Choose the right meeting room short throw projector by screen width, available projection distance, room lighting, presentation content and native resolution. SMX provides 4800–7500 lumen 3LCD laser short throw platforms for business, conference and professional collaboration spaces.
Conference tables, presenters and room circulation often reduce the available projector placement area. Short throw optics allow a large presentation image from a shorter lens-to-screen distance, helping keep the projection path closer to the front of the room.
Useful when conference tables or walkways limit traditional projector placement.
Can reduce the chance of presenters crossing the projected light path.
Create larger presentation images where a flat-panel display may be too small.
Suitable for ceiling-mounted and integrated corporate AV environments.
Start with the horizontal image width and the actual lens-to-screen distance available in the room. These two measurements determine the optical platform that can physically fit.
| Image Width | 0.44:1 | 0.48:1 | 0.68–0.82:1 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5 m | 1.10 m | 1.20 m | 1.70–2.05 m |
| 3.0 m | 1.32 m | 1.44 m | 2.04–2.46 m |
| 4.0 m | 1.76 m | 1.92 m | 2.72–3.28 m |
Business spaces frequently keep room lighting on during presentations. Required brightness therefore depends on image size, daylight, ceiling lighting, screen surface and whether the content is mainly text, spreadsheets or video.
Strong starting point for standard corporate presentations and controlled-to-moderate ambient light.
Useful when screen size increases or room lighting remains relatively strong.
Consider for larger images, deeper rooms and higher ambient-light requirements.
Higher brightness headroom for demanding corporate training and presentation environments.
Meeting-room content often includes small text, spreadsheets, dashboards, charts and multi-window presentations. Native resolution therefore deserves more attention than it does in simple video-display applications.
Practical for standard PowerPoint, general training content and basic corporate presentations.
MX-ST4800W / MX-SL6000WPreferred when presentations include spreadsheets, small fonts, detailed charts, technical drawings or multiple information panels.
4800U / 6000U / 7000U / 7500UBoth can work well in business spaces, but they solve different installation problems. The correct choice depends on mounting position, screen size, table layout, presenter movement and available space near the display wall.
Suitable when there is some ceiling or front-room installation depth and the project needs broader brightness and optical options.
Useful where projector depth is extremely limited or where the projector must remain close to the presentation wall.
Start here for compact business presentation spaces. Choose WXGA 0.48:1 or WUXGA 0.44:1 according to content detail and installation depth.
Strong option when the room needs additional brightness while maintaining 0.44:1 short throw geometry.
Evaluate when larger images, greater brightness and additional optical positioning flexibility are required.
For most conventional meeting-room installations, the 4800 and 6000 lumen platforms should be evaluated first. The 7000 and 7500 lumen series becomes more relevant as image size, room depth and installation requirements increase.
| Model | Brightness | Resolution | Throw Ratio | Meeting Room Positioning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MX-ST4800W | 4800 lm | WXGA | 0.48:1 | Standard meeting / training room |
| MX-ST4800U | 4800 lm | WUXGA | 0.44:1 | Detailed business content / compact room |
| MX-SL6000W | 6000 lm | WXGA | 0.44:1 | Bright conference / training room |
| MX-SL6000U | 6000 lm | WUXGA | 0.44:1 | Professional business / detailed presentations |
| MX-SL7000U | 7000 lm | WUXGA | 0.68–0.82:1 | Large boardroom / training environment |
| MX-SL7500U | 7500 lm | WUXGA | 0.68–0.82:1 | Large professional meeting / training spaces |
Yes, especially where conference tables, presenters or room depth make a long projection path inconvenient.
It can be a strong starting point for small and medium meeting rooms, but the required brightness depends on screen size and ambient light.
WUXGA is generally preferable when displaying detailed spreadsheets, small text and technical content. WXGA remains practical for standard presentations.
No. UST is useful when projection depth is extremely limited, while conventional short throw platforms can offer broader brightness and optical installation choices.
For conventional meeting rooms, start by checking the 4800W, 4800U, 6000W and 6000U against your image width and available projection distance.
SMX supports distributors, AV integrators, corporate projects and private-label customers with projector selection, optical planning and volume supply for meeting-room applications.
Send SMX your screen size, available projector distance, room lighting and business content requirements. We can help compare suitable 4800, 6000, 7000 and 7500 lumen platforms.
