Epson announced a brand-new line of Lifestudio projectors, which the company points out, are the world’s first projectors to feature Sound by Bose technology.
From personal and portable to ultra short throw, Epson says, every Lifestudio projector is engineered to support today’s media consumption through features that include a custom-designed audio system developed in conjunction with Bose. The products also incorporate the latest Epson 3LCD projection technologies and Google TV for easy access to a wealth of streaming media. The company also plans to introduce its Epson Projection Studio app for iOS and Android devices that it says makes it easy to create and project personalized user experiences.
“Epson Lifestudio is purposefully crafted to bring people together – helping to capture, share and relive life’s most meaningful moments. Because the best memories aren’t just seen, they’re shared,” comments Rodrigo Catalan, group product manager at Epson America, Inc.
“Lifestudio introduces more than just innovative technology; collaborating with the Bose team, Lifestudio projectors represents both incredible visuals and detailed audio for a truly immersive entertainment experience that brings people together.”
Lifestudio Projectors Reproduce 4K and HDR Content
Here is a closer look at the Lifestudio family of projectors:
Epson Lifestudio Pop and Flex Series
The Lifestudio personal and portable lifestyle projectors include four models – Lifestudio Flex, Flex Plus, Pop, and Pop Plus. Residing in the standardized personal and portable projector weight classes, these solutions combine modern design with Epson’s all-new 3-chip 3LCD Triple Core Engine technology to produce bright 4K PRO-UHD or Full HD images up to 150 inches, depending on the model. The global manufacturer points out the products leverage Sound by Bose technology to deliver clear audio from a small, compact package with no additional speakers required. As part of the Bose sound built into the products, the Lifestudio products offer four specially tuned sound modes that users can choose from to match their AV preferences. According to Epson, the UST projectors’ EpiqSense 2.0 auto-setup provides focus, color and alignment in seconds. The products can be used for sports, streaming, broadcast, and gaming using features like Auto Low Latency mode on the Flex Plus and Pop Plus for epic races, co-ops battles and more.
Epson Lifestudio Grand
The Lifestudio Grand Ultra Short Throw projector was developed to deliver high-level visuals and audio via Sound by Bose technology. Sitting just inches from the wall, the company emphasizes the Grand model projects images as large as 120 inches. Featuring 4K PRO-UHD with HDR10 picture processing, the company notes the UST projector is powered by its advanced 3-chip 3LCD technology. Like the other Lifestudio products, the Grand also features four specially tuned sound modes to allow users to choose their preferred audio setting.
“For over 60 years, delivering incredible audio experiences has been at the heart of everything we do at Bose,” adds Nick Smith, president of the audio technology business and chief strategy officer at Bose. “We’re thrilled to partner with Epson and bring our audio expertise to their Lifestudio lineup. By combining their immersive viewing experience with our exceptional sound, we’re taking home entertainment to the next level – and I can’t wait for customers everywhere to experience it.”
