Singapore, 25 June 2007 - Epson, the world's number one brand in data projectors for the last six consecutive years*, has unveiled the EPSON EMP-1810 and EMP-1815 multimedia projectors.  In response to the discerning digital display needs of modern corporate and education institutions, both projectors house an array of highly advanced features within a compact casing. 

The XGA-resolution projectors use Epson's proprietary 3LCD technology to beam smoother, more vibrant and natural images that are easy on the eyes even with prolonged viewing.  Lamp brightness is rated at 3500 ANSI lumens so images can still be viewed without the need to dim the room.  Both projectors accommodate rapid 'Power-On', 'instant-off' and an innovative A/V mute slide - standard features shared by Epson's new class of multimedia projectors for business users.  The 'Power-On' and 'instant-off' features allow presentations to commence and end with minimal delay, while the user-friendly A/V mute slide feature allows presentations to pause for discussions to take place without the unwanted distraction from light seepage and fan whirl. 

Additional features available on EPSON EMP-1815
PC-less presentations are a breeze with the EPSON EMP-1815.  Beyond regular port connection points, the projector has an integrated USB (Version 2.0) port which connects seamlessly to a wide range of compatible input devices including digital cameras, thumb-drives and media players.

In addition to the features listed above, the definitive projector also includes USB connectivity, multi-screen display, and movie-sending with sound.  These three features are unique to Epson's range of multimedia projectors.

For absolute ease-of-use, the EPSON EMP-1815 has a second USB (Version 2.0, PC compatible only) port for users to easily establish projector-to-computer connections using the ubiquitous USB cable instead of the more complicated VGA cable.  True to its plug-and-play nature, no setup is required as the projector automatically detects the active USB connection and beams images immediately. 

Multi-screen display offers users with the capability to display images from up to four networked projectors at the same time. The projectors can also display images from different software concurrently, for example, one projector can beam images from a text document, and another can be displaying images from a slideshow.  By arranging a network of up to four projectors side-by-side, users can choose to display a continuous panoramic image or even wide spreadsheets for dynamic presentations.  For utmost user-friendliness, a single computer can control all the four projectors simultaneously.

For presentations requiring video and sound playback, the EPSON EMP-1815 features a wireless file transfer technology to enable the projector to receive and play MPEG 2 movie files.  Together with built-in speakers, the projector can display high quality full screen video complete with sound.  

Intelligent maintenance management
By using Epson's EMP Monitor software with EPSON EMP-1815, users can monitor and manage the condition of all networked projectors from one location.  The software also provides remote access to functions found on the projector.  For easy maintenance, the EPSON EMP Monitor software can be set to send email alerts to the user if any networked projector requires attention.

With powerful features not found on any other brand of projectors, the new duo demonstrates Epson's expertise and leadership in the projector industry.  Designed to meet and exceed present and future demands of the corporate and education sectors, the EPSON EMP-1810 and EMP-1815 boasts high specifications to future-proof your investments.  The projectors are available in the market now and are priced at S$3,199 and S$3,499 respectively.
