Ultra‑Short Throw Technology

The HD35UST’s lens is engineered with a very short focal length, allowing it to project a large image from an extremely close distance. This eliminates the need for a long projection rail or ceiling mounting and reduces shadows on the screen. The 25:1 throw ratio means you can achieve a 100‑inch screen from just under half a meter away.

Full HD Image Quality

Using Optoma’s DLP (Digital Light Processing) chip, the projector delivers sharp, high‑contrast images with accurate color reproduction. The native Full HD resolution ensures that every detail is crisp, while the 3600 ANSI lumens provide a bright image suitable for both dark and moderately lit rooms.

Versatile Connectivity

The HD35UST offers an extensive array of input options:

• HDMI (x2): High‑definition video and audio, supporting up to 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth gaming or sports playback.
• VGA & Component Video: Classic analog connections for older devices.
• Composite Video (RCA): Compatibility with legacy AV equipment.
• MHL: Mobile High‑Definition Link allows direct connection from smartphones or tablets.
• USB‑A (x2): For media playback, firmware updates, and peripheral connectivity.
• RS‑232 & RJ‑45 LAN: Enables remote control via network or serial interface for business presentations.
• Audio Jack: 3.5 mm mini‑jack for external audio sources.

Built‑in Audio and Power Features

The projector includes a 16‑W stereo speaker, eliminating the need for an external sound system in many scenarios. Its power consumption is efficient: only 275 W during operation and a mere 0.5 W when idle. The Direct Power Off feature allows you to shut down the unit without unplugging it, saving energy.

Ease of Setup and Use

With automatic horizontal and vertical keystone correction, users can quickly align the image on any screen or wall surface. The OSD (On‑Screen Display) supports multiple languages, making configuration straightforward for international users. The projector’s lightweight design (3.9 kg) facilitates easy placement on a desk or mounting on a wall.

The metal‑halide lamp offers a long lifespan of 4000 hours, reducing the frequency of replacement. The projector also features a robust chassis with a Kensington lock slot for physical security, and password protection to prevent unauthorized use.
