The home cinema market is set to expand at a rapid rate and the introduction of high-quality affordable projectors will largely influence this growth. The EPSONEMP-30 is an entry-level projector for the home and is also suited to the small office, home office and education markets. Joining the EMP-30 is the EMP-52, a brighter multimedia projector ideal for home and low-end business users.
The EMP-30 was built from the ground up with newly developed and designed LCD panels and other devices to provide flexible and convenient wide-screen viewing for any user. Simple, easy to use and offering outstanding cost-performance, this is truly a multi-purpose entertainment projector.
The EMP-30 is an SVGA projector offering 800 ANSI Lumens. Capable of focusing over short distances, the lens can faithfully project a 50-inch image from just 1.5 meters. Equipped with EPSON`s own digital zoom function, the EMP-30 lets one choose the screen size (up to 300-inches) with the best view for the space.
A new accessory included with the EMP-30 is a Cinema Filter to improve the colour reproduction. The black levels reduce by about 40% when using the cinema filter, and the black image becomes real black.
Features also include six Colour Mode settings, the modes are: theatre mode for DVD movies, natural mode for natural colour reproduction, game mode to create a vivid picture for TV or PC games, PC mode for the brightest image and sRGB, which produces the colours in accordance with the sRGB standard.
The ways in which the EMP-30 can be used are diverse:
* Turn down the lights for a satisfying 80-inch, high-quality big-screen movie experience.
* Project a 60-inch screen to feel all the power and excitement of sports that you miss on a TV.
* Play TV games with your friends on a 60-inch screen that makes you feel like part of the action.
* Sit around the living room with your family or on the road to enjoy videos and digital camera images on a full, 50-inch screen.
* Make big-screen PC presentations with ease in the classroom or conference room
