With a significant reduction in size and weight over their predecessors, the new projectors simplify setup without compromising performance."

The projectors pair seamlessly with Epson's extensive lens family, including an ultra short-throw .35 lens with a unique zero offset design, for added flexibility during installation.

The new laser projectors tout convenient features ideal for live events, including 3G-SDI input and output to accommodate daisy-chaining and long cable runs along with a mechanical shutter to help protect the projectors during laser light shows.
