Introduction

This chapter explains the projector's features and the part names.

Page 8

Projector Features

Ease of Use when Installed on a Ceiling Mount

Centered lens

The lens is positioned in the center of the projector so it is well balanced and is easy to mount on a ceiling. This also makes it easy to line up the screen and the projector.

Equipped with a horizontal and vertical lens shift

Using the lens shift function that allows you to adjust the position of the projected image along the horizontal and vertical axis opens up a wide variety of installation locations.

p.22

Five optional lenses are provided

You can select the best lens according to the projection distance and purpose. The bayonet type allows you to simply and easily exchange and install the optional lenses. s p.141, p.147

A design that harmonizes with the surrounding environment, and makes the installation easy

The projector's sophisticated design has a cable cover in which cables are hidden for a clean exterior appearance.

Easy maintenance

You can replace the lamp by opening the cover on the side of the projector and pulling it out horizontally.

You can also replace the air filter by simply sliding it out of or into the front of the projector.

Meets a Wide Range of Needs

Project two images simultaneously (Split Screen)

You can simultaneously project the images from two video sources lined up on the screen. This increases the range of applications, such as when holding a video conference while projecting presentation materials. s p.34

The split screen function is supported by EB-G5950/G5900/G5650W/G5600.

Clearly reproduce medical images

A color mode called "DICOM SIM" is provided to project medical images, such as X-ray photographs. This mode produces image quality that approaches the standard. (The projector is not a medical device and cannot be used for medical diagnosis.) s p.33

Precise color adjustments

As well as Color Mode, you can also adjust the image's absolute color temperature and the strength of each RGB color. Also, because you can adjust the hue, saturation, and brightness of each RGBCMY, the image can be projected with depth and a color matching in superior detail.

DICOM

Reliability You can Depend on

A large static electricity filter is used in the air intake system. This reduces the amount of dust that enters the projector to prevent shutdown caused by temperature increases even when the projector is permanently mounted to a ceiling.

Enhanced Security Functions

Password Protect to restrict and manage users

Page 9

Projector Features

By setting a password you can restrict who can use the projector. s p.49

Control Panel lock restricts button operation on the control panel.

You can use this to prevent people changing projector settings without permission at events, in schools, and so on. s p.51

Equipped with various anti-theft devices

The projector is equipped with the following types of anti-theft security devices. s p.52

• Security slot

• Security cable installation point

• Screw to fix the lens unit removal button

Easy to Handle

Direct power On/Off

In places where power is managed centrally, such as in a conference room, the projector can be set to power on and off automatically when the power source to which the projector is connected is switched on or off.

Taking Full Advantage of a Network Connection (EB-G5950/G5650W only)

Simultaneously project four images for dynamic conferences

By using the supplied EasyMP Multi PC Projection applications software, the images from up to four computers that are connected to the network can be simultaneously displayed. Anyone can freely and easily project images from connected computers to make conferences and meetings more lively. s EasyMP MultiPC Projection Operation

Guide

Transferring images and audio using the network

The supplied EasyMP Network Projection applications software can be used to connect to network computers and transfer video, audio, and movies. Using a variety of transfer functions increases presentation possibilities. s EasyMP Network Projection

Operation Guide

Project using "Connect to a Network Projector"

By connecting the projector to a network and using the Network Projector function in Windows Vista or Windows 7, multiple users on the network can share the projector.

p.124

No cool down delay

After turning the projector's power off, you can disconnect the projector's power cable without having to wait for the projector to cool down.

Monitoring and Control Functions

A selection of monitoring and control protocols is supported, such as the Epson EasyMP Monitor application software. This allows you to use the

projector according to your system environment. Controls" p.110

"Monitoring and

Quick wireless connections to easily connect to the network

Network computers can be easily connected to the projector simply by connecting an optional Quick Wireless Connection USB Key. (This function is supported only for Windows computers.) s p.147

Color Correction when Projecting from Multiple Projectors (Multi-screen Color Adjustment)

When multiple projectors are lined up and projecting images, you can manually correct the brightness and color tone of each projector's image so that the colors projected from each projector match closely.

Use the multi-screen color adjustment function when the Color Mode of each projector is set to the same item.

In some cases the brightness and color tone may not match completely even after correction.

Summary of Correction Procedure

When multiple projectors are set up and you need to make corrections, use the following procedure to correct one projector at a time.

1. Set the projector ID and the remote control ID. To limit operation to one target projector, set a Projector ID for the target projector,

and set the same ID for the remote control. s p.42

2. Correct the color difference. You can carry out color correction when projecting from multiple projectors. You

can adjust from black to white in five stages called levels 1 to 5, and in each of these 5 levels you can adjust the following two points.

Security Menu (Only available when the Wireless LAN unit is installed)

When the Wireless LAN unit is installed and being used in Advanced mode, it is strongly recommended that you set security.

Sub Menu Function

Security

You can select one type of security. When setting up security, follow the instructions from the administrator of the network system you are about to access. The following types of security are provided by the projector. WEP: Data is encrypted with a code key (WEP key) This mechanism prevents communication unless the encrypted keys for the access point and the projector match. WPA/WPA2: This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are multiple kinds of WPA

encryption methods, this projector uses "TKIP" and "AES". WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating

between a computer and an access point without a server. This projector supports the latter method, without a server. EAP: EAP is a protocol used for communication between clients and authentication severs. These are multiple protocols, such as EAP-TLS which uses

electronic certification for user authentication, LEAP which uses user name and password, and EAP-TTLS.

If using EAP, you need to make settings at the projector that match the authentication server settings. Check with your network administrator for details on RADIUS settings.

Encryption Key 1/Encryption Key 2/Encryption Key 3/ Encryption Key 4

You can set the input method for the WEP encrypted key. ASCII: Input text. The method of inputting the encrypted WEP with text differs depending on the access point. Check with the network administrator

for the network in which the projector participates, and then set to "ASCII". HEX: Input in hexadecimal.

Selects the WEP encryption ID key.

You can enter the key used for WEP encryption. Enter the key in single-byte characters following instructions from the network administrator for the network in which the projector participates. The type of character and the number that can be entered differ according to the WEP Encryption and Format settings.

If the number of characters you enter is shorter than the required character length, no character is encrypted. If the number of characters you enter is longer than the required character length, characters that exceed the permitted number are not encrypted.

128 Bit - ASCII: Single-byte alphanumerics, 13 characters. 64 Bit - ASCII: Single-byte alphanumerics, 5 characters. 128 Bit - HEX: 0 to 9 and A to F, 26 characters 64 Bit - HEX: 0 to 9 and A to F, 10 characters
