Vivitek DW884ST – WXGA 3,600 Lumen Short-Throw DLP Projector (White)

Product Overview

The Vivitek DW884ST is a WXGA short-throw DLP projector delivering 3,600 ANSI lumens with a 0.521:1 throw ratio for reduced shadow and presenter glare in space-limited rooms. With three HDMI inputs including MHL support, a 15,000:1 contrast ratio, and Crestron-certified LAN control, the DW884ST is a high-connectivity solution for education and corporate short-throw installations. A sealed optical engine and lamp life up to 7,000 hours in Dynamic Eco mode support low-maintenance deployments in high-use environments.

Product Description

The DW884ST uses DLP and BrilliantColor technology with a 6-segment color wheel to produce accurate color reproduction rated for intensive use at 12 hours per day without image yellowing or discoloration over time. Native WXGA (1280×800) resolution with compatibility up to WUXGA (1920×1200) handles a wide range of source resolutions from standard laptop outputs to higher-resolution document cameras.

Three HDMI 1.4 inputs with MHL support provide connection flexibility for classroom and corporate environments with multiple source devices. A USB-A port (power-only) supports HDMI wireless collaboration devices. The LAN interface with Crestron RoomView, AMX SSDP, and Extron support enables centralized network management in enterprise AV deployments. Built-in 20W stereo audio (2×10W) with multiple audio input and output ports delivers basic room audio coverage without external amplification. Full HD 3D support via DLP Link adds compatibility for 3D educational content. ±40° vertical keystone correction accommodates varied mounting heights, and the sealed optical engine eliminates filter maintenance requirements.
