Vivitek DK8500Z-BK – UHD 4K 7,500 Lumen Laser Large Venue Projector
Product Overview
The Vivitek DK8500Z-BK is a single-chip UHD (3840 x 2160) laser projector delivering 7,500 ANSI lumens for large venue, museum, and professional commercial installation environments. Using DLP technology with a 20,000+ hour laser-phosphor light source, the DK8500Z-BK supports eight interchangeable motorized lenses, built-in edge blending and warping, HDBaseT, 3G-SDI, and 360° installation — providing AV integrators with a complete 4K large venue platform in a body-only configuration.
Product Description
The DK8500Z-BK delivers UHD 4K (3840 x 2160) resolution at 7,500 ANSI lumens through DLP DarkChip3 and BrilliantColor technologies, providing high-detail imagery for corporate presentation environments, museum exhibits, and large-format commercial displays where 4K resolution and extended throw capability are required. The 16:9 aspect ratio native format is well suited for video-primary content in large venue applications.
The sealed laser-phosphor optical engine provides 20,000+ hours of maintenance-free operation, eliminating lamp replacement in permanent commercial installations. Eight optional D88 series motorized lenses cover throw ratios from 0.38:1 to 8.26:1 with motorized electronic H/V lens shift and Lens Position Memory for repeatable installation recall. Built-in hardware edge blending and warping enable multi-projector array configurations without external blend processors. Connectivity for AV system integration includes HDMI 2.0 ×2, DisplayPort, DVI-D, HDBaseT (RJ45), 3G-SDI in/out, RS-232 in/out, and 12V trigger outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the DK8500Z-BK include a lens?
No. The projector ships body-only. Eight D88 series compatible motorized lenses are available separately at creationnetworks.net/collections/vivitek.
How does the single-chip 4K DLP approach compare to 3-chip 4K projectors for large venue use?
Single-chip DLP systems using Texas Instruments' XPR pixel-shifting technology deliver 3840 x 2160 resolution in a significantly more compact and lighter chassis than 3-chip systems, reducing installation complexity and cost in large venue commercial deployments.
Can the DK8500Z-BK be used in multi-projector edge-blended configurations?
Yes. Built-in hardware edge blending and warping support multi-projector display arrays without external processing hardware requirements.
What AV control interfaces are supported?
The DK8500Z-BK supports RS-232 (DB-9), LAN/HDBaseT (RJ45), and Wired Remote for integration with commercial AV control systems including Crestron, AMX, and Extron platforms.
