The PowerLite S11 and PowerLite X12 projectors are low-cost classroom projectors with flexible setup features and versatile features.
Projector manufacturer Epson announced two new affordable products to its projector line this week. The new products are designed especially for schools and other education environments. The PowerLite S11†and†PowerLite X12†start at $449 and deliver enhanced connectivity, increased brightness, flexible setup features, and extended lamp life.
“Regardless of today’s tough economic times, schools are still required to push the technology envelope to better enhance learning in the classroom,” says†Sara Kim, Epson’s associate product manager. “The PowerLite S11 and X12 enable teachers to show vibrant images at high brightness with increased reliability, ease-of-use, and connectivity that classrooms need while staying within tight budgets.”
The PowerLite S11†offers 2,600 lumens of color and white light output with SVGA resolution. The PowerLite X12†delivers 2,800 lumens color and white light output with XGA resolution. The projectors deliver an advanced feature set, including RS-232 support for connecting to an AV control device and USB Plug ‘n Play for instantly projecting video and audio from a PC or Mac computer via a USB connection. The projectors offer easy setup with horizontal and vertical keystone correction.
Additional features of the PowerLite S11 and X12 include:
- Setup Flexibility†– Horizontal and vertical keystone correction (? 30 degrees) and Quick Corner, which enables an image to be moved independently for a perfectly rectangular image.
- Extended Lamp Life — Epson’s exclusive E-TORL lamp technology helps extend lamp life to up to 5,000 hours in economy mode.
- Convenient Control†– Direct Power On and Off and Instant On/Off for quick and easy control. A/V Mute Slide instantly turns off the sound and images.
