Epson launches the new all-in-one ‘EMP-TWD3’
MUMBAI: Epson, which deals in data projectors, has announced the launch of the Epson EMP-TWD3. This is Epson’s first combo projector to feature a built-in DVD player with a pair of integrated stereo speakers.
Designed as the home projector, the Epson EMP-TWD3’s cubical form factor is devoid of any unsightly wires typically found in a home entertainment set up. Based on the home entertainment all-in-one concept, the projector is even handy enough to be carried around, asserts an official release.
The integrated optical disc player plays multiple video formats including DVD, Video CD and Super Video CD. It also spins audio CDs, MP3s and WMA files. For optimal sound reproduction, the two dynamic 10W speakers are rear facing and are fully capable of delivering rich natural sounds. The player also reads JPEG images and can present them as slide shows.
Aside from just playing video and music data from disc sources, the Epson EMP-TWD3 has several ports which allow to connect external devices such as laptops and media devices such as tuners.
The projector is fitted with a short focus lens capable of a 1.5X wide zoom, so it fits easily into smaller living spaces. It has a 1200 ANSI lumens, a high 1000:1 contrast ratio, and Epson-Twin Optimise Reflection Lamp (Epson’s E-TORL).
Equipped with the new Epson Cinema Filter, the Epson EMP-TWD3 applies optical adjustments automatically to ensure precise colour re-production. The vertical and horizontal lens shift function allowing a shift of images without any distortion, even if the projector is not placed squarely to the screen, adds the release.
The projector is available from October 2006 at a MRP of Rs. 99,400.
