Green Solutions

Eco+ technology from Optoma increases our commitment to reducing the impact we all make on the environment
Eco+ Mode
Saving energy, saves money! Eco+ technology reduces the power 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.
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.

Cost Saving - Long Lamp Life
To achieve the maximum 6000hrs2 lamp life, the projector should be operating in Dynamic 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.

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.

How does 3D work?
Using the inherent speed of DLP® technology, Optoma 3D Ready projectors 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 W306ST supports multiple 3D formats from various devices such as PC, Blu-ray 3D™, Sony® PS3, Microsoft® Xbox 360 or 3D TV broadcast system.

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.
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.
Keypad lock - once enabled, prevents unauthorised adjustments ensuring the projector can only be controlled via the remote control.
