Epson Middle East has announced the launch of a new range of portable, high-quality projectors with enhanced connectivity and networking features. The projectors are ideal for use in meeting rooms and classrooms and can also be used as a high-quality, affordable option in the home office.

This new range of portable projectors (EB-S27, EB-X27, EB-W29, EB-98H, EB-945H, EB-955WH & EB-965H) are small and light enough to be carried between rooms. The models come with a carry bag to make moving and storage of the projector even easier.

The whole range uses 3LCD technology and an equally high White and Colour Light Output to deliver exceptional image quality and accurate colours. A 10,000:1 contrast ratio produces clearer image detail, while a number of different native resolutions mean the models suit a range of spaces.

Epson understands that being in control is important when presenting in a corporate or education environment. This new range comes with multi-PC projection software, which allows content from up to four devices, including PCs, tablets and smartphones, to be displayed simultaneously. The moderator function allows the host, whether it is the teacher, lecturer or presenter at a meeting, to take control of displayed content from the devices. A new A/V mute function allows the host to pause a presentation, and it also conserves power by dimming the lamp by 70% when in use. Once running, further costs can be saved thanks to the projectors’ long lamp life.

All the models have enhanced connectivity, giving choice and flexibility, however you intend to present. The range can connect to the latest digital devices or legacy analogue products, meaning older hardware doesn’t necessarily need to be replaced. Connecting smart devices couldn’t be easier with the iProjection QR code[1] connectivity - simply scan a projected QR code using your smart device to connect and start working. Smartphone content can also be projected onto a larger screen thanks to MHL support[2]. High-quality digital video and audio content can be projected via an HDMI input. For further flexibility, the range also comes with a wired LAN connection & optional Wi-Fi connectivity.

The range is quick and easy to set up with horizontal and vertical keystone correction, helping you achieve a perfectly shaped projected image without distortion, even when the projector is placed off-centre. You can also free up more workspace thanks to the projectors’ zoom function. A front exhaust means individuals can sit around the projector without being directly in the path of expelled hot air.
