Epson introduced six new Pro Series interchangeable lens projectors ranging from 13,000 to 20,000 lumens. This new generation of compact, ultra-lightweight 3LCD projectors include the EB-PU2220B and EB-PU2120W, which are 64 percent smaller and 50 percent lighter than their predecessors. With their compact chassis and advanced tool set that simplifies installation and maintenance, the new models offer many advantages for the live event and large venue markets, including more efficient set-up, much lower power consumption and potential savings in labor, storage and shipping.
Epson’s new series actually includes six new Pro Series projectors, which feature full HD WUXGA resolution with 4K Enhancement Technology to produce crisp, ultra-bright images. The projectors are compatible with Epson’s extensive lens family, including an ultra-short-throw .35 lens with a unique zero offset design, for added flexibility during installation. The full series includes the following projectors — the black EB-PU2213B (13,000 lumens), EB-PU2216B (16,000 lumens) and EB-PU2220B (20,000 lumens) and white EB-PU2113W (13,000 lumens), EB-PU2116W (16,000 lumens), and EB-PU2120W (20,000 lumens).

The new laser projectors tout convenient features such as 3G-SDI input and output to accommodate daisy-chaining and long cable runs, along with a mechanical shutter to help protect the projectors during laser light shows. Plus, with Epson’s optional attachable camera, integrators have access to powerful installation tools such as projector stacking assist function, tiling assist for edge blends, color calibration, and screen matching. With the optional attachable camera, users also have access to the Simple Stacking function to quickly stack two projectors using just the remote controller.

The new Pro Series models come equipped with Near Field Communication (NFC) functionality and the easy-to-use Epson Projector Configuration Tool (EPCT), Android™ and iOS® mobile apps to streamline multi-projector installations. The projectors also feature a hermetically sealed optical engine for high dust resistance and a filter-less cabinet for low-maintenance operation. Users can control multiple projectors in a single, large space with Epson Projector Professional Tool (EPPT) and easily manage installed inventory with Epson Projector Management.
