Epson has announced the industry-first 12,000 lumen native 4K 3LCD laser projector and one of the lightest in its class–the EB-L12000Q.
The Epson EB-L12000Q comes equipped with Epson-developed native 4K panel with 4K resolutions at 3840 x 2160 pixels.
Aside from the EB-L12000Q, Epson also launched the EB-L20000U projector, the company’s first model in the 20,000 lumen WUXGA installation projection sector.
Both projectors come in a light and compact design, and deliver up to 20,000 hours of maintenance-free use. The projectors come with a triple layer dust-proof structure housing a sealed optical engine. 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.
Designed to have maximum installation flexibility, these projectors can rotate 360 degrees in any direction without loss in image brightness. A built-in camera enables remote diagnostics and setup.
The EB-L12000Q and EB-L20000U can use the same 4K-compatible lenses used by Epson’s EB-L1000 series projectors for interchangeable use. Both projector models are 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.
