Clear Projection Tailored to Your Space
Up to 8,000 lm1 for Stunning Visuals Under Lights
The VMZ82 Series’ high-efficiency optical engine delivers up to 8,000 lm1 brightness, ensuring clear, sharp, and vibrant visuals in well-lit spaces. Enhance viewer comfort and communication quality in meetings and classes without dimming the lights or pulling the blinds.
1 PT-VMZ82 only. Measured when [PICTURE MODE] is set to [DYNAMIC] and [LIGHT POWER] is set to [NORMAL]. Measurement, measuring conditions, and notation method comply with ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.
High 5,000,000:11 Dynamic Contrast
Input signals are analyzed frame by frame to regulate light output for best contrast performance in every scene. As well as accurately reproducing pictures that contain a mix of dark and bright hues, Dynamic Contrast is more energy efficient than other technologies and can be optimized to suit the content or the room’s lighting. The projector’s high 5,000,000:11 contrast ratio provides better detail definition in shadows with deeper blacks, brighter whites, and more natural skin tones for a better sense of depth and definition.
1 Full On/Full Off, when [PICTURE MODE] is set to [DYNAMIC] and [DYNAMIC CONTRAST] is set to [1]. Measurement, measuring conditions, and method of notation all comply with
ISO/IEC 21118: 2020 international standards. Value is the average of all products when shipped.
Optimized Visuals for Bright Spaces
Daylight View Basic uses a sensor to measure ambient light levels in your room and adjusts sharpness, halftone color, contrast, and brightness to optimize image visibility regardless of room illumination. The result is a clearer, more detailed image, even in challenging conditions.
Smooth, Crisp Details at WUXGA
WUXGA (1920 x 1200) LCD panels improve detail definition for a more comfortable and insightful experience. Text edges are smooth, sharp, and easy to read, even for those seated furthest from the screen.
Vivid Green Mode for Lifelike Sports Simulation
The VMZ82 Series introduces a new Vivid Green Mode that enhances green tones for brighter, more natural-looking images—ideal for golf and other sports simulations. By adjusting signal gain and optimizing color balance, this mode delivers deeper greens and brighter midtones for a more vivid and engaging viewing experience.
Supports Widescreen Video Content
Display widescreen content, such as 21:9 video conferencing layouts, at its original aspect ratio. Remote participants’ faces can be aligned at eye level with in-room attendees, improving communication and engagement during meetings or classes.
Note: Resolution may be reduced when projecting widescreen content at its native aspect ratio.
Quiet Operation for Hybrid Lessons and Meetings
The projector’s heat-resistant light source reduces operating noise, enhancing the clarity of conversations during in-person or hybrid lessons and meetings. In Quiet 2 Mode, operating noise is as low as 25 dB1—about as soft as the sound of rustling leaves.

Stylish Design Blends Into Your Room
Available in black or white, VMZ82 Series projectors feature a compact form that harmonizes unobtrusively into any environment. Whether installed in an office, classroom, or museum, the projector minimizes distractions, keeping the focus on your presentation.
Stress-Free Installation Flexibility
Installation Streamlined with 1.6x Zoom and Lens Shift
Maximize your screen area in rooms of any shape or size. The VMZ82 Series can project a 100-inch image from 2.35 m (7.71 ft) and delivers bright, vibrant visuals on screens up to 300 inches. Its 1.6x optical zoom (throw ratio: 1.09–1.77:1) offers flexibility in mounting, making it easier to work around ceiling obstructions or adjust the image to fit the screen from an existing mount. Combined with lens shift (V: +44%, H: ±20%), it supports off-axis and high mounting positions while maintaining accurate image geometry.
Digital Zoom Extender and Digital Image Shift
Digital Zoom Extender increases the projector’s throw distance beyond its optical zoom range, making it possible to reuse your existing ceiling mount or install the projector farther from the screen, saving construction work. Digital Image Shift allows the image to move up to 10% in any direction for off-axis or high-ceiling installations.
Quickly Find the Projection Angle with Angle Monitor
Aligning the projection angle with the design simulation can be challenging and usually requires two people. The VMZ82 Series features a built-in gyro sensor that detects changes in the projector’s pitch and roll angles, which are graphically displayed in the OSD menu. Installers can adjust the projection angle without needing assistance.
Upgraded Screen Adjustment with New GUI
The VMZ82 Series introduces an upgraded Screen Adjustment suite with an intuitive new Graphical User Interface (GUI). Designed to simplify setup in various spaces—including curved screens—the GUI streamlines adjustments via remote control without the need for a connected PC, making installation faster, easier, and more flexible than ever.
Precise Line Adjustment via Grid Function
Grid function enables correction of minor distortion by adjusting horizontal or vertical lines on a fixed 11 x 17 grid. Correction is easily performed via remote control.
Enhanced Curved Screen Correction
Curved Correction now allows each side of the image to be adjusted independently—unlike previous models, where opposite sides moved in tandem. This added flexibility supports more accurate correction on curved surfaces, ideal for sports simulators, museum exhibits, and corporate displays.
6-Point Screen Adjustment System for Corner Projection
For corner-based or column projections, the 6-Point Screen Adjustment system enables fine-tuned control over image geometry. It’s ideal for maximizing screen use in compact meeting spaces or creating striking visual installations in galleries and showrooms.
Independent 4-Corner Adjustment
Correct trapezoidal distortion from off-center or angled projector placement. 4-Corner Adjustment lets users independently control each image corner via remote control. Settings can be saved and reapplied, streamlining setup across multiple rooms or sessions.
Maintain Aspect Ratio for Natural Scaling
Maintain Aspect Ratio preserves the image’s proportions during adjustment, preventing warping or stretching. It ensures content looks natural while still allowing for edge-to-edge alignment, providing a clean, professional finish in any space.
Single-Cable 4K DIGITAL LINK Solution
4K DIGITAL LINK is a connection based on HDBaseT™ that supports long-distance video, audio, and
control-signal transmission via a single CAT 5e LAN cable, reducing installation complexity in schools, offices, and entertainment spaces.
Note: 4K input signals are converted to the projector’s resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels) upon projection. YPBPR 4:2:0 format only for 4K/30p input via DIGITAL LINK.
Accepts 4K Signals1 via HDMI™ and DIGITAL LINK
The VMZ82 Series accepts 4K1 video signals via DIGITAL LINK and HDMI™ terminals, simplifying projector integration into your existing infrastructure. This capability enables 4K1 signal transmission to display endpoints with varying screen resolutions, eliminating the need for external converters or content re-encoding.
1 4K input signals are converted to the projector’s resolution (1920 x 1200 pixels) upon projection. YPBPR 4:2:0 format only for 4K/30p signals input via DIGITAL LINK.
Supports Next-Generation Control Protocols
Dedicated LAN terminal and DIGITAL LINK connections support the latest protocols, including IPv6, Art-Net DMX, PJLink™ (Class 2), Crestron Connected® V2, Crestron® XiO Cloud, and Extron XTP®. The projector also includes an emulation function to ensure compatibility with legacy management software.
Note: The optional AJ-WM50 Series Wireless Module does not support IPv6.
Data Cloning Function via LAN or USB Memory Devices
It can be time-consuming to adjust the same settings on each projector in your fleet. To expedite this task, the VMZ82 Series features a data cloning function that allows main projector settings, including saved adjustment data, to be copied to sub-projectors via LAN or USB device.
CEC Command-Compatible1 HDMI™ Makes Life Easy
Both the projector’s HDMI™ inputs are compatible with CEC commands1, enabling use with fewer remote controllers. The projector will automatically switch on, play your content, and switch off when it detects these commands from a compatible source device.
