"With the continuous growth of the 20,000 lumen market, Epson's new EB-PU2220B and EB-PU2 120W will become the benchmark for the quality and flexibility of field activity installation," said Gavin Downey of Epson USA. "Compared with the previous generation, the size and weight are significantly reduced, and the new projector simplifies the setup without affecting the performance."
The company reported that two newly added six Pro series increased by 23 x 19.3 x 8.5 inches (586 x 492 x 2 18 mm) and 53.8 pounds (24.4 kg), which made them an attractive proposal for venue managers who lacked hardware space.
The new 3LCD projector has a sealed optical engine to prevent images from damaging dust, and projects a resolution image of WUXGA (1920 x 1200), with a maximum diagonal inch of 1000 and an aspect ratio of 16: 10. Using the pixel moving 4K enhancement technology, the contrast ratio of specific devices is 2000: 1 (although it is reported that the dynamic contrast ratio exceeds 2500000: 1), and they can provide 20000 lumens of color and white brightness.
The laser light source should be able to be used for up to 20,000 hours without maintenance, but it can be extended in ecological mode. Each unit is compatible with nine interchangeable Epson lenses, including an ultra-short focus lens with zero offset design to increase installation flexibility. You can also connect an optional camera to help stack projector settings, help edge fusion, screen matching, color calibration and so on.
The connection forms include USB, HDMI, VGA, DVI, Ethernet and optional Wi-Fi. The white EB-PU2 120W model is not equipped with mechanical shutter or SDI input/output, but the black EB-PU2220B is equipped with -3G-SDI input and output, which allows multiple units to be connected together in daisy chain and can be used by connecting long cables.
Other models include two 13000 lumen units and two 16000 lumen models. All new Pro series products will be launched in May, but like professional products, no pricing information will be disclosed.
In other interesting news from Epson, the company's lawsuit against Vava reached its climax in April last year, and the latter agreed to change the "6000 or 2500 lumens" claimed by its 4K ultra-short focus laser tv to 1800 lumens.
Epson measures the color and white brightness of its projectors according to the standards defined by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Committee for Display Metrology (ICDM), so that consumers can make wise choices.
