Epson announces 12 PowerLite, BrightInk projector solution models

Epson, a projector display firm, has announced 12 projector display models as part of its PowerLite and BrightInk projector solution lines, according to a press release. The models all leverage the Epson proprietary 3-chip 3LCD technology and aim to optimize classroom and meeting space experiences.

"Our meeting and education spaces have evolved drastically, and it has become apparent that today's displays need to be large and wide enough to accommodate all aspects of viewing, sharing and interactivity for better in person and remote participant engagement," Remi Del Mar, senior product manager for Epson America Inc., said in the release.

"With these latest lamp-free laser displays, Epson implemented important points of innovation to deliver larger displays and make collaboration and engagement seamless. This includes tools for easier one-on-one student device sharing along with multi-device connectivity," Del Mar added.

MSolutions announces 4x1 HDBaseT switch

MSolutions, an AV solutions firm, has announced its 4x1 HDBaseT switch, developed in partnership with the IPMX community (which sets standards for AV over IP); the device "works in concert with HDBaseT to IPMX gateway products to bring cameras, projectors and other HDBaseT equipment onto AV over IP networks," according to a press release.

""If you want to use an IP network to bring laptop or camera signals from one room to another, our product helps customers achieve that without replacing all your HDBaseT gear with AV over IP equipment," Ariel Marcus, CEO at MSolutions, said in the release. "By simply adding our product and some AV over IP equipment, facilities can still utilize everything in their HDBaseT rooms and more broadly scale their HDBaseT asset across facilities of any size. This will ultimately reduce a lot of friction for integrators, IT managers and end users alike."
