Epson, the worldwide leader in the video-projector market for the past seven years[1], announces the launch of the EB-S6, EB-X6 and EB-W6, a family of affordable, high quality projectors offering up to 2200 lumen brightness. Extremely versatile, easy to use, feature rich, innovative and affordable, the EB-S6, X6 and W6 all offer exceptional brightness and contrast for corporations and educational institutions alike.
Albert Fayard, general manager, Epson SA says: “The EB-S6 and EB-X6 provide businesses and educational institutions with a super quality, highly affordable multi-purpose projector. And with 2009 being the year of widescreen, the WXGA enabled EB-W6 caters for the growing popularity of widescreen laptops. The projectors' easy portability and Epson's advanced 3LCD technology ensure brighter images and more accurate colour reproduction in a variety of locations.”
This family of multipurpose projectors puts versatility in the hands of the user. Their compact size and light weight allow easy mobility, with a convenient and stylish carry bag to transport the projector and accessories. Easy installation features also make it quick and easy to ceiling mount.
The EB-S6 and EB-X6 offer enhanced 2200 lumens and contrast ratios of 2000:1 for SVGA and XGA resolutions respectively. Automatic Keystone, available in the X6 and W6 models, also allows for automatic angle adjustment and range. The EB-W6's WXGA technology allows 30 per cent more screen space. All are perfect for whiteboard projection at 2000 lumens for interactive teaching.
Featuring Epson's 3LCD technology, the family of products do not compromise picture quality. Amazing colours and fabulous brightness ensure that all presentations are projected in crisp, clear definition.
The products incorporate an impressive collection of Epson innovations that enhance versatility, efficiency and ease of use. The quick start function reduces the warm up time to just five seconds, making this one of the quickest projector series on the market today. The Direct Power On / Off function, an exclusive feature to this entry segment, allows the user to simply connect or disconnect the power cable to switch the projector on or off. HDMI, USB and SD card compatibility make the EB-W6 ideal for multimedia presentation.
Epson's easy to use USB display technology allows for USB cable connection so presentations content can be projected instantly, without the need for any set up. No more complicated RGB cables are needed, just plug and play. The remote control also puts slideshow control and digital zoom capabilities right into the hand of the presenter. Any lighting environment is suitable with the 2000 plus lumens and E-TORL technology offering a superior high brightness with maximum energy efficiency. Power consumption is kept extremely low with E-TORL technology requiring a lamp of only 170 watts. All packaging is 100 per cent recyclable and contains no polystyrene to ensure that any impact to the environment is minimal.
