VIRTUALLY MAINTENANCE FREE = LOWER COST
OF OWNERSHIP
EX779 provides lower cost of ownership, longer life and improved
reliability. The filter-free projector design does not require regular filter
cleaning or filter replacement, saving you time and money.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
The EX779 incorporates energy saving features to conserve power and
extend the lamp life:
To achieve the maximum 3000hrs2lamp life time the
projector should be operating in STD mode and the shut
down timer should be enabled to automatically switch off the
projector if it is accidently left on when no longer required.
Enabling the <1W Standby mode will ensure the minimum
energy consumption when the projector is not being used.
EX779
EXTRA FEATURES
Easy lamp replacement from the top cover
Direct power on – start up time is significantly reduced
as standby mode is bypassed when the power cable is inserted
into an active power outlet. This eliminates the need to use the
‘Power’ button on the remote control or the projector keypad.
Signal power on – the projector will power on when it receives
a signal. This eliminates the need to use the ‘Power’ button
on the remote control or the projector keypad.
Auto power off – if after a pre-determined time the projector
does not receive a signal, it will turn itself off automatically,
conserving power and extending the life of the lamp.
Key pad lock – once enabled prevents unauthorised
adjustments ensuring the projector can only be controlled via
the remote control.
+12v Trigger – electric screen control
Logo capture – customise your start up screen
Easy to use remote with laser pointer, mouse control and direct
source selection
†3D TECHNOLOGY
Using the inherent speed of DLP technology, The Optoma EX779
can output video and images at an astonishing rate of 120Hz,
allowing you to show full screen, full colour, stereoscopic 3D. The
3D effect is generated by splitting this signal into two standard
video streams, one for each eye. Using DLP®Link™ technology,
the 3D glasses synchronise with the image on screen to filter
each stream to the correct eye. Your brain then combines the
two streams to make them jump into life.
The 3D features of the EX779 can only be used with compatible
3D content. Typical applications include use with 3D educational
or 3D design and modelling software. Currently the EX779
does not support 3D TV broadcast systems, SKY in the UK
or 3D Blu-ray, though support for these applications may
be added in future using additional hardware.
