Optoma Launches the ZK1000, Upgrading the ProScene Series for Enhanced Visuals

Optoma Unveils ZK1000 Projector: A New Era in Display Technology

FREMONT, Calif., May 19, 2026 – Optoma Technology, known for its innovative visual display solutions, has expanded its ProScene Series with the introduction of the ZK1000 4K UHD+ WQUXGA laser projector. This new offering solidifies Optoma's commitment to delivering high-brightness projection systems tailored for various environments, including corporate, educational, and immersive rental settings.

The ZK1000 joins a distinguished lineup that includes the ZK1120 and ZK1320 projectors, which were celebrated as "Best of Show" at InfoComm 2025 by notable industry publications such as ProjectorCentral, Sound & Video Contractor, and AV Technology. These projectors are engineered to provide outstanding brightness levels—10,000, 11,000, and 13,500 lumens, respectively—alongside WQUXGA resolution (3840 x 2400), ensuring a visually striking experience with 9.2 million pixels that enhance the overall viewing area.

Cutting-Edge Technology for Stunning Visuals

Optoma leverages Texas Instruments' 0.8" HEP DLP® DMD technology, resulting in robust colors, improved refresh rates, and remarkable contrast. The ZK series projectors, particularly the ZK1000, have been designed with a unique lens technology that allows for greater flexibility in installation while maintaining a compact footprint of approximately 37 lbs without the lens. This makes them perfect for large venue applications and performance-driven settings that demand high-quality visuals.

One of the significant advantages of these new projectors is their low maintenance requirement. With an exceptional lifespan of up to 30,000 hours in Eco mode, users can enjoy reduced power consumption and lower total ownership costs, enhancing the appeal of these projectors for commercial environments.

Versatile Installation and Operational Features

The ProScene series offers nine interchangeable lens options that range from ultra-short to long throw capabilities (0.34 - 8.64), complete with motorized lens shift, zoom, and focus features. This versatility ensures simple installation in varied environments, including tight spaces like museums or rear projection applications. The BX-CTA28 ultra-short throw lens is particularly useful for installations where space is at a premium, allowing for a seamless projection without drawing attention away from the display.

Moreover, Optoma's projectors support Art-Net™, a communication protocol that enhances the integration of lighting control within staged setups. This innovation synchronizes projection with various lighting elements to create a cohesive visual environment, making setup easier and minimizing cable clutter.

To facilitate effective management, the projectors are compatible with Optoma Management Suite Cloud (OMSC). This intuitive software allows IT professionals and administrators to monitor, diagnose, and manage multiple displays from one centralized location, whether local or remote, streamlining operations and enhancing efficiency.

Pricing and Availability

The ProScene series projectors are available through leading distributors and resellers at competitive prices: ZK1000 for $14,999, ZK1120 for $17,999, and ZK1320 for $22,999. This price point reflects Optoma's commitment to providing high-performance projectors suited for various demanding applications.
