Brilliant Image Quality

3x Brighter Colors with Epson

®1

Brilliant image quality requires high color brightness

(color light output), and Epson 3LCD projectors have

3x Brighter Colors than leading competitive projectors

1

.

One brightness measurement (lumens) is not enough.

A projector’s specication needs to show both high color

brightness and high white brightness. If color brightness is

lower than white brightness, images may be dark, dull and

lose detail. If not provided, be sure to ask for a projector’s

color brightness specication.

COMPETITOREPSON

3LCD, the #1 projection technology
in the world, has:

• Both high color brightness and

1

high white brightness

• 3 chips for up to 3x Brighter Colors

2

than 1-chip DLP projectors

• 25% lower power consumption for

lower energy costs

3

• 25 years of road-tested reliability

• A nationwide study reveals that 9 out of 10

people prefer images from 3LCD projectors

Split Screen

Use the Split Screen7 feature to project two images (video or still) side-

by-side from two different sources simultaneously. Choose from three

layout options: 50-50% split screen; with the main image on the left; or

with the main image on the right. You can swap the images, chose the

source for the audio, and even display closed captioning if the source

signal includes it.

Versatile, Advanced Connectivity

HDBaseT

Connect to virtually any system with HDBaseT, 3G-SDI5, HDMI®, DVI, VGA, BNC and LAN connectivity. Cutting-edge HDBaseT technology

means just one single CAT-5/6 cable carries Full HD video, audio, network and control commands. And, it’s over 328' to accommodate large

venues. There’s no need for additional cables, signal repeaters or added labor.

™

and Diverse Connectivity

Optional HDBaseT Transmitter

For your convenience, Epson offers an optional HDBaseT transmitter

box as a companion piece to the Pro Z Series. Three inputs are

featured for easy installation: HDMI, LAN, and RS-232 to output into

a CAT-5/6 cable.

3G-SDI Connectivity

3G-SDI5 supports the latest connectivity options.

This innovative feature enables you to broadcast customized images/alerts

over the network for announcements or instructions. Messages can be

sent to up to 1024 projectors simultaneously and will overwrite the current

screen content if the projector is being used, unless this function is disabled

by the presenter. If the projector is off, Message Broadcasting will turn the

projector on and then display the message.
