HighlightsEpson EB-585wi projectors are based on 3-chip LCD technology for amazing colour, incredible detail and solid reliability. 3LCD's 3-chip architecture dedicates an entire chip to process each primary colour – red, green and blue, continuously. Unlike single-chip technology that delivers colour sequentially, you get full-time colour. The result is vibrant, realistic imagery and video all delivered with 3LCD's true-to-life colour.
Uses 3LCD Engines that have no colour wheel with a white segment and therefore don't force a tradeoff between white and colour brightness.
With brightness up to 3300 lumens (selected models), the screen is easily viewed from anywhere in the classroom, even without dimming the lights.
The ultra-short throw allows the projector to be positioned closer to the screen for reduced shadowing. The EB-585wi can fill an 80-inch screen from just 47cm away.
You no longer need to worry about obscuring the information on screen with shadows cast by your body.
Even when you stand directly in front of the screen, the light rarely reaches your face. With no glare in your eyes, you'll find it far more pleasant and stress-free to be out front when using the projector.
These Ultra Short Throw projectors are designed to blend in with office or classroom surroundings, even when wall mounted. The setting plate and cable cover keep cables out of sight.
Not only does the wide-ranging interface correspond with conventional analogue sources, it is compatible with two types of HDMI sources as well for digital connections.
One of the HDMI input terminals is MHL (Mobile High Definition Link) certified for mirroring of Android and other mobile devices.
Using the optional wireless card in conjunction with Epson's iProjection app, you can also display and control content from your iPad, iPhone, iPod and Android devices.

When dealing with multiple projectors, it is now possible to copy the OSD menu settings for things like user logos or colour modes and transfer the settings to multiple machines via USB/network. This function will help reduce set-up and installation time.
Epson's original mounting plate has been re-designed for improved installation and set-up. For fine adjustment, all six axes can be individually corrected using the adjustment dials on the plate. Improvements on the mounting plate include larger cable cutouts, center line indicator and ruler on both sides of the mounting arm.
This newly added function automatically adjusts image brightness according to ambient light levels and image content. This feature helps reduce the load on the lamp and conserves electricity.
These projectors can also project vertically downward, enabling users to transform any table top into a viewing surface. By utilising the optional ELP-MB29 table mount, an ordinary table becomes an exciting surface.
The long 10,000 hours lamp life# saves time and money by reducing the frequency of costly lamp replacements. When you do need to replace the lamp, it will only cost $79 inc GST.
Periodic cleaning allows Epson projectors to be used for much longer intervals. The maintenance cycle for the air filter is approximately 5000 hours.
Epson's PC Interactive software – Easy Interactive Tool v. 3.0 software has been enhanced and now features more user friendly tools, including:
1. Home screen with quick access buttons – for desktop annotation, opening files and accessing the web browser
2. Application shortcuts panel – for accessing your favourite or commonly used applications
5. Video recording function through Epson's document cameras (sold separately)
6. Intuitive enlarge image functionality
7. Drawings or annotations can be saved as PDF, JPEG, BMP and PNG formats. In addition, the updated EIT v. 3.0 software now also features an original file format (EIT) that allows re-opening and more editing options for saved documents.
The higher response speed and accuracy makes drawing as immediate and responsive as using a pen on a whiteboard.
Immediate and accurate calibration, all with the push of one button!
Since no drivers are necessary, you don't have to set up your PC before using the projector. Simply connect any PC to start using the interactive functions.
(Windows / Linux only. Driver installation is required for Mac)
The new interactive pens have been re-designed to make it easier to hold and write than with a conventional pen.
Now also comes with side button with selectable functions such as open tool bar; switch between mouse and pen or switch between pen and eraser.
The Multi-PC Projection feature allows a network of up to 50 PCs to be connected to a single projector. The newest version of this feature allows a host PC to act as a Moderator who can then select up to 4 of the connected devices to be projected on the screen. It is also possible to annotate on the screen image. The Moderator function allows the user to control what image is projected on the screen and prevent tampering.
Two people can write simultaneously on the interactive area using 2 pens.
Basic projector operation (power ON, source change, volume up/down, A/V mute, etc) can be done by simply clicking the icons shown on the new operation toolbar. Now there’s no need to look for the remote control, when the projector can be easily operated from the screen!
Interactive functionality is also available without a PC connection, so drawing on the projected screen is now possible when connected to other devices such as document camera or DVD player etc. Even when there is no input source, you can annotate on the screen like a whiteboard.
These projectors can also project vertically downward, enabling users to transform any table top into an interactive surface By utilising the optional ELP-MB29 table mount, an ordinary table becomes an engaging platform for interaction and collaboration.
