The EDS-3170A and EDX-3270A models boast a variety of features which make it
easy to use and deliver highly professional presentations.
My Screen function
The new My Screen feature allows the user to store an image such as a company
logo or a product picture in the projector’s non-volatic memory. This image is then
displayed immediately when the projector is switched on, even before any input
sources are connected, giving a more professional start to a presentation.
Horizontal and Vertical Keystone Correction
Setting up is both easier and more flexible thanks to integrated horizontal and
vertical keystone correction, accessed directly via a single button on the unit’s
control panel. This feature means that the projector can be set off to the right or
left of the screen and correction can be applied to remove any image distortion.
Wide Angle Lens
The Wide Angle Lens allows you to display images about twice as big as an
ordinary projector giving a bigger screen size in a restricted space, for example
a 60" screen can be displayed at a projection distance of only 1.8m (6ft).
With an output of 1700 (EDS-3170A) and 1900 (EDX-3270A), images displayed on
these projectors are vivid and bright making either of these models an ideal multi
purpose projector for installation in medium to large venues, but at only 2.7Kg they
are still light enough to be portable. Delivering superb computer images and
unmatched video quality, performance is impressive with a wide range of features.
Advanced features enhance presentation quality and make initial set up even easier.
For example Keystone correction can be made in both vertical and horizontal
directions, while the new ‘My Screen’ feature allows an image to be displayed at a
switch before the presentation begins. With full connectivity the EDX-3270A and
EDS-3170A models feature 2 RGB inputs so you can connect 2 PCs at any one time
and easily switch over 3 video inputs. Other features include the Remote Mouse
Function - a convenient feature that allows you to operate a mouse by using the
projectors own remote control.

EDS-3170A &EDX-3270A Features
The EDS-3170A and EDX-3270A offer virtually every input connection required to
accommodate today’s media sources including S-Video, Composite video formats and
both projectors, which come with stereo audio. On the computer side there are two
RGB inputs and an audio input, so you can connect 2 PCs at one time and easily
switch over 3 video inputs.

Reduced
excessive
image noise
Black Level Enhancement: In most video images the darkest areas of the picture are not fully black.
By forcing these areas to be black the perceived quality of the projected image can often be
improved. Normally, black enhancement is a linear adjustment which proportionately darkens all
areas of the picture causing an unwelcome reduction in midrange brightness. Hitachi’s advanced
black enhancement method avoids this by applying a measured adjustment to the darker areas while
leaving the brighter areas unaffected.

Longer Lamp Life
Through the development of new circuitry and improved airflow, the EDS-3170A and EDX-3270A
now offer a lamp life of up to 4000 hours, resulting in lower operational and maintenance costs.
Pin Code Security Function
Offering you peace of mind and reassurance, the pin code security feature protects the projector
from unauthorised usage. By simply allowing you to enter a personal code, this anti-theft device
will act as a deterrent and allow for better product care, particularly in schools and other
educational institutions.
Remote Mouse Function
This simple but convenient function allows you to operate and control the PC mouse via the projectors
own remote control. No need to search and use two remote controls.
Image Noise Reduction
Image Noise Reduction: The EDS-3170A and EDX-3270A also uses digital image processing to
reduce excessive image noise. By continually comparing the value of each pixel over successive
fields, any abrupt or isolated change can be identified and suppressed resulting in a cleaner
sharper image.
