An amenable workhorse in the classroom, the Hitachi BZ-1M Ultimate Interactive Short Throw Projector will increase your effectiveness as an educator, while expanding your reach into tighter and brighter spaces. The BZ-1M is an ultra short throw projector, specially tuned to support widescreen formats. Choosing between auto, standard TV and widescreen aspect ratios is a luxury for both entertainment and educational purposes. For teachers, the BZ-1M eliminates the shadows they've been casting across projection screens for years, as well as reducing distracting ambient light.
The interactive pen lets you select three mode variations. The normal pen mode is best for annotations and freehand, Intelli-pen mode is best for writing notes and drawing shapes, and pointer pen mode works the same as a laser pointer.
A great training tool on its own, the BZ-1M is even more productive when run through a network. From one central computer, you can schedule multiple presentations, send e-mail alerts and even monitor the lamp status. The interactive software allows you write directly onto Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Collaboration becomes easy and work becomes more efficient, with more done in less time.

Enhanced Flexibility
The compact, lightweight chassis makes the BZ-1M easy to install and flexible to
use. With the bundled wall mount and optional table top kit you can transform any existing whiteboard, wall or table top into an interactive surface
Write Directly On Projected Images
You can write letters or draw figures directly onto the content projected with the interactive pen and of course use it to erase what you have added. By enabling audience members to write on the images, they can join directly into the presentation. Rather than one-sided presentations by a presenter, you can now have truly interactive presentations
Copy, Capture and Select Full or Part of An Image
Images are clear, bright and vivid, even in bright classrooms. You can save screen content at any time. In addition to full screen capture, you can also select partial and freehand
capture, allowing you to preserve key content for later use
Compatible with Microsoft Office Programs
The interactive software allows you write directly onto Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files. Collaboration becomes easy and work becomes more efficient, with more done in less time
Traditional Presentation
With traditional presentation methods it's often difficult for the presenter to share ideas and comments raised after the presentation has taken place
Interactive Presentation
With the integrated write, save and send functionality, it's quick and convenient to present ideas, gather contributions and share notes with your colleagues following a meeting.
Saving time and improving work efficiency
Network Capabilities
The BZ-1M offers flexible networking. Administrators can schedule a variety of actions for multiple projectors on the network, including automatic power on/off and centralized reporting. The clever messenger function also allows messages to be sent to multiple
projectors instantly or at a specified time, handy for displaying announcements and emergency messages. To make meetings more effective, the multi PC presentation mode lets you display the contents of up to four computers on screen simultaneously
Ultimate Short Throw Technology
Short throw projectors make installation simple, even in crowded and compact rooms. As well as the convenience of the short throw format it delivers outstanding picture clarity.
With conventional technology, extremely short throw often results in distortion and poor image quality. Hitachi's ultimate short throw projectors achieve optimum image quality, with eight point adjustment that includes all four corners and sides, allowing distortions to be eliminated, even on imperfect walls - ensuring your projector can go to work anywhere
