EPSON LAUNCHES TWO NEW 3LCD LASER PROJECTORS
3LCD laser projectors EB-L12000Q and EB-L20000U
Epson, has announced the launch of two new 3LCD laser projectors – the EB-L12000Q, which is the industry’s first 12,000 lumen native, lightest, 4K 3LCD laser projector; and the EB-L20000U, Epson’s first model in the 20,000 lumen WUXGA installation projection sector.
The new EB-L12000Q projector comes with the Epson-developed native 4K panel, delivering 4K resolutions at 3840 x 2160 pixels for more than ultra-high definition quality projections. Driven by Epson’s proprietary laser light source are suitable for use in demanding environments including rental and staging events, large auditoriums and digital signage installations.
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.
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 compared to the previous models, greatly reducing the risk of dust and smoke intrusion. A newly developed 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 new 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 color matching. Additionally, interchangeable interface boards mean greater flexibility and futureproofing, 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. The projector models are also compatible with the new zero lens offset ultra-short throw lens ELPLX02 with wider lens shift, useful for environments with extremely limited lens-to-screen distances. The new projectors also feature support for Hybrid Log Gamma and HDR10.
