Epson is turning heads again as they release another innovative example of digital projectors for the education market. Epson continues to raise the bar for in-class projector systems for the K-12 market and beyond.
Epson is releasing the BrightLink 436Wi Interactive WXGA 3LCD Projector, which is to be the newest in its line of BrightLink projectors. The portable, interactive projector uses interactive pen touchscreen options with built-in annotation technology to project images, projects and more onto any existing whiteboard, wall, or other light-colored surface.
According to THE Journal, which highlights technology advances in education, the BrightLink 436WI Projector lets teachers and students use their PCs, tablets, document cameras and more to interact with the projected image. “Like other models in the BrightLink series, the 436Wi provides interactive capabilities (similar to an interactive whiteboard) without the need for a computer.”
This is an exciting feature for schools that may not have its teachers equipped with interactive devices. Teachers can connect a laptop or tablet to the BrightLink projector to help to create audio-visual solutions in the classroom. Teachers can share content from their iPads, tablets, smartphones, document cameras and more, then use the pens to annotate directly on the projected images.
Portability of the projector is also an important feature, allowing the BrightLink 436WI to be moved from room to room as necessary. There are no PC drivers to install, and setup is easy, with auto calibration. The 436WI comes complete with built-in 16 W speakers, microphone jack and HDMI connectivity. It’s another sparkling innovation from Epson that we at CCS Presentation Systems are proud to offer to our customers.
Additionally, Epson also has other new projector products — the PowerLite® W16 and W16SK – are based on active 3D technology and passive 3D technology, respectively. This means that students will gain access to brighter digital presentations and projections. Active 3D provides two different pictures on the screen to create a 3D effect. Passive 3D separates the pictures to direct them to each eye. Each style is used in different ways in the industry.
Both systems deliver brighter colors, Epson says, allowing for 3D content to be easily viewed in typical, well-lit classroom settings. That’s three times brighter than most competitive projectors.
The Epson projectors also feature easy setup and connection options for school teachers and school administrators. Plus, Epson is making the two projectors quite affordable. The PowerLite W16 will retail for $849 and the PowerLite W16SK for $1,899. Both projectors will be available for viewing at the FETC education resources trade show in Orlando, Fla., Jan. 28-31, 2013.
