When you need to project huge images from short distances you need the Epson 410W Multimedia Projector. It's a "short throw" projector, meaning it doesn't have to be far from its screen to project a surprisingly large image. From less than two feet away it can project an image 60 inches across (measured diagonally) in its native 16:10 aspect ratio. From just four feet away it can project an image nine feet diagonally across.
You can ceiling mount the 410W close to a projection screen and largely eliminate the problem of the presenter's shadow obscuring part of the picture. You can use the projector's built in ten watt speaker or connect to external amplified speakers. And you can display closed captioning from programming sources that support it. The 410W is a total communicator. It's even ready to communicate over your LAN through its RJ45 jack. You can manage a group of 410Ws from a central location.
The 410W is compatible with worldwide TV and electrical standards. It's compatible with several flavors of NTSC and PAL and even the less common SECAM system. And its power supply can handle electrical power from 100 to 240 Volts at 50 or 60 Hz.
So whether you plan to install it permanently for front or rear projection or travel the world with it, the 410W can give you the big picture in not so big places.
