Key Features of the BenQ AH500ST Golf Simulator Projector

Short Throw Lens
AH500ST features 0.499 short throw ratio, making it perfect for user in a limited space
to enjoy a large, immersive screen experience. With a 0.499 throw ratio, you can project
on an 8-foot-tall impact screen from just 7 feet away without creating shadows or
making the space feel cramped. This ensures an optimal viewing experience without
interference for the golfer.

Special Offset for Golf Simulators to help DYI installers.
Many short-throw projectors come with a “offset” that helps place the final picture in
the right place in a room. The BenQ AH500ST 112 degree offset enough to help the
image reach the floor, but gentle enough to avoid being blocked by the enclosure.
This minimizes the need for tilting the projector and helps solve one of the most
perplexing challenges to first-time projector installers.

Quick Focus
The AH500ST is equipped with an integrated IR camera and electric focusing lens.
Pressing the quick focus button on the remote control will activate the camera and use
AI image processing to perform preliminary focusing. If needed, the left and right keys
on the remote control can be used to continue fine-tuning the focus. This eliminates
having to climb a ladder and manually adjust the focus after the projector with a manual
lens on a ceiling mount.
Screen Fill Technology to support multiple enclosure aspect ratios
The BenQ AH500ST can easily adapt to various screen sizes and aspect ratios while
maintaining an undistorted picture. Only about 25% of golfers use 16:9 enclosures so
Screen Fill will do the hard work of adjusting the projector resolution for your screen.
You can use this for popular 4 by 3 screens, as well as 1:1 and 16:10 aspect ratio impact
screens. For the AH500ST, simply press the Screen fill shortcut key on the remote control
and select the closest ratio in the options. Then, the projector and computer share the
configuration data, enabling a non-distorted image on your screen.

Intuitive Remote Control Designed for Golfers
AH500ST also comes with a specially designed remote control for golf enthusiasts,
featuring quick access buttons for the most frequently used screen adjustments right at
the top. This eliminates the need to navigate through the OSD menu, providing a
seamless and user-friendly experience. From the projector to the remote, AH500ST is
crafted to deliver a fully integrated, one-click installation experience.

Digital correction tools

Quick Focus Screen Fill Zoom

The BenQ projector also has several built-in correction tools to enable a DYI installer
to adjust the picture to properly fill the screen without moving the mount.
Digital Lens Shift & Digital Shrink – If the projector is installed too far back, you can shrink
the image on the screen to an appropriate size and adjust the picture to an appropriate
position on the impact screen by digital lens shift.
2D Keystone – If the projector needs to be tilted, the 2D Keystone can correct the image
on the screen so it looks right.
Corner Fit – A larger range of four-corner adjustment allows users to complete the
adjustment of the projector to fit the projection screen more quickly and flexibly. Only
by using the remote control to drag the four corners of the projector image to coincide
with the four corners of the projection screen can the full-frame projection onto the
screen be completed.

Maintenance Free Design
The BenQ AH500ST is a laser light source projector that is rated at 20,000 hours at full brightness so it never will need a new bulb. The BenQ AH500ST is also unique in that it is one of the few laser projectors sold that don’t require filter maintenance. The light engine is completely sealed and certified as dust proof using the IP5X industry standard test. A true “set it and forget it” projector.

High Resolution
Golf simulators come in different shapes. Some golfers need a square type of screen to fit in a tight space like a garage, while others may want a wide format for a more immersive
experience – and to watch live golf or movies. The BenQ projector comes with native 1080p resolution that generates over 2 million pixels. With the screen fill feature, the projector still delivers an undistorted image with high pixel density in any standard aspect ratio.
