Introduction

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

Projector Features		8

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. s 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.

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.

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 DICOMg 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.

Enhanced Security Functions

Password Protect to restrict and manage users

Projector Features		9

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.

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. s "Monitoring and Controls" p.110

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. sEasyMP 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. s p.124

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		23

•Quick Corner

This allows you to manually correct each of the four corners of the projected image separately. s "Quick Corner" p.23

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 [w/], [v/], [</ ] and [>/ ] buttons on the projector's control panel. s "H/V-Keystone" p.25

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 [w/ ],	[v/	], [</ ] and [>/ ] buttons.	The	default
setting	for Keystone is	set to	H/V-Keystone, so when [w/	],	[v/ ],

[</ ] and [>/ ] buttons are pressed, H/V-Keystone correction is carried out.

Because Quick Corner and H/V-Keystone correction can be carried out while projecting a test pattern, you do not need to make preparations by connecting a computer or other equipment.

Quick Corner

Procedure

A Press the [Menu] button while the projector is projecting.

Select Settings menu - "Keystone" and then press the [Enter] button. s "Using the Configuration Menu" p.54

Using the Remote Control

Using the Control panel

B Select "Quick Corner", and then press the [Enter] button.

Press the [Enter] button again to display the selection screen from which you can select one of four corners.

Adjusting the Projected Image

C Use the [h] button on the remote control or the [w/], [v/ ], [</ ] and [>/ ] buttons on the control panel to select the corner you want to adjust, and then press the [Enter] button.

24

D Correct the position of the corner using the [h] button on the remote control, or the [w/], [v/], [</ ] and [>/ ] buttons on the control panel.

If the triangle in the direction you are adjusting the shape turns gray, as shown in the screenshot below, you cannot adjust the shape any further in that direction.

E Repeat procedures 3 and 4 as needed to adjust any remaining corners.

Adjusting the Projected Image

F When you are done, press the [Esc] button to exit the correction menu.

Because the correction method was changed to Quick Corner from Keystone in the configuration menu, when [w/], [v/ ], [</ ] and [>/ ] buttons are pressed later, the screen for selecting the corner in procedure 2 is displayed. Change Keystone from the configuration menu to H/V-Keystone if you want to correct H/V-

Keystone when pressing the [w/	], [v/	], [</	] and [>/ ]
buttons on the control panel. s p.59
If the [Esc] button is held down for about two seconds while
q correcting with Quick Corner, the	following	screen is	displayed.

Reset Quick Corner: Resets the result of Quick Corner corrections.

Switch to H/V-Keystone: Switches the correction method to H/V- Keystone. s "H/V-Keystone" p.25

H/V-Keystone

Procedure

Press the [w/], [v/], [</ ] and [>/ ] buttons on the control panel to adjust keystone settings in the horizontal and vertical directions independently.

25

q This adjustment can also be made from H/V-Keystone on the Settings menu. s p.59

•Correcting vertical keystone

Vertical keystone can be corrected to a vertical projector tilt of up to 40˚ against the screen. If you use the projector tilted at an angle of more than 30˚ it could be damaged and cause an accident.

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

Adjusting the Projected Image

•Correcting horizontal keystone

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

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

26

q 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

Changing the Projected Image		27

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.

Using the Remote Control					Using the Control panel

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.)

Changing the Projected Image		28

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

q 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.

Example: EB-G5950/G5650W

Switch to the Target Image by Remote Control

You can change directly to the image from the target input port by pressing the following buttons on the remote control. s "Remote Control" p.16

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

Changing the Aspect Ratio of the Projected Image		29

You can select the aspect mode according to the type of input signal, ratio of height and width, and resolution to switch the Aspect Ratiog of the projected image. The aspect modes are listed below. The aspect modes that can be set depend on the type of image that is being projected.

EB-G5950/G5900/G5800/G5600/G5500

Aspect mode	Explanation
Normal	Projects to the full projection size retaining the aspect
	ratio of the input image.
Auto	Projects in an appropriate aspect ratio based on
	information from the signal being input.
4:3	Projects to the full projection size at an Aspect of 4:3.
	This is ideal for when you want to project images at an
	aspect of 5:4 (1280 x 1024) to the full projection size.
16:9	Projects at a 16:9 aspect ratio. This is ideal for projecting
	at full screen size when using a 16:9 screen.
Native	Projects at the resolution of the input image size to the
	center of the screen. This is ideal for projecting clear
	images.
	If the image resolution exceeds the panel resolution
	(1024 x 768) of the projector, the edges of the image are
	not projected.

Aspect mode	Explanation
Zoom	Projects the input image enlarged to the full lateral
	direction size as the aspect ratio remains. Parts that
	extend beyond the projection size are not projected.
Native	Projects at the resolution of the input image size to the
	center of the screen. This is ideal for projecting clear
	images.
	If the image resolution exceeds the panel resolution
	(1200 x 800) of the projector, the edges of the image are
	not projected.
