Epson announces Middle East launch of first passive 3D projector system for commercial use
February 2013 – Epson, world leader in the projector market for the past 11 years[1], has announced the Middle East launch of its first twin-stacked passive 3D projector system. Bringing a bright, affordable 3D experience to a range of audiences, this model is ideal for educational establishments, museums, exhibitions and the hospitality industry. The Epson EB-W16SK offers a low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), supports all current HDMI compatible 3D signal formats and ensures audiences of all sizes can enjoy bright, vivid 3D projection.
The Epson EB-W16SK projector system is made up of two individual projector units, stacked together in a specially-designed mount. The projectors are connected via USB, in a command and control setting, with the supplied polarising plates attached to each lens. With both projections overlaid, images are then electronically aligned using the automatic projector alignment setting and projected onto a silver screen, sold separately. This dramatically reduces set up time.
Image quality is assured with Epson’s 3LCD technology which faithfully reproduces a wide colour gamut to create natural, vibrant images; ideal for applications such as science lessons and art exhibitions. Both projectors feature an equally high White and Colour Light Output of 3,000 lumens for bright 3D images in a variety of ambient light settings.
Supporting all HDMI compatible 3D signal formats, the Epson EB-W16SK displays side-by-side, top-and-bottom and frame packed content. This means that users have the flexibility to display the widest range of 3D content available.
This projector system comes with one pair of polarised 3D glasses for bright three dimensional content and, thanks to their low costs, offer an affordable 3D experience with low TCO.
Khalil El-Dalu, General Manager, Epson Middle East, says: “This is Epson’s first ever twin-stacked passive 3D projection system and it has been designed to make sure that audiences of all sizes will be able to enjoy bright, vibrant 3D content. Using a combination of passive 3D technology and affordable glasses, the Epson EB-W16SK offers users in the Middle East a low TCO, and is ideal for environments where large groups want to enjoy 3D content.”
