Epson launches cost effective projectors for education sector in Middle East

Epson, worldwide leader in the projector market, has announced the Middle East launch of the EB-S9, EB-X9 and EB-W9 – a range of affordable projectors that enable schools to stay within budget without compromising on presentation quality. Designed to enhance education, all three projectors deliver an outstanding picture thanks to Epson’s 3LCD technology. A range of smart features make them easy for teachers to set up and use, helping to make the most of valuable lesson time. 

Offering schools a choice of resolution, the EB-S9 and EB-X9 are SVGA (Super Video Graphic Array) and XGA (Extended Graphics Array) respectively. The WXGA EB-W9 displays everything that is on a widescreen PC without needing any adjustments. 

Powered by Epson’s 3LCD technology, the projectors boast a Colour Light Output (CLO) that is equally as high as the white light output, which means lesson presentations are brought to life with vivid yet natural colours. The high brightness of 2,500 lumens enables teachers to leave the lights on so students can take notes. 

Setting up is quick and easy with no warm-up time, allowing teachers to spend more time teaching. For a perfect picture, any distortion is easily fixed with manual vertical keystone correction, and a large image can be projected from a short distance. This flexibility enables adjustment to suit most classroom sizes, including the smallest. 

A single USB cable combines both display and mouse control for PC and Mac, while sound is taken care of with the built-in 1W speaker. The monitor-out provides both projector and PC screen visuals so teachers do not have to turn around to see the screen when presenting. 

To protect schools’ investment, the projectors have a number of security features to deter theft, including a padlock and security cable hole, Kensington lock and password protection. 

Khalil El-Dalu, General Manager, Epson Middle East, said: “With governments across the region increasing their focus on the education sector, academic institutions are making significant investments in technology to enhance the teaching and learning experience. This series of projectors are designed specifically to address the requirements of the education sector with its high quality image and an array of smart features for teachers.”
