Easy Upgrade and Installation
The SP8602 is an ideal upgrade from 480p, 720p or older generation 1080p projectors. To make installation and perfect projection easier, the unit also offers:
· Centred lens with manual lens shifts (+5%/-30% vertical and +/- 15% horizontal) that can beam an image of up to 300 inches from anywhere in the room
· Automatic ceiling detection that will flip the image when necessary
· Image warping to adjust the picture and produce crisp, square images on imperfect surfaces
“In addition to offering breath-taking digital images, the SP8602 comes with a lot of functionality and flexibility options,” said Guido Baccarelli, President of Audiogamma Spa, Italy, “For our customers who want to upgrade to 1080p, we love that the SP8602 allows them to replace any prior InFocus home theatre projector without moving the mounting location.”
Choose Your Colour
The SP8602’s outer design offers users the option of interchangeable “skins” to match theatre or living room décor. The skins allow users to choose from matte black, matte white, glossy black, walnut or preprimed for custom finishes. An integrated cable management system eliminates the unsightly mess of cables for an elegant installation. The SP8602 also uses the latest in high-definition connectivity, providing a complete suite of analog and digital connectivity, including two HDMI 1.3 ports for convenience.
