Footnotes
- Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.
- Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with American National Standards Institute standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.
- Around this time, light output will have decreased to approximately 50 % of its original level ([PICTURE MODE]: [DYNAMIC], [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] set to [2]). Estimated time until light output declines to 50 % varies depending on environment.
- Lens-shift range and keystone correction range may vary depending on lens.
- 4K signals are converted to the projector's resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels) upon projection.
- YPBPR 4:2:0 format only for 4K/60p signals input via DIGITAL LINK.
- Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. On-mode power consumption measured at 25 °C (77 °F) operating temperature at an altitude of 700 m (2,297 ft).
- With legs at shortest position.
- Average value. May differ depending on the actual unit.
- Note that the projector cannot be used at altitudes 2,700 m (8,858 ft) or higher above sea level. In the following operating environments, light output may be reduced to protect the projector: when the projector is used at altitudes below 700 m (2,297 ft) and ambient temperature is 36 °C (97 °F) or higher; when the projector is used at altitudes between 700 m (2,297 ft) and 1,400 m (4,593 ft) exclusive and ambient temperature is 34 °C (93 °F) or higher; when the projector is used at altitudes between 1,400 m (4,593 ft) and 2,100 m (6,890 ft) exclusive and ambient temperature is 32 °C (90 °F) or higher; and when the projector is used at altitudes between 2,100 m (6,890 ft) and 2,700 m (8,858 ft) exclusive and ambient temperature is 30 °C (86 °F) or higher.
- Some functions available in Geo Pro software are not supported by the PT-MZ880 Series.
