Epson is the No. 1 projector manufacturer worldwide for the 15th consecutive time

Epson has been named the world’s No. 1 projector manufacturer for 15 consecutive years by Futuresource Consulting*. The milestone demonstrates the company’s market leadership and success in the visual imaging industry.

The latest findings from Futuresource indicate that Epson has the largest global market share for projectors of 500 lumens and above, at 32.1% for 2015, an increase from 29.4% in 2014. For the home projectors segment, Epson also achieved the largest market share for 500 lumens and above worldwide for 2015, which stands at 35.1%. Within Southeast Asia, Epson continues to maintain market leadership as well, with market share increasing to 28% in 2015, up from 24% in 2014.

Epson has a broad range of projectors that caters to different sectors, from enterprise projectors for classroom and small and medium meeting rooms, to interactive projectors for education and enterprise sectors, as well as high-brightness projectors for large venue installations, rentals and staging venues.

At the heart of Epson’s projectors is 3LCD technology, which use three chips to deliver vibrant and true-to-life images with up to three times the colour brightness compared to one-chip digital light processing (DLP) projectors in the market. Single-chip DLP projectors use a rotating colour wheel that spins at a rapid speed, displaying colours sequentially, which can result in colour break-up also known as the “rainbow effect”.

“We are continuously investing in innovative products and technologies to strengthen our position as market leader, and to create new value for our customers worldwide. We are proud to achieve this position, and as a company, will continue to drive innovations to create new visual experiences for our customers,” said Tan May Lin, Epson Singapore’s General Manager (Sales, Marketing & Customer Service Division).

The company launched its next-generation EB-G7000 high brightness projectors for large venues in early June. The EB-G7000 series deliver high quality images and operate on low noise, making them ideal for meeting rooms, lecture halls, and museums among other venues.

The projectors are equipped with the latest 4K enhancements and deliver brighter and more vibrant images at up to 8,000 lumens for both colour brightness and white brightness**. Compared to competitive one-chip models, these projectors offer three times higher colour brightness***.

An Epson first, the projectors come with motorised lenses, enabling highly precise adjustments when employing edge blending and other features such as curved screens, and superb flexibility in projector placements. The EB-G7000 series also feature the world’s first zero-offset ultra-short throw lens with a throw ratio of 0.35, useful for environments with extremely limited lens-to-screen distances. With this, projections can be made onto 100" screens from as close 43cm away.

The EB-G7000 series’ super-resolution technology delivers sharp images even when projecting low-resolution content. The projectors come with dynamic projection capabilities including advanced built-in edge blending, projection on wide curved and corner spaces, as well as point correction, amongst other innovations.

By combining Epson’s proprietary C2Fine (Crystal Clear Fine) Technology, inorganic LCD panels and Epson’s optimised cooling system, the EB-G7000 series can operate 24x7 without requiring rest periods.
