Fujifilm Launches FP-Z8000: A Compact, Lightweight Ultra-Short Throw Projector 

FUJIFILM North America Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of the FUJIFILM PROJECTOR Z8000 (FP-Z8000), joining the lineup of Z Series ultra-short throw projector.

“The FP-Z8000 is a high-brightness projector capable of projecting images in 8000 lumens (lm) of brightness,” said James Avato, vice president, sales and service, FUJIFILM North America Corporation’s Optical Device division. “Its class-leading^*1 compact and lightweight design accommodates installation in a wide variety of conditions. Images can be projected at various directions without having to move the main unit, and its ability to project large images at short distances enables spatial presentation that makes effective use of limited spaces.” 

Fujifilm entered into the projector market in 2019 with the launch of the ultra-short throw “FUJIFILM PROJECTOR Z5000 (FP-Z5000),” equipped with a folded two-axial rotatable lens to project images to various directions without having to move the main unit. 

Main Features:

• The main body is compact (18.1” W x 20.1” D x 6.4” H / (460mm W x 510mm D x 162.5mm H^*2) and lightweight (weighing approximately 40.6 lbs. / 18.4kg) design. It can be positioned vertically or horizontally to enable spatial presentation that makes effective use of limited space.
• The projector’s ultra-short throw lens projects dynamic 100-inch images from a close-up distance of 28.3” (72cm).
• The projector features a Lens Shift function of up to 70% vertically and 35% horizontally^*3, making it easy to adjust where projected images should be shown across a wide range. The function makes it easy to shift the position of projected images across a wide range without having to change the location of the main unit or direction of the lens. Furthermore, its 1.1x optical zoom capability means the size of projected images can be adjusted easily. This optical zoom capability can be combined with the Lens Shift function to enable efficient image adjustments.
• The projector supports zero-offset projection, eliminating the offset that occurs in conventional mirror-system ultra-short throw projectors to allow maximum use of projection surfaces in spatial presentation.
• The FP-Z8000 has the warping function^*4, which corrects distortion caused when projecting images on a curved surface, enabling spatial presentation on curved walls.
• When up to four FP‑Z8000 projectors are used in combination to project a single larger image, Edge Blending function^*4 helps adjust the joins. Images thrown by the projectors can be naturally stitched together to produce dynamic images on a massive screen.
• The projector offers interfaces including HDMI that supports 4K signal input^*5 as well as DisplayPortTM and 3G-SDI.

*1 Among ultra-short throw projectors equipped with a laser light source capable of projecting images in brightness of 8000lm or above (TR value of 0.4 or below) as of March 4, 2021 according to Fujifilm. The Throw Ratio (TR) value represents the ratio between the screen's width and projection distance. The smaller the TR value is, the closer the projector can throw large images onto a screen.
*2 Dimensions of the main body, excluding protruded sections and adjustment leg, with the lens folded in.
*3 A function that allows the user to adjust the position of projected images vertically and horizontally without having to move the main unit or change the lens’s direction. The percentage figures indicate the range of vertical and horizontal repositioning of projected images in relation to the height and width of an image projected on the screen when Lens Shift function is turned off.
*4 The warping function can be used from the dedicated application of FP-Z8000.

*5 The port accepts 4K signal input and outputs images with a resolution of up to 1920 x 1080 (full HD).
