INTERACTIVE PROJECTORS WITH
SPACE DEFYING PERFORMANCE.

Superb Short-Throw Performance
With Epson short-throw projectors, you don’t need a big room to project
a large screen for maximum impact. The short focus lens also allows you
to place the projector closer to the screen, thereby greatly reducing glare
and shadows cast from the presenter. The result is a more conducive and
comfortable experience for everyone in the room.
Powerful Interactive Functions
Easy Set-Up
Projector set-up is simply plug and play, with a one-time Auto Calibration and
Auto resolution adjustment. No other drivers are required except for Mac OS.
Epson’s latest short-throw projectors come with proven 3LCD
technology for brilliant image quality and the ability to project large
screen sizes even at close range. New interactive features open
the doors for more creative presentations, allowing you to engage
and participate with your audience like never before.

PC-free Interactivity
A true Epson Original – the EB-421i, 431i, 426Wi and 436Wi projectors
can be annotated without a PC connection, enabling maximum interactivity
with minimal requirements. Users can quickly and easily switch between
PC-connected and PC-free modes by either using an interactive pen to
activate a hot spot on screen, or by activating a dedicated button on the
remote control.
Dual On-screen Pen
Two persons may write on-screen at the same time by just writing over
the projections with Epson’s interactive pens. They work like a computer
mouse and are easily gripped by children and adults, allowing natural,
on-screen annotation with a variety of input sources.
Flexible Positioning
Epson short-throw projectors give you greater possibilities for all kinds of creative applications. The projector can be mounted on a wall or set on a desktop
and is effective on any surface, be it a flat wall, a whiteboard or even a chalkboard. This means you can easily take advantage of underutilised classroom
space by turning any existing board into an interactive projection surface.
Enhance Discussions with Powerful Audio
Impressive Built-in 16W Speaker
The integrated 16W
speaker provides
great audio quality for
enhanced presenations.
Voices are clearly audible
even in large venues,
which is ideally suited
when teaching materials
need to be recorded.
Wireless Audio Transmission
Besides direct PC connections,
you can also connect this
projector series wirelessly* to
your LAN. The audio feed from
a networked PC can then be
transmitted wirelessly to the
projector.

Epson Easy Interactive Tools
The bundled Easy Interactive Tool software allows you to electronically annotate documents using the pen to highlight, draw and edit contents for more
compelling presentations.
Integration with MS PowerPoint
When linked to a PC, you can write annotations and diagrams directly onto
projected Microsoft®PowerPoint documents and save them in their original
format for future editing.
Multitask in White Board Mode
Users are fully able to use familiar PC functions such as Select, Copy, Paste,
Move, Resize and other drawing tools to create and edit content on-screen.
Increase productivity as the White Board mode can be minimised for users to
annotate and reference to other files on their PC or laptop. Dual pen function
is temporarily disabled when White Board mode is minimised.

Extend Your Interactive Reach
Users have the option of using the Interactive Pen Extension which
effectively reduces shadow interference by allowing the presenter to interact
with projected elements from a greater distance.
Superb Built-in Connectivity
Epson short-throw projectors come with many networking features for
seamless and engaging presentations.

EPSON 3LCD TECHNOLOGY – FOR BRIGHT, FAITHFUL COLOURS
COLOUR LIGHT OUTPUT – TRUE COLOURS SHINING THROUGH
3LCD projectors offer brighter and more accurate colours as they produce
different shades and hues by filtering, then mixing beams of the three primary
colours (red, green and blue).
In a 3LCD projector, white light is first split into the three beams of primary
colours. Each beam is then filtered through its own LCD that will give each
individual pixel of the image its exact brightness for each colour. The colour
beams are then perfectly recombined in a prism before being projected out
as a complete image.
• AnindependenttestbyprojectorreviewmediaProjectorCentral.comin2009ofabout800projectorsfoundthatonaverage,
3LCD projectors use 25% less power than single-chip projectors.
3LCD projector : RGB are projected at the same time, which makes the single composite image easy on the eyes.
The Brightness Myth
Did you know that the brightness specification (in lumens) for projectors is
only a measurement of its white light output?
In fact, many manufacturers artificially boost their projectors’ brightness
rating by increasing their white light production capability at the expense of
colour brightness.
CLO to Enlighten
To help buyers make better-educated decisions, colour scientists at the U.S.
government’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST – www.nist.gov)
have developed Colour Light Output (CLO) as a specification to provide
critical information on a projector’s ability to deliver colour.
Colour Light Output is critically important because it measures the brightness
of Red, Green and Blue. In a 3LCD projector, these primary colours create
white when combined in the right proportions. Beautifully balanced colour is
possible when Red, Green and Blue combine to produce the exact colours
required. Colour Light Output provides users with an additional way to
evaluate a projector and make more discerning buying decisions.
How is Colour Light Output measured?
Brightness (or White Light Output)
measures the total amount of white
light projected in lumens on a nine
point grid. It does not measure colour.

Colour Light Output uses 3 sets of a
nine-point grid to measure the primary
colours - red, green and blue, using
the same approach used to measure
White Light Output in lumens.

This compares to projectors using single-chip technology that actually project
individual colours sequentially by filtering their single white light beam through
a colour wheel, and then relying on human colour perception to combine the
colours in the viewers’ minds.
As a result, 3LCD projectors also offer greater detail, smoother gradations,
no “colour breakup” effect, are easier on viewers’ eyes, and consumer about
25% less power to achieve the same brightness compared to a single-chip
projector using a lamp of the same wattage.
