Alternatively view up to 4 PC/Laptops side-by-side at the same time, using the free Optoma Presenter software...
...or even broadcast your presentation across a wired/wireless network to as many as 8 projectors simultaneously.
Wireless support requires the optional Optoma mini-WiFi dongle accessory, available separately.
3D Technology
Using the inherent speed of DLP® technology, Optoma Full 3D 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 X501 supports multiple 3D formats from various devices such as PC, Blu-ray 3D™, Sony® PS3, Microsoft® Xbox 360 or 3D TV broadcast systems.
Extensive Connectivity
The X501 accepts a wide variety of computer and video input signals. Connectivity includes: HDMI, DVI-D, dual VGA (Component via adaptor), S-Video, Composite, USB Reader, VGA-Out, RS232, RJ45 and +12V trigger. In addition the optional Wi-Fi accessory can be securely connected to a dedicated hidden USB port.
Five audio inputs for HDMI, PC, video and microphone sources enable the X501 to function not only as an audio switcher and volume controller, but also as a basic PA system for larger meeting rooms; thereby eliminating complicated and costly additional audio hardware and cabling.
Easy Installation with 1.6x Zoom
The X501 can project a 100” diagonal image from any distance between 2.82m to 4.59m to greatly increase your installation flexibility
DICOM simulation mode
Designed specifically for larger meeting rooms and lecture theatres, the X501 includes a special DICOMsim mode that has been specially tuned for viewing greyscale images, perfect for viewing X-rays and scans during medical training.*
*The X501 is not suitable for use in medical diagnosis.
Clear, focused Images
DarkChip3™ from Texas Instruments, combined with Eco+ dynamic lamp technology produce a stunning 15,000:1 contrast ratio for pin sharp graphics and crystal clear text. Crisper whites, ultra-rich blacks makes images come alive and text easier to read - ideal for business and education presentations.
Amazing Colour
Watch your movies, TV shows and play games with stunning colours in any environment. Optoma projectors provides you with reliable performance suitable for any content and environment. Our home projectors are capable of reproducing the Rec.709 colour gamut, the international HDTV standard to guarantee accurate reproduction of cinematic colour exactly as the director intended. Or more saturated colours for a punchy looking image, great for gaming and animated movies.
System integration and control
Using the free Crestron Roomview software, multiple X501 can be monitored over LAN and also provide the user with an email message alert in case an error occurs or a lamp fails. Cut up to 30% from your energy bills using 24-hour automated power scheduling to ensure that projectors power off when not in use.
The web browser interface and full support for Extron’s IP Link, AMX dynamic device discovery and PJ-Link protocols, allow almost all aspects of the X501 to be controlled across a network, reducing installation costs and keeping you in control, wherever you are. While RS-232 connectivity ensures legacy support for existing control systems.
Easy lamp replacement
In applications requiring smooth continuous operation, minimising service time is essential. The X501 lamp can quickly be replaced without the need to remove the projector from where it is installed.

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*.
~ 100% Power consumption
~ 30% Power consumption
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.

Environmentally friendly
To achieve the maximum lamp life, the projector should be operating in Eco+ 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
