Basic functions

3LCD Technology

All Epson projectors are based on 3-chip LCD technology for amazing colour, incredible detail and solid reliability. 3LCD’s 3-chip architecture dedicates an entire chip to process each primary colour – red, green and blue, continuously. Unlike single-chip technology that delivers colour sequentially, you get full-time colour. The result is vibrant, realistic images and video all delivered with 3LCD’s true-to-life colour.

Up to 3x Brighter with Epson Projectors*

Epson projectors use 3LCD Engines that have no colour wheel with a white segment and therefore don’t force a tradeoff between white and colour brightness.

In fact, Epson projectors have up to 3x Brighter Colours than their leading competitive 1-chip DLP projectors*. If you are looking for business and education projectors or 720p home entertainment projectors, know that choosing Epson projectors means up to 3x brighter colours. If you are looking for 1080p home entertainment projectors, you consistently get 2x and up to 3x Brighter Colours than competitor 1-chip DLP projectors*.

All Epson projectors list both White Brightness and Colour Brightness specifications, and all have high Colour Brightness.

* Compared to leading 1-chip DLP business and education projectors based on NPD data, July 2011 through June 2012. Colour brightness (colour light output) measured in accordance with IDMS 15.4. Colour brightness will vary depending on usage conditions.

Brighter Images

With brightness up to 3,500 lumens, the screen is easily viewed from anywhere in the classroom, even without dimming the lights.

Epson iProjection™ via optional wireless dongle

Epson iProjection is the wireless display solution for today’s BYOD classrooms. With true multi-platform support, students can wirelessly display content from Chromebooks, PCs and Mac^® computers, as well as iOS and Android devices.

When used in conjunction with Epson Multi-PC projection plus Moderator device management software⁴, up to 50 users can connect to the projector simultaneously, displaying content from as many as four at a time. It’s the perfect tool for displaying a variety of content — or for comparing students’ work side by side.

Networking features that take teaching to the next level

• Manage up to 1,024 Epson networked displays using the included EasyMP^®Monitor software or Crestron RoomView^® — saves time and money
• Update display firmware in-house via the network, a USB cable, or a USB flash drive — eliminates the need for external service centre repairs; saves time and money
