Epson showcased its latest projection technology at InfoComm 2026, with a focus on high-brightness 3LCD projectors and expanding deployment flexibility. Chris Tegu from Epson presented the company’s new 30,000 lumen 3-chip 3LCD projector, which accepts 4K sources and is designed to be significantly more compact than typical units in its class. At just 76 pounds, it is roughly half the weight and volume of standard 30,000 lumen projectors, making it only slightly larger than Epson’s 20,000 lumen models. The company demonstrated this brightness by using two of these projectors to create a 21-foot wide ultra-wide screen display. The unit also features an Intel SDM slot, enabling integration with third-party media transport systems from partners like ZeeVee and Brompton. epson.com

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

Epson introduced a comprehensive new interchangeable lens family designed to work across multiple projector platforms, including the new 30,000 lumen model and existing 20,000 lumen units. The lenses are manufactured in Japan and feature an aspherical design with a dimpled surface to maximize edge-to-edge sharpness. The lineup includes options such as a 90-degree ultra-short throw lens and a standard short throw lens. A key advantage of this lens family is cross-platform compatibility, allowing users to retain their lens investments when upgrading between different Epson projector chassis.
The booth featured several applied projection demonstrations, including projection mapping on physical prints to create high-contrast layered imagery. Epson displayed an interactive art installation powered by a 16,000 lumen projector with motion tracking, as well as a theater setup simulating Cirque du Soleil’s Berlin show using a combination of 4K PQ2220 projectors and three blended 16,000 lumen units. The company also demonstrated its 4K Enhancement technology using a physical before-and-after slider rig, showing the resolution improvement over standard WUXGA on an EB-1475Ui projector.
Upcoming fixed-lens ultra-short throw projectors were also on display, targeting gallery-style and close-proximity installations. These models are expected to deliver around 5,000 lumens with 4K enhancement and 3LCD color performance, allowing presenters to stand close to the screen without casting shadows. Additional fixed-lens models in the lineup scale up to 8,000 lumens, with a newly introduced 5,000 lumen chassis designed for compact, high-brightness deployment in corporate and education environments.
Epson highlighted broader integration capabilities across its fixed-lens projector range, including native support for Apple AirPlay casting. This allows iOS devices such as iPads to connect directly to the projectors for interactive presentations and content sharing. The company also demonstrated ceiling projection using the new 90-degree lens on the 30,000 lumen platform, repurposing internal lens glass movement as a visual element. The overarching theme of the booth was expanding the range of display scenarios possible with projection, from building exteriors to interactive gallery spaces.
