consumption to as little as 30%. This intelligent feature also has a
positive effect on the lamp life, increasing it up to 70% while lowering
the total cost of ownership and reducing maintenance.

Auto Power Off
There may be instances when the projector is left running when not in
use. To help save energy if the projector is left running and no source
is detected, the “Auto Power Off” feature automatically turns off the
projector after a set period of time.

We know that improving our products is
the best way to reduce our impact on the
environment. That's why at Optoma we
design our products to have a long usable
life, use fewer materials, ship with the
minimum packaging and be free of all
possible toxic substances. Naturally,
energy efficiency and being recyclable are
built in at the design stage. With each new
product, we strive towards minimising our
environmental impact.
Eco AV Mute
Stay in control of your presentation with the Eco AV mute feature.
Direct your audience's attention away from the screen by blanking the
image when no longer needed. This also instantly reduces the power
consumption to 30%, further prolonging the life of your lamp.
Environmentally Friendly
To achieve the maximum 6500hrs[2] lamp life, the projector should
be operating in Eco+ mode and the auto power off feature should be
enabled to automatically switch off the projector if it is accidentally left
on. Enabling the <0.5W standby mode ensures the minimum energy
consumption when the projector is not switched on.
Rapid Off
It takes less than 10 seconds for the projector to power up and
shutdown, saving both time and energy.
