1200 and supports that resolution at 60Hz. Video compatibility covers SDTV formats at 480i and 576i, EDTV at 480p and 576p, and HDTV at 720p, 1080i and 1080p. It also supports NTSC, PAL and SECAM standards. The listed 3D capabilities include DLP Link for PC and video, Direct 3D through HDMI 1.4a, and top/bottom, right/left and frame-sequential formats. Eco-mode operating noise is rated at 42 dB.

What Makes It Different

The defining feature of the DU8395Z is the combination of 15,000 ANSI-lumen output with a broad optional-lens range and motorized optical controls. The available throw-ratio span accommodates configurations ranging from very short projection distances to long-throw layouts. Motorized focus, zoom and lens shift provide adjustment without requiring manual changes at the lens itself. Edge blending and projection-mapping support further distinguish the model for multi-image and shaped-surface applications, while picture-in-picture mode provides an additional presentation option.

The chassis measures 500 x 580 x 205 mm and weighs 29 kg. It accepts 100-240 VAC at 50/60Hz and consumes less than 0.5 W in standby mode. Instant On/Off is also listed among its available features.

Final Assessment

The Vivitek DU8395Z is a high-output WUXGA laser phosphor projector built around installation flexibility. Its 15,000 ANSI lumens, motorized optics, eight optional lenses, 3G-SDI connectivity and HDBaseT/LAN interface address the principal requirements of large-space projection. Standard accessories include a VGA cable, wired remote cable, AC power cord, user manual on CD, lens cap, regional warranty card and remote control with battery. Warranty coverage is five years for the projector and five years or 20,000 hours for the laser phosphor light source, whichever occurs first.
