Epson Releases Four Multimedia Projectors

Epson has introduced four new multimedia projectors, featuring LCD technology. The EB-S9, EB-X9, EB-X10 and EB-W10 feature 3LCD technology that employs three discrete LCD panels assigned to the red, green and blue channels to produce an image.

In addition to the regular connectivity options, the Epson's LCD range also features USB direct connectivity, which simplifies cabling by allowing display using USB cable, which is found across all modern computers. This makes it extremely convenient for presentations, where you don't have to carry different kinds of video cables for compatibility. This feature also allows the projectors to display JPEG images right off the USB drive connected to it.

These projectors ship with a lamp starting at 2,500 ANSI lumens, and employ what Epson calls the E-TORL technology that promises to extend lamp life to 5,000 hours at the cost of image luminosity in the eco mode. Epson EB-S9 has a resolution of 800x600p (SVGA) with a lens that's capable of subtending image across a minimum of 0.87m to 10.5m (diagonal). This projector costs Rs. 34,000.

The EB-X9, EB-X10 (both 1024x768p) and EB-W10 (1280x800p) can display an image spanning 0.9m to 9.0m large. The EB-X9 and EB-S9 have a brightness of 2,500 ANSI lumens, while EB-X10 and EB-W10 are rated at 2,600 lumens, in addition to an HDMi port. The EB-X9 costs Rs. 40,400, EB-X10 costs Rs. 43,200 and EB-W10 costs Rs. 57,000.
