This 4K projector features a periscopic arm that allows it to be installed virtually anywhere.
Easier to install and easier to hide.
Fujifilm has introduced a new ultra-short throw (UST) projector featuring a lens mounted on an articulated arm capable of pivoting and rotating. Unlike most UST projectors that require moving the entire unit to change the projection location, the FP-ZUH6000 model can alternate between projecting on walls, ceilings, and even floors, while being fixed in one place. This projector can be permanently installed in a variety of environments.
Although the company has not revealed the release date or pricing details for the FP-ZUH6000, this model is being showcased at the Integrated Systems Europe 2025 exhibition currently taking place in Barcelona, Spain. A similar projector launched by Fujifilm a few years ago, with a much lower resolution of 1920x1200, had a high price of $14,000. With the FP-ZUH6000, Fujifilm is offering for the first time a projector with this unique lens configuration, in addition to 6,000 lumens of brightness and a resolution of 3840x2160, suggesting that its price could be even higher.
This projector employs a pair of prisms to direct light towards an arm that can pivot up to 90 degrees and through a lens that rotates 360 degrees, similar to an optical submarine periscope or the zoom lens of a smartphone camera. Unlike most projectors that only allow minor image adjustments which can reduce resolution, the FP-ZUH6000 enables projection to be aimed in nearly any direction. Additionally, a lens shift feature makes it possible to adjust the image vertically or horizontally without needing to move the lens.
Since the lens extends beyond the body of the projector, the FP-ZUH6000 can be discreetly installed above a false ceiling, leaving only the lens visible. This feature, along with its design and price, is likely to make it more appealing for museums and venues where projector installations need to be out of reach of the public. It could also be a useful addition to a home theater, allowing the projector to be mostly hidden without the need for a dedicated projection room.
