The latest PowerLite models offer wall- and ceiling-mount capabilities and integration with the BrightLink Solo 3 interactivity module.
Projector manufacturer Epson introduced four PowerLite models this month, all of which will be made generally available in November. The PowerLite 420, 425W, 430, and 435W offer SMBs and academic institutions bright and affordable short throw projector options. In addition, the company rolled out BrightLink Solo 3, a new optional interactive module that turns any flat projection surface into an interactive solution.
“Not every classroom’s needs are the same, so schools require flexible projector solutions that can be installed in multiple ways and offer a range of connectivity features and future proofing options, while still being affordable,” says Sara Kim, Epson’s associate product manager. “The PowerLite 420, 425W, 430, and 435W short throw projectors can be paired with Epson’s short throw wall mount or a universal ceiling mount, which can both be used with BrightLink Solo 3 when interactivity is required, for a cost effective solution for teachers.”
The new PowerLite models are ideal for teachers in need of a wall- or ceiling-mounted short-throw projector. †Each PowerLite model offers:
- Connectivity options that include HDMI.
