ABOUT EPSON S PROJECTOR ABOUT EPSON S PROJECTOR TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY 3LCD A CLEAR DIFFERENCE As the number one projector manufacturer in Europe1, Epson leads the market in the development of projector technology. Epson projectors use a 3LCD projection engine to deliver bright, clear images that are rich in detail and colour. Epson s 3LCD system works differently, using a combination of dichroic mirrors to separate the white light from the projector lamp into red, green and blue light. Each of the three light colours is then passed through its own LCD panel and recombined using a prism before being projected onto the screen. Many of Epson s competitors use 1-chip DLP 2 projector systems, which create thousands of pulses of coloured light per second. They do this by shining lamp light through red, green, blue and white3 parts of a rotating colour wheel. These light pulses are then reflected by a DMD 4 device, which is on a hinge and has a tiny mirror for each pixel of the image. The series of rapid colour bursts is then projected onto the screen. The viewer s brain can t pick out the individual flickers - it mixes the basic colours that appear in succession in each pixel to come up with the final colour the viewer sees. With 1-chip DLP technology, colour break-up or the rainbow effect can sometimes be seen. This occurs when the eye perceives the individual colours, and is a result of the colours being projected sequentially by the colour wheel. Epson s 3LCD technology avoids this by including all three basic colours in each pixel of the projection, delivering superior Colour Light Output that s easier on the eyes. 3LCD technology is used in every Epson projector, giving outstanding results for home cinema, classroom teaching, digital signage and business presentations. WITHOUT WITH 3LCD technology provides superb image quality with smooth and natural colour reproduction.
ABOUT EPSON S PROJECTOR TECHNOLOGY ABOUT EPSON S PROJECTOR TECHNOLOGY E-TORL TOTAL CONVENIENCE MORE POWER USING LESS ENERGY Epson E-TORL lamps deliver exceptional brightness while using less energy. They do this by using a unique configuration of reflectors to capture light that is usually lost with other manufacturers lamps. This improved efficiency means that Epson E-TORL lamps are better for both budgets and the environment. EasyMP Epson EasyMP is a suite of projector features designed to make life easier. EasyMP Monitor allows a fleet of up to 1,092 projectors to be monitored and maintained from a single point on a wireless or local network. Saving time and hassle, EasyMP Monitor uses a web browser to generate email alerts on temperature, air filter and lamp status. This keeps projector technicians informed of any problems or potential issues and removes the need for physical checks. The system can even send a lamp-life warning message to the person responsible for purchasing lamps. EasyMP Monitor can help save energy and lamp life by allowing projectors to be remotely switched on and off at preprogrammed times. EasyMP Network Presentation enables up to four projectors to be connected to one PC via a wired or wireless connection.
