The Epson BrightLink 475Wi Interactive Projector with Mount is such an unusually powerful communications tool it's hard to decide where to start. But we'll give it a shot.
First let's go over the usual stuff. It's got 2600 lumens of brightness and a 3000:1 contrast ratio. So, it's got plenty of projection power to show a big bright picture in a normally lit room.
The 475Wi can handle input in the NTSC, PAL and SECAM TV standards and its 100 to 240 V AC power supply rounds out its international capabilities.
This projector comes with a bunch of programs (both PC and Macintosh versions). This high-performance, network-ready projector and interactive pens integrate interactive functionality into one machine without the constraints or expense of an interactive whiteboard. Annotate from any source. Once you've installed the software on your computer you can actually write on your presentations as you give them using special inkless interactive pens (two pens are included.). You don't need any special kind of electronic white board. Use a standard white board, blackboard, a wall-even wood paneling in a pinch.
In education, in business, in any situation where you need to capture and hold your audience's attention in a way that's both practical and imaginative you can't do better than the Epson BrightLink 475Wi Interactive Projector.
