Bright Ideas for Conference Centres

A Changing Market

For small conference rooms new solutions include short-throw projectors, meaning the presenter no longer has to stand in the light beam, being dazzled and leaving a shadow on the screen, and the desk can be freed of the device and its cabled, making the setting much more aesthetic. In January 2008, Epson, the world’s leading projector manufacturer, launched the EMP-400W, an ultrashort throwing distance, compact and lightweight projector ideal for corporate presentations, especially within small meeting areas. The projector is able to deliver a clear and sharp focussed 60-inch picture at just 65cm from the projection surface. Ultra-short distance projectors are the perfect answer for businesses that require sharp, highquality presentation facilities within smaller, dynamic spaces.

Making it Easy

Another major concern is the ease with which the projector can be used, and here again this can be a major draw-card for your conference rooms. For this, Epson has launched the EMP-1825; a versatile, easy-to-use, high-end projector with innovative features designed to deliver outstanding functionality and quality. The projector fits seamlessly within any working environment and has been specially engineered alongside Microsoft to offer compatibility with the Windows Vista Network Projector function for easy wireless and wired connectivity. This function ensures the projector can be connected wirelessly within a few seconds from the Windows Vista Start menu without the need to install any software. 

Run In – Run Out – Flexibility a Key

Another factor that can play a big role in the success of your facility is that of offering either bare-bone rooms for meetings, or the possibility to have an “in house” supplied ultra portable projector on demand. Keeping projectors in house for this reason is becoming a great USP. The new Epson ‘ultra mobile’ series succeeds the popular EB-1700 series, further enhancing versatility, functionality and usability to support professional, hassle-free presentations. All of the projectors in the range weigh 1.8kg or less, and a newly designed carry-case makes running the projectors from one room top another easier than ever before.

The BIG picture

For large conference areas, nothing is more impressive than a breath-taking image from a new-generation installation projector. To this end, Epson has launched the new innovative EB-G5000 series to replace its previous installation models. The new range revolutionises Epson’s installation offering, setting new standards for brightness, usability, connectivity and value for large environment installations.

The new EB-G5000 projectors are among the brightest in the industry, boasting up to 5000 lumens to ensure clarity and quality even in large and light environments such as lecture halls and auditoriums.
