New Epson Ultra Short-Throw Laser Projectors Aimed at Education and Corporate

Epson is rolling out two new ultra short-throw, 1080p Full HD laser projectors at InfoComm 2019, June 12-14, in Orlando. The BrightLink 1485Fi and BrightLink 1480Fi are designed  as productivity and collaboration tools for classrooms and meeting rooms, turning any flat surface into an instant, ultra-wide interactive digital whiteboard.

Each offering 5,000 lumens of equal color and white brightness, the new BrightLink models offer either a 100-inch 16:9 or new ultra-wide 120-inch 16:6 display, delivering up to 4,732 square inches of images. The ultra short-throw BrightLink 1485Fi and 1480Fi provide one-step calibration of touch and interactive pens and a wall mounted control panel allows for power control, source switching and supports HDBaseT connectivity.

“Epson continues to provide unbeatable laser solutions for enhanced productivity and interactivity in education and corporate environments,” says Tom Piche, product manager, projectors, Epson America, Inc. “As all-in-one productivity tools, the new BrightLink models provide a seamless digital experience. Offering big, bright images in high ambient light environments, the interactive laser displays inspire creativity and offer better readability for increased engagement and more collaborative experiences.”

Featuring enterprise-level security via integrated wireless networking, users can save, print and email content directly from the interactive laser display, and wirelessly share content simultaneously from multiple devices with Miracast. In addition, users can connect two networked BrightLink 1485Fi models together for sharing one interactive canvas.

The new BrightLink models include a one-year subscription to SMART Learning Suite for education customers.

 The Epson BrightLink 1485Fi and BrightLink 1480Fi will be available in late October 2019. The BrightLink 1480Fi is the replacement model for existing BrightLink users, as it is compatible with current BrightLink mount systems. The BrightLink 1485Fi requires a new mount system and intended for new BrightLink users. The interactive laser displays come with a limited three-year warranty with next business day replacement, including free shipping both ways.
