Mitsubishi Electronics WD380U-EST Projector User Manual


 
Interference-free Projection…
Even in the Tightest of Spaces.
Short-throw-focus projectors designed for small spaces
A high-volume, 10W speaker is built-in,
eliminating the need for an external
speaker. Using the “Audio Mix*”
feature and wireless microphone sold
separately, the presenter’s voice is
reproduced loud and clear in real time.
Simultaneous Message Display
(
Visual PA
)
Using a control room computer equipped with projector-control software,
administrators can simultaneously send messages (up to 390 characters
long) in real-time to projectors connected to the LAN. Ideal for broadcast-
ing important information to multiple rooms in the school or building.

Using “PtG Converter”, PowerPoint files can be converted into a special
format and saved on a USB storage device. When the USB device is
connected to the projector, users can replay slideshows or animation effects
using only the projector.
Note: The types of slideshows and animation effects that can be replayed are limited.
JPEG files saved on a USB storage device can be projected in slideshow style.
Note: Only compatible with JPEG files.

When the projector is in stand-by mode, its 10W speaker can still be used.
Additionally, while in stand-by mode, an external speaker can be used by
connecting it via the Audio Out terminal.

In addition, audio can be output when the projector is
in stand-by mode, using the projector as an amplifier.

Ultra Quiet 28dB Operation
Fan noise during projector operation can be distracting during a presenta-
tion or videoconference. The WD380U-EST and XD360U-EST projectors
operate at a significantly low noise
level of only 28dB (i.e., in “low
lamp” mode). As a result, presenta-
tions and conferences can be held
without distracting projector noise
in the background.

USB Display/LAN Display
USB
To use the projector to reproduce images from a computer, a VGA cable,
USB cable, LAN cable or commercially available wireless dongle can be
used. For displaying images via a LAN, up to four computers can be
connected to one projector. The projection screen can be divided into
quarters, reproducing all computer screens simultaneously.
Remote Desktop
When using the LAN Display function, a USB mouse or USB keyboard can
be connected to the projector enabling direct access to a computer
utilizing the Internet or other application.
Notes:
1) Only one optional USB Type-A port from a computer can be directly connected to a
projector. Multiple connections using a USB hub is not possible.
2) For displaying images via a LAN, network settings are required.
3) Not all USB dongles are compatible.
6000-hour Long-life Lamp (max. use set to Low mode)
Manufacturing Products that Minimize Environmental Impact
A longer service life for the projection lamp has been achieved by
incorporating an optimal design for lamp temperature control. Benefits
include substantial reductions in projector operating cost and the labor
required for changing the lamp.

Conventional projectors have the problems of needing to be
placed back far from the screen to project large images, thereby
requiring a large room, and someone always seems to get in the
projection path, interrupting the view.
Mitsubishi Electric’s WD380U-EST and XD360U-EST mobile
projectors are equipped with a specially craed lens that provides
superior short-throw-focus performance. Even in classrooms
and meeting rooms with limited space, large-screen visual
communication free of interference is now possible.
Lamp life specification is an estimate based on verification under proper conditions and is not the duration of the warranty.
Lamp will shut-off automatically when usage reaches the specified estimated maximum lamp hours.
Service life may vary widely depending on usage and operating environment and conditions, as well as users’ adherence
to the maintenance and cleaning procedures provided in the user manual.

*Units not equipped with mirrors
Utilizing a large-diameter lens and optimal optical
engine design, the shortest focal distance (throw
ratio: 0.375) in the industry has been achieved.
Even if the teacher or presenter must move in front
of the projected image, they are neither blinded
nor disturbed by projector light, enabling them to
maintain eye contact with the audience at all times.
The high 2800lm luminance
(2500lm for XGA models) helps to
ensure presentation images are
clearly seen without lowering the
light in the room.

chip line-up. Stray-light
processing has been optimized for the optical system, achieving a high
contrast of 3000:1. This makes it possible to reproduce sharp, vivid images
in which sentences and other characters can be easily read.

Stand-by Wattage under 0.5W*
Stand-by (low) mode power consumption is less than 0.5W, offering
increased energy savings and further contributing to environmental
preservation.
*Time preset by user
If no image signal is output for a predetermined period of time*, power
is automatically turned off, realizing energy savings by reducing needless
power consumption.
