Single Chip DLP Technology
Uses a combination of a 0.65" chip covered in millions of micro-mirrors and a color wheel to produce an image. DLP features less spacing between pixels and better contrast than many comparable LCD-based systems

1.5 to 1.6:1 Throw Ratio
Throw ratio is one of the most important specifications a projector lens has as it tells you the image size (width) you will get at a give distance from the screen. For example, at the 1.05 zoom setting and a 11' 3" distance this projector will throw an 87"-wide (100-diagonal) image

3000 Lumen Lamp
A single lamp provides 3000 lumens brightness in Normal mode, and is estimated to last 5000 hours (up to 6500 hours if constantly used in the lower brightness DB Mode). To determine the ideal brightness level for your application, you will need to take into account the screen width, distance from the projector to the screen (throw distance), amount of ambient light near the screen, and the reflectivity (gain) of the screen surface used

16:9 Native Aspect Ratio
This is a 1080p native resolution projector which means the native aspect ratio is the "widescreen" 16:9 format. In addition, the projector can show 4:3 content, either by adding black bars to the sides (pillaring), stretching the image to fit, or cropping the image

Mobile High-Definition Link (MHL) Compatibility
Through the HDMI inputs you can connect mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones that have MHL outputs and charge them while they are connected. An MHL to HDMI adapter or cable is required, available separately

Supports VESA 3D and DLP Link Active 3D Glasses
With HDMI 1.4a mandatory 3D compliance, the HD26 can display 3D images from a variety of sources, including many Blu-ray discs and video games. A sync port on the back of the projector allows you to use VESA 3D compatible active 3D glasses. Alternatively, DLP Link glasses, such as the Optoma BG-ZD301 (available separately), can be used. With DLP Link glasses the sync data is sandwiched between video frames thanks to DLP technology's high scan rate negating the need for additional sync hardware connected to the projector

Note: This will not support all 3D devices. Please ensure your source can supply one of the HDMI 1.4a mandatory formats

Low Voltage Trigger
The 12VDC output can be wired with other equipment in your A/V system, such as a motorized screen, so that when the projector powers on or off the attached equipment responds appropriately - for example, by raising or lowering the screen

20,000:1 Dynamic Contrast Ratio
From off to full brightness, the projector features a 20,000:1 contrast ratio. In dynamic mode the projector will adjust lamp output based on the tonal values of a screen to help boost the effective contrast ratio
