Epson, the global projector maker, announced the launch of 5 new projectors targeted at the education and business segments. New short throw, interactive and 3D projectors were introduced, each with its own set of market-leading capabilities and features that are engineered to fulfill the needs of a diverse range of both educational and business users. Epson says there has been demand for a 3D projector from both business as well as education segments and has extended its fantastic and well received 3D technology to suit these environments. In addition with increasing adoption of short throw and interactive projectors for use in board rooms Epson has introduced affordable solutions which it says are ideal for business meetings and collaborative planning.
The Projectors launched are:
The EB-W16 and EB-W16SK: The Epson EB-W16 and EB-W16SK are the company’s first 3D projectors meant for education or business users, and offer them a choice of either active or passive 3D technologies, along with their related advantages. The EB-W16 is an active 3D model that offers an easier setup and lower hardware requirements to deliver a 3D experience, whereas the EB-W16SK is a passive 3D setup using two stacked projectors that offers brighter 3D images, and uses affordable, non-powered, polarised 3D glasses that do not need batteries.
The EB-W16 is better suited for users that need to set up a 3D projection system on a tighter budget for smaller audiences and darker rooms. The EB-W16SK is more ideal for larger venues as it presents brighter 3D images; and because of its more affordable 3D glasses, it is better for large audiences.
The new EB-400 series: The new EB-400 series short throw projectors are an upgrade of the existing EB-400 short throw projector series to integrated interactive capabilities. This projector offers users who want integrated interactive capabilities a more affordable solution as compared to Epson’s ultra-short throw models.
The EB-1400wi/1410wi: The Epson EB-1400wi (2600 lumens) /1410wi(3100 lumens) are the company’s first ultra-short throw projectors that are targeted for business users. Ideal for business meetings and collaborative planning, these new models offer very bright images that allow their images to be seen clearly even in the brightest environments, so users need not darken rooms to use them.
“We are the world’s and India’s largest projector brand, because we constantly improve and introduce new and useful technologies that give our projectors an edge over their competitors,” said Samba Moorthy, Director, Sales& Marketing at Epson India. “As you can see, the 3D and interactive projector models launched today set very high new standards in performance, innovation and functionality for a wide range of customers.”
All the new Epson projectors launched are designed for user convenience and are compliant with industry standards. The 3D models are able to support all 3D formats without the need for additional hardware, unlike “3D Ready” projectors that require a separate format converter to play content in 3D formats used by Blu-Ray players or 3D TV broadcasts. In addition, Epson’s new active 3D models use radio frequency based 3D glasses that comply with the new “Full HD 3D Glasses” industry standard.
