Introduction
The compact, lightweight EPSON EMP-7100/5100 Projector allows you to
project XGA (EMP-7100), SVGA (EMP-5100) full-color images and video
onto a large screen for presentations. The projector can connect simultaneously
to three image sources: two PC or Apple
®
Macintosh
®
computer image sources
plus on video source such as a video tape deck, camcorder, or digital camera.
Audio can also be connected for each image source.
Images are displayed in XGA (EMP-7100) and SVGA (EMP-5100) compat-
ible full color (16,670,000 colors) at a resolution of 1024 x 768 (EMP-
7100), 800 x 600 (EMP-5100) pixels. The projector produces bright images
that can be easily seen in rooms with enough light to take notes. Audio can
be produced from the projector’s 2W+2W speakers, which employ a built-in
Spatializer
®
for output that is rich and powerful. An external speaker can also
be connected when further amplification is required.
A totally new AVTSS™ (Automatic Video Tracking and Synchronization
Sensing, patent pending) provides automatic set-up of image from a
computer with a touch of the AUTO button for quick and easy projection
of beautiful images every time.
The projector can be controlled using a hand-held remote control unit,
with menus being provided for image source switching and image adjust-
ment. The remote control can also be used as a wireless mouse to control
mouse operations on the computer screen during presentations. The ELP
LINK II™ software that comes with the projector provides a number of
add-on features that are designed to make presentations more effective.
The projector also features a new patented AIrR™ (Advanced Image real-time
Resizer) chip which supports XGA (EMP-7100), VGA~XGA (EMP-5100)
computer output, as well as VGA and SXGA output. Whichever type of compu-
ter output is used, the result is a full-size video image of outstanding clarity.
The EMP-7100/5100 Projector supports IBM-compatible PCs and
laptops, as well as Apple
®
Macintosh
®
, Power Macintosh and PowerBook
computers. The video source can be NTSC, PAL or SECAM in composite
