Designed for Indoor Golf Simulation

Dedicated Golf Simulation Picture Mode

The ZW351ST-B features a dedicated Golf Simulation Mode designed to improve the appearance of virtual golf courses.

Enhanced color tuning helps deliver natural green grass tones, bright blue skies, improved contrast, and greater visibility of course details.

The result is a more immersive golf simulator experience, whether you're practicing your swing or playing virtual rounds.

Short-Throw Projection Helps Reduce Shadows

Projector placement is an important consideration when designing an indoor golf simulator.

The ZW351ST-B's short-throw lens allows the projector to be positioned closer to the impact screen, helping reduce the shadows that can occur when golfers stand between a projector and the screen.

With a 0.521:1 throw ratio, the projector can produce large images without requiring the longer distances associated with standard-throw models.

This makes it especially useful for home golf simulators, garages, basements, and other indoor spaces with limited depth.

Bright, Clear Images

With 3,600 lumens of brightness, the ZW351ST-B delivers vivid WXGA images in a variety of indoor lighting conditions.

Its laser light source provides consistent illumination and helps maintain image quality during extended simulator sessions.

Compatible with Multiple Impact Screen Formats

Golf simulator enclosures and impact screens come in different sizes and aspect ratios.

The ZW351ST-B supports:

• 16:9 widescreen

• 16:10 widescreen

• 4:3 traditional

• 1:1 square

• Custom screen formats

Geometric correction and horizontal and vertical keystone adjustments provide additional installation flexibility.

Actual image coverage depends on the screen dimensions, projector placement, and selected aspect ratio.

DuraCore Laser Technology — Up to 30,000 Hours

Optoma's DuraCore laser technology is designed for long-lasting, dependable performance.

Unlike traditional lamp-based projectors, the ZW351ST-B eliminates routine projector lamp replacement.

Advantages include:

• Up to 30,000 hours of laser light-source operation in Eco mode

• Consistent brightness and vivid colors

• Instant on/off functionality

• Reduced maintenance requirements

• Lower long-term operating costs compared with conventional lamp-based systems

This makes the projector well suited for regular golf practice, simulator entertainment, and extended daily operation.

The Optoma Smart Control app allows compatible iOS and Android mobile devices to manage projector functions.

Features include:

• Power on/off control

• Input source selection

• Projector status monitoring

• Display adjustments

Smart Fit Image Alignment

Optoma Smart Fit uses a smartphone camera to detect the projection screen frame and assist with automatic image alignment.

This can simplify setup and reduce the need for repeated manual adjustments.

The ZW351ST-B supports:

• Horizontal and vertical keystone correction of ±15°

• 360-degree projection

• Portrait orientation
