Vivitek has announced that the DU8090Z laser projector, introduced at ISE 2016, is now shipping. The DU8090Z is equipped with a laser light source which offers up to 20,000 hours of operation time in addition to 8000 ANSI Lumens brightness and strong colour accuracy. This model is described as perfect for installations where the maintenance space is restricted like conference halls, auditoriums, theatres and all other large venues where access to the installed projector can be difficult.
With built-in edge-blending, warping and portrait mode projection with 360 degrees, the DU8090Z benefits from a native WUXGA resolution and includes the DLP and 
BrilliantColor technologies from Texas Instruments. The DU8090Z delivers brightness up to 8,000 ANSI lumens with a contrast ratio of 10,000:1.
“In addition to its excellent performance, maximum flexibility during installation and durability of over 20,000 hours, this new laser projector is a real technological breakthrough for Vivitek and I am confident that the integrators will be blown away by this new large venue product.”
“The DU8090Z meets the company’s commitment to the environment perfectly. This new projector consumes less energy, has a lamp-less mercury free design and is equipped with an efficient cooling system and an airtight sealed optical engine in order to reduce the maintenance,” commented Holger Graeff, General Manager EMEA of Vivitek Corporation.
In addition to the 3D compatibility and a wide range of interchangeable optical lenses, the DU8090Z features a full suite of connectivity options including HDMI 1.4a, DVI-D, Component 5BNC, 3G-SDI, and HDBaseT interface support for the distribution of HD video contents over a standard CAT5e/6 LAN cable.
Easy to set up and install, the Vivitek DU8090Z has a wide range of interchangeable lenses available to choose from, as well as motorised focus and zoom in addition to horizontal and vertical lens shift for greater installation flexibility and 10 predefined lens positions which are registered in the Lens Position Memory (LPM).
The new Vivitek DU8090Z large venue projector benefits from a five-year warranty and three years on the laser light source (or 10,000 hours of use). Its list price excluding VAT is Euros 10,990.
