Epson announces the new EB-XQ2030B 30,000-lumen, 4K Laser 3LCD projector. EB-XQ2030B pairs 3-chip 3LCD color, black levels and 4K detail at up to 30,000 lumens of brightness, designed for large-scale visuals for immersive environments. according to the announcement.
“There is a surge of large-display installations across multiple markets – from bright, expansive auditoriums and gymnasiums in higher education to large-scale immersive environments across themed entertainment, live events and landmark installations,” the announcement states. The EB-XQ2030B is, “designed to deliver the image performance artists and creative teams need to bring ambitious visions to life, especially in productions where color, contrast and detail are critical to the experience.”
“Projection technology continues to evolve at a remarkable pace, and our commitment to leading that evolution has never been stronger,” says Chris Teguh, product manager, Epson America. “Our continued investment in projection technology has enabled this incredible engineering achievement. The EB-XQ2030B pushes the boundaries of what’s possible in large-venue projection, delivering unprecedented brightness, and impeccable image quality in a smaller, lighter footprint. This combination empowers artists and creators to bring their work to life in places that were previously unfeasible.”
At its core, the EB-XQ2030B’s 3-chip 3LCD technology produces full-color output, while high native contrast delivers deep black levels for immersive, large-scale experiences. Its 4K Crystal Motion technology produces detail with clarity, designed for immersive and interactive experiences across complex surfaces and demanding environments.
“The EB-XQ2030B sets a new benchmark for versatility and performance in its class as the world’s smallest and lightest 30,000-lumen projector, bringing flagship-level projection into spaces where conventional 30,000-lumen-class systems can be difficult to place, support or conceal,” the release continues. “Enabled by Epson’s proprietary Advanced Cooling Engine, its dramatically reduced size and weight, along with optimized airflow for quiet, efficient operation, give system designers greater flexibility to integrate high-brightness projection into a wide range of venues without compromising architecture, sightlines or visual impact.”
To further enhance flexibility for complex installations and creative applications, Epson is also introducing its new H-Series lenses with a throw ratio coverage (0.35–11:1).
Designed with transportation and installation in mind, the projector’s chassis is designed to balance power with a compact, deployment-friendly form factor. Its hermetically sealed optical engine and filterless design with IP6X-rated dust resistance is made to reduce maintenance and service disruptions in hard-to-access environments.
For permanent deployment and evolving AV ecosystems, a newly integrated Intel SDM slot offers expandable connectivity with support for AVoIP and media player modules to give integrators and creators freedom to build around current infrastructure and workflows. Additionally, Epson software tools and NFC quick read/write configuration via Epson Projector Configuration Tool simplify setup, monitoring and management across single- and multi-projector systems.
New H-Series Lens Family
Alongside the EB-XQ2030B, Epson is expanding its professional lens lineup with the introduction of the new H-Series lenses – a unified family designed for modern installation demands. The new portfolio delivers throw ratio coverage from 0.35 to 11:1, combining four all-new lenses and six updated models. Two new ultra-short throw options expand creative possibilities: one featuring an L-shaped lens designed for 90-degree projection onto off-axis surfaces, and a straight UST option with a 0.39 throw ratio, designed for rear projection and tight spaces. A newly added zoom capability in the ultra-short throw range provides more flexibility, while long throw options support image delivery across expansive venues. Combined, the range allows floors, ceilings and unconventional surfaces to display with consistent brightness and color across multi-projector setups.
