Epson  EB-PU1008b Projector

4K Enhancement (also known as 4Ke)

Epson 4K Enhancement (also known as 4Ke) is a proprietary pixel-shifting technology that delivers image quality exceeding Full HD by effectively doubling the resolution of the EB-PU1008b's native panel. Instead of using a native 4K chip, Epson's 3LCD projectors shift each pixel diagonally by 0.5 pixels. This technique allows the projector to accept true 4K UHD content and upscale non-4K sources for sharper, more detailed visuals.

• Pixel-shifting engine: Doubles the pixel count by offsetting each pixel diagonally, simulating 4K resolution from a 1080p base
• Content compatibility: Accepts native 4K signals via HDMI and processes them with dedicated resolution enhancement and HDR processors
• Visual performance: Combined with Epson's 3LCD engine, it delivers high brightness, accurate colour, and smooth gradations without rainbow effects
• Installation flexibility: Available in both home cinema and large-venue projectors, enabling high-resolution projection in diverse environments.

While not "true 4K" in the native sense (which requires 8.3 million discrete pixels), Epson's 4Ke is widely praised for producing crisp, lifelike images that rival native 4K projectors in many real-world viewing scenarios.

Powered by 3LCD technology and laser optical engine, the Epson EB-PU1008b is capable of producing White Light and Colour Light Output of up to 8,500 lumens in WUXGA resolution, delivering captivating images in virtually any venue.

The newly designed laser light source and advanced electrostatic filter deliver 20,000 hours of maintenance-free use and consistent performance for total peace of mind during important presentations

High Dynamic Range (HDR)

Supports HDR10 and Hybrid Log-Gamma, which expands dynamic range for image output across a broad tonal range and minimises washed-out highlights or excessive shadow in dark areas.

Deep Black Contrast

The projector delivers deep black contrast ratios up to 2,500,000:1. With Epson’snnovative laser light source, you get remarkably high contrast levels during full-black scenes. A special optical device is used to adjust polarization and reproduce truly dark shades of black for projection venues that require the most deep black such as theatres.

Interchangeable lenses

Just as a specific scenario dictates which camera lens is most appropriate to use – the same is true with different projection environments. That's why we've designed our projector body to accommodate different lenses. There are 11 interchangeable Epson lenses available, covering short to long-throw projection.

Powered Lens Shift, Zoom and Focus

The motorised lens shift covers a wide range, giving you a great deal of flexibility when installing the projector. A newly adopted stepping motor lets you make highly precise adjustments when employing edge blending, stacking and other techniques. Adjustments can be made via remote control or over a network, enhancing usability even for ceiling-mounted projectors.

Multi-directional Projection

Can be rotated 360° in any direction — horizontally, vertically and diagonally — ideal for a wide range of applications, such as ceiling or floor projection.

Lens Position Memory

Up to 10 settings can be stored in the projector memory, including shift positions, focus and projection sizes.

Scaling

Make the most of the image content’s native aspect ratio using a scaling feature. Without requiring a supercomputer, source content from a splitter output can be recombined automatically using the scaling feature of two projectors.

Multiple Control System Compatibility

Compatible with Creston, AMX and PJ Link control systems for convenient system integration with various third-party components for centralized management of multiple projectors at less cost.

Art-Net Lighting Control System

Supports Art-Net lighting control systems, making the projector ideal for use in live performances in stage or theatre. Control the projector with an Art-Net compatible lighting desk or control system to synchronise with in-house lighting effects. Image brightness can be controlled as low as 8% to the maximum 100%, giving ultimate fade-in and fade-out effects for stage and theatre shows and performances..

Incredible HDBaseT and Diverse Connectivity

Connect with virtually any system including HDBaseT, SDI, DVI-D, HDMI, VGA, BNC and LAN connectivity. Cutting-edge HDBaseT technology means just one single CAT-5/6 cable carries Full HD video, audio, network and control commands up to 100 meters to accommodate large venues. No need for additional cables, signal repeaters or added labour
