Introduction

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

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

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

Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

There are two methods of correcting distortion in projected images as below.

Adjusting the Projected Image

• Quick Corner This allows you to manually correct each of the four corners of the projected image separately. We recommend using Quick Corner to accurately adjust keystone distortion.

• H/V-Keystone This allows you to manually correct distortion in the horizontal and vertical directions independently. You can perform easy H/V-Keystone

corrections by using the [ on the projector's control panel.

Quick Corner and horizontal and vertical keystone cannot be performed at the same time. When the Keystone correction method is selected from the Configuration menu, the correction method you choose is assigned to the

control panel [

Adjusting the Projected Image

• Correcting horizontal keystone Horizontal keystone can be corrected to a horizontal projector tilt of up to 20˚.

Shift the lens to the position shown below when performing horizontal and vertical keystone. When the lens shift is not positioned as below, the distortion is not corrected accurately. s "Adjusting the Position of the Projected Image (Lens Shift)" p.22

• The horizontal lens shift is set to the center.

• The vertical lens shift is set to the top or bottom.

The correction may not be properly performed according to the zoom adjustment value. And, the projected screen size may become smaller after performing the correction. Be careful about the projection distance when installing the projector.

Correct the image using Quick Corner to precisely align the projected image with the screen or to fine-tune the image. s "Quick Corner"

p.23

If the [</ ] and [>/ ] buttons are pressed simultaneously for at least 1 second, the value of horizontal keystone will return to the original status.

Changing the Projected Image

You can change the projected image in the following two ways.

• Changing by Source Search The projector automatically detects signals being input from connected equipment, and the image being input from the input port is projected.

• Changing directly to the target image You can use the remote control buttons to change to the target input port.

Automatically Detect Input Signal and Change the Projected Image (Source Search)

You can project the target images quickly by pressing the [Source Search] button because it will switch only to images from input ports to which image signals are being input.

Procedure

When your video equipment is connected, start playback before beginning this operation. When two or more pieces of equipment are connected, press the [Source Search] button until the target image is projected.

When the [Source Search] button is pressed, a search is made for input ports to which video signals are being input in the following order. (The input port where no image signal is being input is skipped.)

Using the Remote Control Using the Control panel

Changing the Projected Image

When switching to LAN, images from computers connected through the network are projected. (EB-G5950/G5650W only)

The following screen showing the status of image signals remains

displayed when only the image that the projector is currently displaying is available, or when no image signal can be found. You can select the input port where the equipment you want to use is connected. If no operation is performed after about 10 seconds, the screen closes.
