Description
The new business standard with an innovative short-focus zoom lens and bright mode.
Identical to the PLUS U5-132, but featuring the new "Bright Mode" function. Bright Mode allows the projector to disengage the color wheel with a manual switch, resulting in a projected monochromatic image with a 50% increase in brightness. When in Bright Mode, the image will not be in color, but with a full greyscale. This is ideal for projecting spreadsheets, x-rays, and any full text applications.
You no longer have to make the choice between a short-focus or zoom lens with the XGA U5-232. An innovative "short-focus zoom lens" capable of doing double duty has been created by PLUS for the new U5-Series. Also, at 2000 lumens you won't have to worry about ambient lighting ever again. The U5-232 can meet all of your demands for the highest quality presentations.
The U5 series of projectors is the new business standard line from PLUS. Texas Intruments' next-generation DLP DDR chip, an updated design, improved optics, and much more improvements to every feature. Use of the new DDR dramatically improves the projector's contrast with a high 2000:1 ratio. Project crisp, sharp images in which black looks black, and white is really white. A rich range of gradations enables the faithful reproduction of subtle color shades, greatly enhancing the picture's quality.
Further protect your investment: U5 series projectors can be set to require the input of a password at startup. We recommend affixing a label to your projector indicating that it is password-protected to prevent tampering or theft. Also, the standard security cable slot is featured on all PLUS projectors.
Bright Mode Function:
An extra 1000 lumens of brightness with the flick of a switch! Slide the lever to the black & white position for Bright Mode. When in Bright Mode, the image will not be in color, but with a full greyscale. This is ideal for projecting spreadsheets, x-rays, and any full text applications.
Contrast Ratio:
An incredible Light/Dark contrast at 2000:1! Black is black, and white is white. This provides clearer images of text and fine drawings than other low-contrast projectors with the same brightness, also allowing fine gradations of expression with photographs and other images.
Equipped with an ultra short-throw lens, re-sizing your image optically has never been easier! This makes it easier to set up when delivering presentations in cramped quarters. You'll have a large screen from a short distance.
Digital Zoom Feature:
This function projects the point you want to emphasize most on the screen, and allows greater control with a scrolling feature while zoomed in.
