Epson UK Press Release

Epson introduces the EMP-S4, a versatile 3LCD video projector that provides office and classroom users with improved brightness and greater performance at an affordable price.

08th June 2006 – Epson’s EMP-S4 projector offers sharp, clear images and outstanding brightness.  It features 1800 ANSI lumens, a contrast ratio of 500:1, an A/V mute slide and quick start up/shut down time. The projector also comes with the latest in 3LCD technology, ensuring smooth, natural images and excellent colour reproduction. With a native SVGA resolution and the highest level of brightness is the result of Epson’s Twin Optimise Reflection Lamp (E-TORL) technology - a high performance lens that gathers and projects light efficiently, eliminates light-leakage and minimises light diffraction. This means that the EMP-S4 can be used in the brightest of environments, without compromising image quality.

The compact design and easy-to-use function keys mean that anyone can use the EMP-S4 with ease. The projector has a quick start-up time of just four seconds and an Instant Off feature so no cool down time is needed. The video projector comes with its own carry bag and at a weight of just 2.6kg, can be moved effortlessly between meetings or classrooms.

The innovative A/V mute slide feature allows you to stop and resume projection mid-presentation. This, combined with a fan noise of just 30db, prevents the audience from being distracted and allows the focus to remain where it should be – on the presenter.  Furthermore, the A/V mute slide effectively protects the lens from scratches or damage during transportation and storage.

Even in tight spaces the Epson EMP-S4 continues to impress, projecting a 60” diagonal screen from as close as 1.7m, without compromising the image quality.  With a vertical keystone correction of 30°, the projector can be installed in a wide range of different environments. The EMP-S4 also deploys a single foot stand at the front of the unit for height adjustment, making it easy to set up.

A “Source Search” button allows the EMP-S4 to instantly recognise signals so it can project from a computer or a variety of devices at the touch of a button.  The projector is also compatible with higher resolution computers (up to SXGA+), giving greater flexibility for use in even the highest definition applications.

Stuart Davis, Business Manager for video projectors at Epson UK Ltd. says, “The Epson EMP-S4 is a projector solution tailored for the education market and mobile professionals; designed for ease of use, affordability and portability. The launch of this projector reflects Epson’s commitment to the SVGA segment – a market we are proudly leading.”
