ACCESSORIES AND FEATURES

Acer Color Boost 3D

Acer Color Boost 3D: Acer Color Boost 3D is the innovative combination of a continuously improved image processing algorithm, the latest DLP chipset, an optimized design of the 6-segment color wheel and advanced lighting control technology. As a result, Acer projectors are able to project absolutely lifelike colors throughout their life cycle – in both 2D and 3D modes.

Acer Color Safe II

Acer ColorSafe II guarantees consistent, brilliant and natural color projection throughout the life of the projector. This is ensured by the use of DLP® technology and a 5-year warranty on the DLP® chip. Projectors without DLP® technology experience a decrease in colour brilliance over time.

AC Power On

With the AC Power On function, the projector is able to turn on automatically when the projector is powered. You no longer need to turn on the projector separately, but can start the projector directly, for example by turning on the power in the meeting room.

Auto Ceiling Mount Correction

Auto Ceiling-Mount Correction: The built-in gravity sensor in the Acer projector detects when the projector is mounted overhead on a ceiling and automatically rotates the projection 180° without any additional menu adjustments.

Automatic Keystone Correction

Thanks to the automatic vertical keystone correction, the Acer projector automatically compensates for trapezoidal distortion if the projector is not positioned exactly vertically and projects a rectangular image.

Customizable startup screen

The Customizable Startup Screen allows you to create an individual startup screen per screenshot. This startup screen, no matter if it is the business user’s company logo or a home user’s favorite photo, is automatically displayed when the projector is started.

The Customizable Startup Screen allows you to create an individual startup screen per screenshot. This startup screen, no matter if it is the business user’s company logo or a home user’s favorite photo, is automatically displayed when the projector is started.

HDMI 3D

HDMI 3D: The integrated HDMI 1.4a standard allows 3D content to be transferred from suitable playback devices such as 3D Blu-ray players, 3D set-top boxes and 3D game consoles without the need for an additional PC. For example, Acer 3D shutter glasses Bluray 3D movies and 3D TV shows can be viewed in your living room up to 7.62 meters (300″) diagonal.

Acer Smart Format Technology

Acer SmartFormat technology supports a wide range of input signals, eliminating the need for switching on your notebook/PC, DVD player and receiver. Signals up to 1080p can be received by Acer ColorBoost projectors with HDMI* using Acer SmartFormat technology and can be played back in compressed form.

• Depends on model

Original 24p

Experience true cinema at 24 frames per second. The Acer Blu-Ray projector reproduces films in the original cinema format as they were shot on the film set. See 24p movies through the eyes of the director.

Acer LumiSense

Acer LumiSense technology uses an ambient light sensor to detect brightness in the projection environment and adjust brightness and color saturation accordingly. In addition, Acer LumiSense also analyzes the projected image and dynamically optimizes the quality of the displayed image.

Installation menu

With the help of the installation menu, the Acer projector can be perfectly aligned with the surface to be projected in no time at all. The Installation menu can be accessed by pressing the Menu button even if no source is connected to the projector.

MHL Connectivity

The MHL connectivity (via the MHLTM/HDMITM port) allows you to transmit an uncompressed digital HDMI signal from your smartphone while it is charging via the port. Using the unique optional Acer MHL wireless adapter, content can even be wirelessly transferred from a video source to the projector via Miracast WiFi Display, WiDi Wireless Display or DLNA.

Wall Color Compensation

Wall-Color Compensation: Best image quality enables wall color correction on colored projection surfaces such as blackboards and wallpaper. 5 optimised wall colours can be compensated easily and without any further settings via the menu for best picture quality.

PIN Security

Acer PIN Security provides the ability to set a PIN to protect the Acer projector from unauthorized use and theft. A lost PIN can only be reset by the Acer Service after ownership verification.

Auto Shutdown

The Auto Shutdown function automatically shuts down the Acer projector, if no input signal is received after a preset time. This function can be set individually via the menu and helps to save power and lamp hours.
