Epson unveils ultra portable projectors

BENGALURU, INDIA: Epson unveiled two ultra portable multimedia projectors. Weighing 1.8kg, the Epson EB-1725 (XGA) and 1735W (WXGA) projectors are able to achieve up to 2000:1 contrast ratio.

Both projectors, which feature 3,000 ANSI lumens of brightness, offer users the options of delivering either standard or widescreen presentations.

To establish the wireless connection set-up for the first time, users of the Epson EB-1725 and 1735W projectors simply have to insert the USB key into the projector, and then into the notebook.

The USB key will automatically detect and reconfigure the notebook’s network settings and within seconds, the user will be able to commence the presentation. The original network settings will be restored when users remove the USB key from the notebook after the presentation.

For those who are often on the move or who may still prefer to establish a wired connection, a single standard USB cable now allows to send sound – besides images – from the notebook to the Epson EB-1725 and 1735W projectors, thus reducing set-up time and also eliminating the need to carry a bulky VGA cable around.

In addition, instead of navigating the pages of PowerPoint slides through the notebook, users of the Epson EB-1725 and 1735W projectors can now do so from any part of the conference room or classroom by using the ‘page-up’ and ‘page-down’ buttons on the remote control. It can connect up to four projectors with a remote notebook or computer.
