The Premiere 8K, the company’s flagship projector, has received the 8K Association (8KA) certification for 8K projectors after meeting its parameters for immersive viewing.
The certification programme, recently introduced by the 8KA global consortium of companies including Google and Panasonic, evaluates the following standards: resolution (7680 x 4320), brightness, contrast, colour gamut, high dynamic range (HDR), 8K upscaling and more.

“We are committed to expanding the 8K ecosystem by continuously and extensively integrating new technologies.”
The projector boasts 4,500 ISO Lumens of brightness and Sound-on-Screen technology that integrates the top speaker module with software algorithms.
