Powerful, high-brightness installation projectors from market leader

29 January2013 – Epson, worldwide leader in the projector market[1], announces two new installation projectors that deliver powerfully bright images and are packed full of innovative features. Ideal for rental markets and digital signage, the Epson EB-G6900WU and EB-G6800 both feature very high lumen counts and a HDBaseT input, and can project into corners and onto curved surfaces. These models are also compatible with the Epson EB-G5 series lenses[2] – ideal for businesses that want to upgrade their installation projectors.   The Epson EB-G6900WU features a WUXGA screen resolution, while the EB-G6800 projects images with an XGA screen resolution. Thesemodels also include HDBaseT, a state-of-the-art technology for the transfer of five signals, including uncompressed HD video, audio, power and control, at low costs over long distances of up to 100m using a standard cat5/6 cable.   Images aimed at a curved surface or the corner of a room are automatically adjusted, allowing users to project without distortion. In addition, the projector can be rotated vertically by 360 degrees so users can easily move the display around the room to suit their needs.   These projectors come with all the usual high-quality technical features that customers have come to expect from Epson. Detailed colours are faithfully reproduced with Epson’s 3LCD technology, while projections can be shown in a variety of ambient light levels, thanks to an equally high White and Colour Light Output.   Both models are easy to set up and use, thanks to a variety of user-friendly installation features, such as pixel alignment and colour uniformity. These features ensure that once the projectors are installed, users can concentrate on delivering their content rather than adjusting screen settings.   Graeme Davidson, business manager, Epson UK, says: “Both these professional installation projectors are ideal for rental markets, thanks to the bright, powerful projections and innovative features they boast. Edge blending, for example, means a large, widescreen image can be projected from a number of projectors and stitched together seamlessly.”   Graeme adds: “HDBaseT holds exciting potential for integrators and Epson is amongst the first wave of adopters in the projection market. By providing a dedicated connectivity interface including video, data and power over Ethernet that uses standard network cabling, it is expected to impact installations by reducing complexity, time and cost.”   The Epson EB-G6900WU and EB-G6800 are available from June 2013.
