Epson has set itself up to dominate in the high-end AV rental sector when it launched two 3LCD laser projectors at ISE in 2018, which are now available for shipping.
At the time, the EB-L12000Q was the industry’s first 12,000 lumens native 4K 3LCD laser projector and is one of the lightest in its class. The EB-L12000Q projector comes with the Epson-developed native 4K panel, delivering stunning 4K resolution at 3840 x 2160 pixels for more than ultra-high definition quality projections.
Driven by Epson’s proprietary laser light source, these powerful projectors are designed to expand Epson’s line-up in the high-end AV rental sector and are suitable for use in demanding environments including rental and staging events, large auditoriums and digital signage installations.
Upon launch, Ng Ngee Khiang, regional director of the Visual Products & Robotics Solution Division at Epson Singapore said, “We have achieved a new milestone with the EB-L12000Q with 4K native projection, bringing amazing quality resolution to our range of projectors. Both the projectors are able to offer a wide range of functions and ease of integration to existing infrastructure to the rental and staging sector with their compatibility of lenses and interchangeable interfaces and are indeed an important addition to our high brightness line up.”
The EB-L12000Q and EB-L20000U feature a light and compact design, making them easy to integrate into existing infrastructure, and is a breakthrough in terms of size at this level of brightness. With Epson’s original laser light source structure and advanced electrostatic filter, the projectors are capable of delivering 20,000 hours of maintenance-free use [1].
The projectors come with a triple layer dust-proof structure housing a sealed optical engine for excellent durability and resistance, reducing airflow by 86 per cent [2] compared to the previous models, greatly reducing the risk of dust and smoke intrusion [3]. A liquid cooling system maintains optimal temperatures of key optical elements within the sealed optical engine. Additionally, the projectors come with a mechanical shutter that protects the lens from laser light damage.
The projectors are designed to ensure maximum installation flexibility and are able to rotate 360 degrees in any direction without loss in image brightness. A built-in camera enables remote diagnostics and setup. Epson’s Professional Projector Tool software simplifies the set-up of multi-projector installations and offers intuitive geometry correction such as automated edge-blending, curve correction and colour matching. Additionally, interchangeable interface boards mean greater flexibility and future-proofing, allowing for new interfaces and interface updates in future.
Both models are also compatible with the same 4K-compatible lenses used by Epson’s EB-L1000 series projectors for interchangeable usage. Both projector models are compatible with the zero lens offset ultra-short throw lens ELPLX02 with wider lens shift, useful for environments with extremely limited lens-to-screen distances. The projectors also feature support for Hybrid Log-Gamma and HDR10.
