Function Description
The BenQ TK710STi is a digital projector designed for home entertainment. It utilizes a laser and LED light source to project images, supporting a native resolution of 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD). The projector is capable of displaying both 2D and 3D content, with various picture modes optimized for different viewing environments and content types, such as Bright, Living Room, RPG, HDR-RPG, FPS, HDR-FPS, Cinema, 3D, HDR10, User, HDR-User, and HLG. It also features an integrated QS02 HDMI Media Streaming dongle, which provides Android TV functionality, allowing users to access streaming services, apps, and media files from a USB flash drive without needing an external computer.
The projector offers extensive image adjustment capabilities, including keystone correction (3D Keystone and 4 Point Adjustment) to compensate for angled projection, and fine-tuning of image size and clarity via zoom and focus rings. Audio output is handled by a built-in 5-watt speaker, with additional options for external audio systems via a 3.5mm audio output jack and HDMI Audio Return+ (eARC/ARC) for multi-audio outputs including 2.0, 5.1, 7.1, and Dolby Atmos.
For connectivity, the projector includes multiple HDMI input ports (HDMI-1, HDMI-2, HDMI-3 for the internal QS02 dongle), a USB-A port for power charging and media reading, and an RS-232 control port for integration into control systems. The projector can be installed in various positions: front, rear, front ceiling, and rear ceiling, with automatic adjustment of projection settings.
