Features

Stress-free Installation Adapts to Various Layouts

Designed for golf simulators and digital museums, the VMZ7ST Series projects vibrant 100-inch images from just 1.72 m (5.6 ft), minimizing screen shadows in tight spaces. Powered focus eliminates manual adjustment in hard-to-reach areas, while 1.2x optical zoom, V/H lens shift, and 6-Point Screen Correction enhance layout flexibility. Grid Adjustment, Angle Monitor5, and data-cloning6 via LAN/USB streamline installation, making the VMZ7ST Series a smart choice for creating engaging experiences in diverse environments.

Clear Projection in Bright Spaces

The VMZ7ST Series delivers sharp, realistic visuals in well-lit spaces with up to 7,000 lm3 brightness, 3,000,000:17 Dynamic Contrast, and Daylight View Basic for optimal image quality in any lighting. Vivid Green Mode enhances colors for more vibrant reproduction, making it ideal for golf simulator content. DIGITAL LINK supports 4K signal input1 and control commands over LAN, increasing flexibility in larger venues, while CEC command-compatible8 HDMI™ simplifies control with compatible devices.

Eco-Friendly Design

Designed for a sustainable life cycle, the projector body plastic contains about 56 %9 recycled resins and is shipped in a carton featuring easily recyclable cardboard insulation. Its high-efficiency laser light source and long-life ECO Filter require no maintenance for 20,000 hours10, minimizing downtime, resource consumption, and waste. Auto Power On11 reduces energy wastage during idle periods, while the new built-in scheduling feature supports automated operation and playback according to a daily schedule, optimizing resource management.

1 4K/30p input signals are converted to the projector's resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels). YPBPR 4:2:0 format only for 4K/30p signals input via DIGITAL LINK.

2 Requires AJ-WM50 Series Wireless Module (sold separately).

4 When [PICTURE MODE] is set to [DYNAMIC] and [LIGHT POWER] is set to [NORMAL]. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with American National Standards Institute standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.

5 The values displayed in the OSD are based on the results of angle sensor detection and may differ from the actual projection angle. They are for reference only, and accuracy is not guaranteed.

6 Supported on identical models only. Excludes passwords, projector name/ID, time, date, time zone, and network settings.

7 Full On/Full Off, when [PICTURE MODE] is set to [DYNAMIC] and [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] is set to [1]. Measurement, measuring conditions, and notation method comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.

8 Depending on the connected CEC command-compatible device, the link control may not operate normally.

9 By total weight of plastic parts in the projector main unit. Excludes printed circuit boards, labels, cables, connectors, electronic components, optical components, ESD components, EMI component adhesives, and coatings.

10 Around this time, the light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level ([PICTURE MODE]: [DYNAMIC], [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] set to [2], temperature 30 °C [86 °F], elevation 700 m [2,297 ft] with 0.15 mg/m3 of particulate matter). The estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depending on the environment. Filter cleaning cycle: 20,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.08 mg/m3), 10,000 hours (under dust conditions of 0.15 mg/m3). The filter cleaning cycle varies depending on the environment.

11 Settings cannot be made when [STANDBY MODE] is set to [ECO] or when [IN STANDBY MODE] is set to [ON] in the [AUDIO SETTINGS] menu. Auto Power On is supported when the input signal is transmitted via HDMI™ or COMPUTER IN terminals.

ISO/IEC 21118: Brightness measured complied with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Measure average illuminance level (lux) of 9 points which are divided on the projected area, and multiply by projected area (m2). Value is the average of all products when shipped.

ANSI lm: Brightness measured complied with American National Standards Institute standards. Measure average illuminance level (lux) of 9 points which are divided on the projected area, and multiply by projected area (m2). Value is the average of all products when shipped.

Result of Brightness measured complied with ISO/IEC 21118 and ANSI will be same.

Center lm: Measured Illumination level at the center of screen (lux) multiplied by projected area (m2). Value is the average of all products when shipped.

When comparing projectors, it's essential to ensure that the brightness ratings are measured using the same standard to get an accurate comparison.
