Singapore, 22nd June 2005 - Epson, the world leader* in data projector has announced the launch of the ultra light and portable EMP-765 and EMP-760 projectors. These new 3LCD projectors deliver up to 2500 ANSI lumens of brightness, providing quality performance in various types of environments.

Featuring wireless solutions, USB storage compatibility, PC-less presentation options as well as advanced security features and networking functionality, the EMP-765 presents users with added ease in mobile presentations.

"Multimedia presentations are a way of life in today's modern business and recreational environment. The EMP-760 and EMP-765 do not only offer users portability, but also provide rich functionality," said Mr Kent Lew of Epson Singapore. "With image clarity and brightness levels in a class of its own, the EMP-760 and EMP-765 empower the discerning presenter. Business professionals will always be prepared with the necessary equipment to make a statement, wherever the place, whatever the situation."

Connects without wires
Among the key features of the EMP-765 is its wireless technology. Highly developed and based on IEEE 802.11b/g WiFi technology for projectors, the EMP-765 enables the uploading or running of presentations wirelessly. As an added security function, the wireless connectivity features an "Interrupt Disable" that prevents other wireless devices in the vicinity from hijacking the projector, as well as a "Presentation Mode" function that allows for transiting and modifying presentations professionally and securely.

The USB terminal and PC Card slot allow for presentations to be done without a PC. This eliminates the fuss of connecting cables, thereby liberating the source PC beyond the immediate area of the projector. The EMP-765 also comes with a built-in MPEG decoder for playing MPEG 2 movies, making it one of the first in the industry for PC-less presentations. It also works with Mac OS X 10.3, which allows wireless compatibility with Apple's Keynote presentation software.

The EMP-765 offers network functionality with both wired and wireless LAN connections. 

Strong offering
 "People today demand convenience, mobility and more importantly connectivity to data sources that they need to access," said Mr Lew. The EMP-765 and EMP-760 are designed to meet these needs, from its ultra light weight and the highly developed wireless connectivity in the EMP-765, to its instant off and pack up features. We are confident that the EMP-765 and EMP-760 will be well received in the market."

Powered by Epson Twin Optimize Reflection Lamp technology (E-TORL), the EMP-765 and EMP-760 surpass other business projectors in terms of performance as they pack 2,500 ANSI lumens of brightness in a 1.8 and 1.7kg device respectively.  Images are projected as beautifully as they come without interfering and annoying colour break-ups or distortions. Epson's 3LCD-projector technology offers flawless video playback that does justice to the quality of work put in.

The EMP-765 and EMP-760 are available at S$3,999 / S$3,679 now from authorized Epson dealers.
