A Quick Look at the new Epson Pro L Series Projectors
Explaining some of the features built into its latest projection products, Epson says the Pro L projectors incorporate its 4K enhancement technologies, as well as long-range connectivity via the HDBaseT format and wide lens shift capabilities.
Epson states the Pro L projectors can be used for applications such as visitor attraction displays, higher education, museums and corporate meeting rooms.

What is #EpsonVortex?
While ISE 2019 attendees visit the Epson stand, they can check out what it’s calling #EpsonVortex — an on-stand, 360 degree ‘kinetic portal’ visitor experience designed not only to transport you to the heart of the experience, but to amke you a part of the installation.
More on #EpsonVortext (via Epson press release):
Each trip through the EpsonVortex is unique. Epson has employed 16 double-stacked EB-L1755U laser projectors with ELPLU03 lenses and a custom 4D soundtrack using multichannel audio. Visitors will become part of this unique installation as, when entering the portal, each person is mapped using a laser matrix with real time visuals creating an ever-changing spectacle that responds to an individual’s every movement.
Neil Colquhoun, Vice President – CISMEA & professional displays, Epson Europe, says: “This is our strongest AV line-up to date, from the very high end 30,000 lumens EB-L30000U to the new, compact, signage projector, the EB-U50. We’ve completed our impressive line-up of installation projectors to meet the most demanding environments, and we look forward to showcasing them at ISE.”
Additional highlights on the stand include a demonstration by the UK’s National Theatre of its newly launched smart caption glasses designed for people with hearing loss. The smart caption glasses use Epson’s Moverio augmented reality smart glasses to provide theatre goers with real-time synchronised transcripts of dialogue directly onto the lenses of the glasses. It means that people with hearing loss can now follow the action without taking their eyes off the stage.
“Augmented reality is fast coming of age, with many applications now moving from proof of concept to mainstream implementation. Our work with the National Theatre is a wonderful example; showing how smart glasses can assist people who are hard of hearing, making theatre more accessible, and is one of many useful applications across a diverse range of sectors from retail, healthcare and education to repair and maintenance, entertainment, museums and visitor attractions.” says Valerie Riffaud Cangelosi, Head of New Market Development – Epson EMEA.
