Vivitek Introduces Short Throw Laser Projector DU4381Z-ST WUXGA to Deliver Advanced Visual
Experiences
Vivitek's new DU4381Z-ST WUXGA laser projector delivers razor-sharp projection with a diagonal image
of 300 inches
Vivitek, the visual display brand for all meeting spaces, has delivered a Short Throw laser
projector packed with non-stop performance, value, and durability with the introduction of the new
DU4381Z-ST WUXGA. Ideally suited to the needs of galleries, museums, the education sector and
commercial applications, the DU4381Z-ST offers 6,100 lumens of high brightness, an increase over its
predecessor, the DU4371-ST - a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio, and up to 30,000 hours of laser light
source life.
Large screen projection in tight spaces
Thanks to its advanced design, the DU4381Z-ST brings the benefit of large projection sizes to any
venue, even with limited installation space. With its 0.5 short-throw lens, this projector only
needs a distance of two metres from the wall to achieve an impressive image size of 185 inches. At a
distance of 3.23 metres, it can still deliver a razor-sharp projection with a diagonal image of 300
inches.
Additionally, the DU4381Z-ST's lightweight design of 10.5 kg and 360-degree positioning options
enable limitless positioning possibilities, granting venues like museums and galleries unparalleled
freedom in projector placement. It eliminates previous limitations that hindered creative
installation and immersive visual experiences.
The DU4381Z-ST is equipped with DLP DarkChip3 and BrilliantColor technologies to ensure a brilliant
bright and colour-uniform picture with a brightness of up to 6,100 lumens thanks to the advanced
laser phosphor light source. Additionally, it has a 3D synchronization port for compatibility with
the active 3D synchronization protocol for IR (infrared). To facilitate installations where the
image signal needs to be transmitted over long distance by cable, the HDBaseT interface and a
standard CAT5e/6-LAN interface have been integrated in the DU4381Z-ST.
Uninterrupted performance
With this projector being powered by a laser light source, it is perfectly suited for 24/7
operation. The advanced projector's fan error auto protection will bring users peace of mind that
the image will never fail. Even in the rare event of a fan failure during operation, the projector
will still function stably without the need for immediate shut down. This ensures uninterrupted
gallery presentations, museum immersive infotainment and even lessons and presentations to continue
without interruptions.
Easy Monitoring and management
For network monitoring and management the short throw projector supports Crestron® RoomView ™
software. The Vivitek PJ-Control tool can also be utilized with the DU4381Z-ST to control viewing
options, settings, scheduling, and display adjustment features. For added convenience, it also helps
users to control multiple projectors remotely over the network, allowing for the creation of
projector groups for simultaneous control.
Commenting on its introduction, Holger Graeff, General Manager, Vivitek EMEA, said, “Performance,
brightness, value, and durability are the hallmarks of Vivitek projectors, and the new DU4381Z-ST
majors in all of them. With this new model, we're offering new levels of performance and value to
deliver a projector that's class-leading and meets the needs of its target market.â€
