Ultra Flexible
While interactive whiteboards are limited to a predetermined height and width, BrightLink
has no such constraints. Set the size of the interactive area to fit your available space.
Even if no two rooms in your district are the same, one interactive projector can meet the
needs of multiple room types. Our mounting plate and easy installation tools will help
you determine the right location of the projector to get you the active area you want.
BrightLink’s size-adjustment also means a simpler solution for technology managers.
Use one type of hardware to fit in various types of spaces, and reduce the complexity
and cost of managing and maintaining multiple types of equipment. And, with Epson
software, EasyMP® Network Projection and EasyMP Monitor included, it is easy to
monitor and control all networked Epson projectors.

“I want technology to feel more integrated and transparent.”
Ultra-short Throw
The new ultra-short throw projector design eliminates many of the common problems of
interactive systems, such as an intrusive classroom footprint, as well as eye glare. The
new mount is designed for simple wall installations. Anchored close to the wall, you can
project extra-large, 80" images from just 2' away. The new optical design includes
leading-edge 3LCD chip technology to deliver brilliant images in extra-large sizes.
Plus, this new ultra-short throw projector includes the mount in the final price.

“My classroom real estate is valuable. Multi-purpose is a plus.”
Ultra Multi-purpose
BrightLink works on almost any surface — an existing whiteboard, a flat wall, even a
chalkboard with dry-erase paint. Interactive capabilities are built into the projector
and not into a board, so virtually any surface will work. This eliminates the expense of
a dedicated interactive whiteboard and the need to dedicate valuable real estate to just
one function.
Use pre-existing whiteboards and dry-erase markers and add BrightLink interactivity as
an overlay, or take advantage of underutilized classroom space. Because the whiteboard
is optional, you can turn empty areas and plain walls into interactive learning areas and
maximize the value of the wall space available.

“I want to be protected from obsolescence for as long as possible.”
Future-proof
Technology changes make obsolescence a core issue for education. Tech leaders
working on multi-year implementations usually have to pay a premium for features they
want to integrate later. BrightLink provides contingency planning without the insurance
premium. Easy integration and advanced connectivity features
allow you to evolve your classrooms as you incorporate
additional technologies.
