W Welcome1 - Welcome Your EPSON® PowerLite® projector is an ultra-bright, portable projector that lets you project brilliant, full-color images and video onto a large screen. Projected with up to 3500 ANSI lumens (PowerLite 8200i) or 2400 lumens (PowerLite 9100i), your presentations will be bright enough to be clearly seen with the room lights on. Images are displayed in full color (16,770,000 colors) at a resolution of 1024 × 768 pixels (PowerLite 8200i) or 1280 × 1024 pixels (PowerLite 9100i). The projector supports a wide variety of video inputs, with resolutions up to 1600 × 1200. Built-in features include smooth motion technology, to produce the highest quality images, and digital noise reduction to reduce “color noise” and improve contrast. You can connect the projector simultaneously to four image sources: one or two computers or workstation sources, plus two or three video sources, such as a VCR, DVD player, camcorder, digital camera, or laser disc player. You can also connect audio for up to three image sources. The projector’s two speakers employ a built-in 3D sound system for rich, powerful audio output. Your projector features a patented SizeWise ™ chip for support of VGA, SVGA, XGA, SXGA, and UXGA output. No matter what type of computer output is used, the result is a full-size video image of outstanding clarity.

The buttons on the remote control allow you to turn the projector on and off, zoom in on your image, adjust the volume, mute the sound and image, switch from one computer or video source to another, and access the projector’s built-in menus. If you connect the main cable and mouse cable, you can use the remote control as a wireless mouse; then you can continue your presentation as you move around the room. Supported Computers and Video Sources The projector supports a wide range of computers and workstations: IBM ® compatible PCs and laptops, Apple® Macintosh,® Power Macintosh ™ series (including G3 and G4 systems), PowerBook® computers, iMac ™ and iBook™ series, and workstations such as the Sun ® SPARCstation.™ The video source can be HDTV, NTSC, PAL, or SECAM. The projector automatically senses the video format, which can be composite video, S-Video, or component video. See page 95 for details on supported computers and video formats.
