LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. – Epson, the number-one selling projector brand worldwide,1 today announced the new PowerLite® L570U, L770U and L775U are now available, adding 4K Enhancement Technology2 and PixAlign™ Camera support to the compact and portable PowerLite L line up. Built with easy installation and creative tools, along with 5,200 and 7,000 lumens of equal color and white brightness,3 the new projectors offer convenience and a premium viewing experience at any distance. The new 3-chip 3LCD laser projectors elevate entertainment and education spaces and facilitate more equitable and collaborative meeting experiences with easy operation from start to finish.
Visual technology artist, Jeff Dobrow, understands the value of high-quality projection with 4K enhanced imagery along with built-in tools for easier setup, content management and multi-projection installs. Dobrow notes, “The quality of projection content can be significantly improved with 4K Enhancement3 where higher pixel density is necessary. This increase in clarity and detail will allow for a rich viewing experience, especially when indoors where everything is within reach.”
Lightweight and compact, the 7,000-lumen3 PowerLite L770U (white), PowerLite L775U (black) and 5,200-lumen3 PowerLite L570U laser projectors are adaptable, offering strikingly clear and extremely bright displays across a range of environments – classrooms, conference rooms, museums, and beyond. The new models are also compatible with Epson’s attachable PixAlign™ camera (sold separately), providing access to advanced projection capabilities that help simplify complex multi-projector installations and make achieving sophisticated projection applications easy.
“In heritage sites and other sensitive installations, less is always more. The ability to keep content playlists, along with warping and blending tools, in the projector dramatically reduces site impact and infrastructure footprint – an extremely valuable consideration,” Dobrow adds. “Barriers for projection artists are not small and combining powerful, time-saving features with better resolution and brilliant color in one solution goes a long way. I need more time to focus on finessing content and less on scoping out solutions. Epson’s continued innovation with projection allows us to focus on the experiences.”
Durable and long-lasting with impressive brightness and detailed images, the new models offer Full HD resolution with 4K Enhancement Technology2 along with a virtually maintenance free, 20,000-hour laser light source and air filter.4 Available in a black or white chassis to blend into various infrastructure, the projectors can deliver up to a 500-inch image and switch between a number of aspect ratios, from standard 16:10 and 16:9 to ultra-wide 16:6 and 21:9 adding increased horizontal content real estate for more collaborative hybrid meetings. In addition, to ensure flawless operation, the projectors will immediately turn on when sensing a signal or by Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) over HDMI.
“The new PowerLite L projectors are intended to meet the market’s needs to deliver immersive, high impact displays with large, detailed, high-resolution content,” said Chris Teguh, product manager, Epson America, Inc. “With the addition of 4K Enhancement technology2 and the easy-to-install PixAlign camera, the new projectors provide increased display performance and convenient tools to empower creative minds to wow their audiences.”
