Stress-Free Installation Flexibility
Streamlined Installation with 1.6x Zoom and Lens-Shift
Maximize your image space in rooms of any shape or size. The VMZ82 Series can project a 100-inch image from 2.35 m (7.71 ft) away, delivering bright, vivid images on screens up to 300 inches. The 1.6x optical zoom (throw-ratio: 1.09–1.77:1) offers mounting flexibility, making it easy to circumvent ceiling obstructions or adapt the image to the projection surface with an existing mount. Combined with Lens-Shift (V: +44%, H: ±20%), it supports off-axis and high ceiling-mount positions while maintaining precise image geometry.
Digital Zoom Extender and Digital Image Shift
Digital Zoom Extender increases the projector’s throw distance beyond the optical zoom range, allowing you to reuse your existing ceiling mount, or install the projector further from the screen, saving on construction work. Digital Image Shift can move the image by up to 10% in any direction when dealing with off-axis or high-ceiling installations.
Note: Resolution decreases when Digital Zoom Extender and Digital Image Shift are used. When Digital Zoom Extender is used, image scaling rate can be adjusted to as low as 80 %. When set below 100 %, image position can be shifted vertically or horizontally using Digital Image Shift. Some image correction functions are unavailable when using this function, and the range of Corner Adjustment is limited. The use of the same projector mount may not be possible in every situation.
Quickly Find Projection Angle with Angle Monitor
Aligning the projection angle with the projection surface can be challenging and often requires two people. The VMZ82 series features a built-in gyrosensor that detects changes in the projector's tilt and roll angles, which are graphically displayed on the OSD menu. Installers can adjust the projection angle without assistance.
Note: The displayed values are based on the angle sensor's detection results and may differ from the actual projection angle. They are for reference only, and accuracy is not guaranteed.
Improved Image Adjustment with New GUI
The VMZ82 Series introduces an updated image adjustment suite with an intuitive new Graphical User Interface (GUI). Designed to simplify setup in various spaces—including projection onto curved surfaces—the GUI optimises settings via remote control, eliminating the need for a connected PC, making installation quicker, easier, and more flexible than ever.
Enhanced Curved Screen Correction
Curve Correction can now adjust each side of the image independently—unlike previous models where opposing sides moved in tandem. This added flexibility supports more accurate correction on curved surfaces, ideal for sports simulators, museum exhibitions, and corporate displays.
6-Point Screen Adjustment System for Corner Projection
For corner or column projection, the 6-point screen adjustment system allows for fine-tuned adjustment of image geometry. It's ideal for maximizing screen utilization in compact meeting rooms or creating impressive visual installations in galleries and exhibition spaces.
Independent 4-Corner Adjustment
Correct trapezoidal distortion from off-center or angled projector positions. With 4-Corner Adjustment, users can independently control each image corner via remote control. Settings can be saved and reapplied to streamline setup across multiple rooms or sessions.
Maintain Aspect Ratio for Natural Scaling
"Maintain Aspect Ratio" keeps the image proportions during adjustment, preventing distortion or stretching. It ensures content looks natural while allowing edge-to-edge alignment, providing a clean, professional finish in any space.
