Fujifilm has announced a groundbreaking new ultra-short throw projector, the FP-ZUH6000, which boasts a rotating articulated lens that can pivot and rotate to display an image anywhere without moving the projector's position. This innovative design allows for unparalleled installation flexibility, making it an ideal solution for museums, public spaces, and even home theaters.

The FP-ZUH6000's lens is attached to an articulated arm that can pivot up to 90 degrees, and then through a lens that can rotate 360 degrees. This periscope-like design enables the projector to be installed in a fixed position, while still allowing the image to be projected in nearly any direction. Additionally, an additional lens shift function allows the image to be further adjusted vertically or horizontally without touching the lens.

This level of flexibility is unprecedented in the projector market, where most projectors require moving the entire unit to reposition the image. The FP-ZUH6000's design also allows it to be installed out of sight, such as above a hanging ceiling, with only the lens portion visible. This makes it an attractive solution for installations where the projector needs to be mounted out of reach of the public.

Fujifilm has not yet announced pricing or availability details for the FP-ZUH6000, but it is being introduced at the Integrated Systems Europe 2025 trade show in Barcelona, Spain. Given the projector's advanced features and high resolution (3840x2160), it is likely to come with a premium price tag. A similar projector released by Fujifilm a few years ago with a lower 1920x1200 resolution came with a steep $14,000 price tag.

The FP-ZUH6000's 6,000 lumens of brightness (although it's unclear if that's ANSI or ISO measurements) and high resolution make it well-suited for a variety of applications, from museums and public spaces to home theaters. Its unique design and flexibility will likely make it a popular choice for installations where space is limited or the projector needs to be mounted out of sight.

As the projector market continues to evolve, innovations like the FP-ZUH6000's periscope arm are pushing the boundaries of what is possible. With its unparalleled installation flexibility and high-quality image projection, the FP-ZUH6000 is poised to make a significant impact in the industry.

Stay tuned for further updates on the FP-ZUH6000's availability and pricing, as well as hands-on reviews and analysis of this revolutionary new projector.
