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 electric lens shift, zoom and focus functions
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.138
The lens shift, zoom, and focus functions can be operated with a remote control so
operation is easy even if the projector is mounted on the ceiling.
Variety of optional lenses available
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.162
Various angles of projection
The projector can be pointed up, down, or
angled to project images on the ceiling or
floor, in addition to normal horizontal
projection. This makes it an effective
communication tool that lets you express
your ideas with great impact. sp.130
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.
The bar type handles are designed to make moving and installing the projector easy so it
can be handled safely. The ceiling mount is attached to these handles to mount the
projector on the ceiling. The projector does not need to be turned upside down so
installation is easy. The initial settings can be easily set as you look at the screen because
the control panel is arranged on the back of the projector.
Easy maintenance
You can replace the lamp by opening a cover and pulling it straight out of the back of the
projector without using a screwdriver.
There is only one air filter so cleaning and replacement are easy. The lamp and air filter
can be safely replaced even when mounted on the ceiling because their covers do not fall
off even if you release them.
Reliablity You can Depend on
Dual lamps, to reduce risk of shutdown
The projector is equipped with two lamps. Even if one of the lamps breaks, you can
continue projecting with the other lamp and avoid disrupting important presentations.
Achieves operating temperature of 0–50˚C
Special coolant and fan in cooling system work against a high temperature environment
during operation and improve reliability in normal use.
It depends on settings and usage environment, but you can use this projector in a place
up 50˚C.
Meets a Wide Range of Needs
Equipped with a high-resolution WUXGA panel (EB-Z8455WU/
Z8450WU only)
Projector Features
8

You can project a dramatic amount of
information on the screen. Viewers can see
the information at a glance without having
to scroll or switch screens.
The frame interpolation function
smoothly plays fast moving video, such as
sports and action movies, reducing
afterimage.
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.29
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.28
Epson Cinema Filter supports the color gamut for digital cinema.
Select Theatre or sRGB in Color Mode to use Epson Cinema Filter. When Color Mode is
set to Theatre, 100% reproduction of the color gamut used for digital cinema is possible.
As a result, this reproduces colors that are full and deep.
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.
The setting values of adjusted image can be saved in memory and used when needed. If
you use one projector in several places, you can easily use the previous settings again.
Seamlessly project multiple images together
When projecting on one screen from multiple projectors, color tone differences
between each projected image can be adjusted to create a seamless screen, using Multi-
screen and Edge Blending. sp.150
Enhanced Security Functions
Password Protect to restrict and manage users
By setting a password you can restrict who can use the projector. sp.38
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.40
Equipped with various anti-theft devices
The projector is equipped with the following types of anti-theft security devices.
sp.43
•Security slot
•Security cable installation point
Easy to Handle
Direct power On/Off
Projector Features
9

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
Schedule
You can schedule turning the projector power on/off and switching the input source, as
events in the schedule. Registered events are executed automatically at the specified time
on the specified dates weekly. s"Setting Schedule" p.159
Supporting various protocols
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.107
Taking Full Advantage of a Network Connection
Simultaneously project four images for dynamic conferences
By using the EasyMP Multi PC Projection application software included, you can select
up to 4 images from up to 32 computers that are connected to the network, and divide
the projector's screen to show them together. Anyone can freely and easily project
images from connected computers to make conferences and meetings more lively.
sEasyMP Multi PC Projection Operation Guide
Transferring images using the network
The supplied EasyMP Network Projection applications software can be used to connect
to network computers and transfer video and movies. Using a variety of transfer
functions increases presentation possibilities. sEasyMP Network Projection
Operation Guide
*This unit cannot transfer audio.
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.

port.

beginning this operation. When two or more pieces of equipment
are connected, press the [Source Search] button until the target
image is projected.
