Acer PL6510 - Compact laser projector with lens shiftThe Acer PL6510 offers a laser light source in a compact chassis. There is also a vertical lens shift function that makes it easier to install.

Laser light source

When it comes to light sources, the Acer PL6510 joins the ranks of Acer's laser projectors. Thanks to the long-lasting light source, which can last up to 30,000 hours, changing lamps is a thing of the past. While conventional projectors require several lamps in the specified time, this is not the case with the Acer laser projector. Thanks to the long-lasting laser light source, the Acer PL6510 is well positioned when it comes to maintenance.Another positive aspect is that thanks to this type of light source, installations can be realized that would not be possible with a conventional lamp projector. That's why the projector can be rotated vertically by 360 degrees.

Lens-Shift.

When it comes to positioning flexibility, the Acer PL6510 is well positioned thanks to its vertical lens shift function. It offers a vertical offset of around 15%. This is not the value you might know from home theater projectors, but it is enough to achieve good fine-tuning.If the lens shift is not enough, the Acer laser projector also has vertical and horizontal keystone correction. Both values ​​are +/- 30 degrees.

3D

The PL6510 may be primarily intended for business use, but like many DLP projectors it offers direct 3D capability. With it you can show 3D films from the Blu-ray player, which might allow you to spend one or two home cinema evenings at home with the projector. When it comes to 3D glasses technology, the projector uses DLP Link technology.

AC Power on

One feature that makes the Acer PL6510 interesting for use on time-controlled systems is its AC power on function. You can use it to switch on the projector as soon as power is available. This gives you the option of integrating it into a control system using time-based systems and starting it this way.

Specs

The DLP projector uses the 1920 x 1080 pixels of Full HD resolution in 16:9 format. Its light output is at a good level at 5500 lumens. Thanks to this light output, it can be used in many areas. In the Acer PL6510 test, the contrast of 2,000,000:1 was positive. This is thanks to the precise control of the pixels.
