Epson announced its new large-venue 4K 3-chip 3LCD laser projector lineup. In addition to new large venue 4K models, Epson has a new line of ultra-short-throw and fixed-lens projectors for education, corporate and digital signage.

Here they are:

• Epson EB-PQ Series 4K Projectors: Front and center will be Epson’s new large venue 4K laser projectors. Now shipping, the EB-PQ Series projectors utilize Epson’s 3-chip, 3LCD technology as well as new 4K Crystal Motion technology and a high native contrast ratio for “extraordinary detail, vibrant colors and deep blacks.” Featuring eight models, the lineup ranges from 8,000 to 20,000 lumens and includes what Epson calls “the world’s smallest and lightest 10,000- and 20,000-lumen 4K projectors.” Powered by a 20,000-hour “virtually maintenance-free” laser light source, the projectors come with features such as HDR support, adaptive gamma correction and NFC functionality and pair with Epson’s existing range of optional lenses and PixAlign camera.

• Epson PowerLite 810E and 815E Extreme Short Throw with 4K Enhancement: Epson’s first extreme short-throw fixed lens lamp-free laser displays to offer 4K Enhancement technology for classrooms, meeting rooms and more. Incorporating a new cooling system and revitalized platform with 3-chip, 3LCD technology and 5,000 lumens of color and white brightness, the PowerLite 810E (white) / 815E (black) deliver “sharp, bright images up to 160-inches sitting merely inches from the wall.” Offering standard 16:9 to super-wide 21:9 aspects ratios, along with quality built-in sound, digital zoom and new Epson Setting Assistant app, it makes setup simple and integration easier for fleet management, image alignment and casting.

• Epson PowerLite L Series with 4K Enhancement: The PowerLite L Series provides up to 7,000 lumens of brightness and combine native WUXGA and 4K Enhancement technology that doubles HD video resolution on-screen to deliver “ultra bright, clear images virtually anywhere.” Capable of projecting images up to 500 inches with aspect ratio support from standard 16:10 to ultra-wide 21:9, the projectors adapt across a range of infrastructures and applications. They are also compatible with Epson’s optional PixAlign camera.

• Epson Projector Management — Connected (EPM-C): A cloud-based solution, this software makes it “easy to manage, monitor and control networked projector fleets from any device with a web browser.” Ideal for end users or IT professionals managing multiple displays, display groups or installation sites, EPM-C saves valuable time, minimizes downtime and enables the discovery of new ways to optimize the life of projectors in fleets.

• PixAlign ELPEC01 Camera: Within the PowerLite L Series 4K models, the optional camera attaches to a projector or ultra short-throw lens — no tools or adjustments to the angle needed. Epson says the camera enables easy screen matching and color calibration. The company says it will continue to add new tools based on automated installation support, including new simple stacking and simple blending functions that can be performed without a router or connected PC.
• New Accessories: Epson introduced a new flexible, mobile solution for corporate and classroom environments. Epson will highlight a 13-model lineup from the Europe audiovisual mounts manufacturer Euromet. Designed for live events and fixed installations, the ceiling mount and stacking frames can be customized with a variety of compatible accessories to match the specific needs of an installation.
