Epson, a leading manufacturer of projectors worldwide, announces its newest 3-chip 3LCD PowerLite L-Series laser projectors are now available and are compatible with Apple AirPlay. This enhancement addresses the growing demand for content streaming on large, vibrant displays in many settings, allowing users to share videos, photos, music, and more from Apple devices directly to their projector.
The new lineup delivers higher brightness and pro level features in a portable design, with an expanded range of throw ratios to solve placement challenges. With standard throw projectors and newly added optical zoom on two short throw options, the PowerLite L-Series now covers a range of throw ratios between .5 to 2.2. This is designed for greater installation flexibility across applications, from floor and rear projection to meeting rooms and lecture halls.
“The new PowerLite L-Series models are a unique combination of compact form factor and professional-level features,” says Chris Teguh, product manager, large venue projectors, Epson America, Inc. “The addition of Apple AirPlay combability demonstrates our commitment to enhancing user experiences and connectivity to allow users to easily share content in classroom and business settings.”
Apple AirPlay compatibility allows users to stream movies, music, games, and photos directly to the new PowerLite L-Series projectors from iPhones, iPads or Macs. Users can watch movies and shows from favorite apps or Safari, share photos with everyone in a room, or play music and podcasts on the projector and other AirPlay speakers.
Powered by Epson’s 3-chip 3LCD technology, the lineup ranges from 6,000- to 8,000-lumens, with options featuring Full HD WUXGA resolution and 4K Enhancement Technology designed for sharp, detailed images – even for up close viewing. Built for a variety of environments – classrooms, worship spaces, lecture halls, conference rooms, hybrid workspaces and more – these projectors produce vibrant, high-resolution images up to 500 inches in 16:10. Plus, they are capable of projecting in a variety of other aspect ratios, including ultra-wide 16:6 and 21:9 for enhanced content display and visibility.
Previously only available in Epson’s interchangeable lens lineup, the new projectors include installation tools such as NFC, advanced geometric correction and the optional PixAlign camera for simplifying complex multi-projector installations such as screen matching, blending or stacking. They also offer features, such as optical zoom, wide lens shift, geometric correction tools, and more for simpler and more seamless installation. With built-in wireless communication, users can monitor and control projector fleets remotely from a web browser using the Epson Projector Management Connected app, as well as enable advanced screen casting tools like Apple AirPlay, Epson iProjection and Miracast.
“Customers are looking for more accessible ways to build complex multi-projector systems, and these latest PowerLite L models enable that. And now with AirPlay compatibility, they deliver stunning visuals while integrating into today’s smart ecosystems,” says Teguh.
