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

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.
sp.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.
sp.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. sp.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 DICOM
g
standard.
(The projector is not a medical device and cannot be used for medical diagnosis.)
sp.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
8

By setting a password you can restrict who can use the projector. sp.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. sp.51
Equipped with various anti-theft devices
The projector is equipped with the following types of anti-theft security devices.
sp.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. sEasyMP 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.
sp.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.) sp.147
