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 projectors1.
One brightness measurement
(lumens) is not enough. A projector’s
specification 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 specification.

Award-winning Faroudja DCDi Cinema®
for advanced video quality
Faroudja DCDi Cinema is a video enhancement technology,
used primarily for film viewing, that produces exceptional image
quality without introducing artifacts. Faroudja developed DCDi
(Directional Correlational Deinterlacing) to reduce jagged images
by using a unique algorithm.
This algorithm, in combination
with the technology’s decoding,
deinterlacing and enhancement
features, won an Emmy®Award
from the National Academy of
Television Arts & Sciences.
Advanced color adjustments
For special projection material such as high-quality
photographs or artwork, users can adjust the hue, saturation
and brightness for six colors, RGBCMY (Red, Green, Blue,
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow).
DICOM Simulation Mode4
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) is a
standard for handling, storing, printing and transmitting medical
imaging information. The projector’s DICOM Simulation Mode
enables users to reproduce images with an advanced grayscale
level that simulates DICOM Part 14. This mode is ideal for
viewing grayscale medical images, such as X-rays,
for training and educational purposes.

1 Compared to leading 1-chip DLP business and education projectors based on NPD data, July 2011 through June 2012. Color brightness (color light output) measured in accordance with IDMS 15.4.
Color brightness will vary depending on usage conditions.
2 Color brightness (color light output) and white brightness (white light output) will vary depending on usage conditions. Color light output measured in accordance with IDMS 15.4; white light output
measured in accordance with ISO 21118.
3 Consult your user manual for input combinations.
4 This projector does not meet the DICOM standard Part 14 and should not be used as a medical diagnostic device.
5 Data source: ProjectorCentral.com Jan. 2013. Average of 1128 shipping models for which the manufacturers provided lumens and total power data, all resolutions and brightness levels.
Energy efficiency was measured as wattage per lumen. It was measured for both 3LCD and 1-chip projectors in each of five brightness segments. 3LCD projectors averaged less required
electricity per lumen in each of the five segments.
6 ECO Mode is up to 4000 hours. Normal Mode is up to 2500 hours. Lamp life will vary depending upon mode selected, environmental conditions and usage. Lamp brightness decreases over time.
7 Check your owner’s manual to determine if a separate wireless LAN module must be purchased separately to enable wireless connection on your Epson projector. Epson projectors can be networked
either through the Ethernet port on the projector (check model specifications for availability) or via a wireless connection. Not all Epson projectors are able to be networked. Availability varies depending
on model.
8 Works only with Epson projectors that support presentation over the network capability.
