LIGHT OUTPUT
2500
The color light output spec measures the brightness of red, green, and blue, which create all the possible spectrum 
of colors. Smooth, seamless colors combined with an 
unparalleled grayscale range delivers incredible detail to 
every image displayed by a Hitachi 3LCD projector.
2,500 lumens of white light output in conjunction with equal 
color light output project bright, clear, true to life images in 
any classroom or conference room.
360 Advantages: CP-AW251N
Featuring an ultra short throw lens which will project 
a 80" image at 20" from edge of projector. This not 
only prevents shadows caused by obstructions but 
also means no shadows and no light shining in the 
presenter’s eyes.
Perfect Fit 2 enables the user to adjust individual corners and sides independent of one another. Perfect 
Fit 2 provides vertical and horizontal digital correction 
of either barrel or pin cushion distortions. This feature 
helps correct geometric and complicated distortions. 
Perfect Fit 2 allows the projected image to fit correctly 
to the screen quickly and easily.
