   Normal Mode   DICOM Simulation Mode
Improved video with 3:2 and 2:2 
pull-down options
3:2 pull-down creates 60 frames per second and 2:2 pull-down 
creates 48 frames per second from 24 frames.  
• 3:2 pull-down: The image is smoother. 
•  2:2 pull-down: One frame length is the same as film. It is ideal 
for movies.
Test patterns
The PowerLite Pro G5550 also includes four test patterns 
with precise setup features, including detecting distortion, 
checking linearity, color reproduction and bleeding, and DICOM 
simulation mode.
   Standard   Cross-hatch
   Color Bars   Grayscale
Full-featured performance
DICOM simulation mode
DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine) is a
standard for handling, storing, printing and transmitting medical
imaging information. The projector’s DICOM Simulation Mode 
enables users to reproduce images with an advanced grayscale 
level that simulates DICOM Part 14. This mode is ideal for viewing 
grayscale medical images, such as X-rays, for training and 
educational purposes 
2. 
6-axis color adjustment
For special projection material such as high-quality photographs  
or artwork, users can adjust the hue, saturation and brightness for 
six colors: RGBCMY (Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow). 
						

							powerLite pro G5550 product Specification
Full networkability
EPSON networked projectors can also be accessed from your 
browser via an internal web page. Whether you assign a static IP 
address or enable DHCP, the projector becomes accessible once 
it’s integrated in your network. The internal web page lets you 
control items such as network configuration, projector settings and 
e-mail alerts.
Message broadcasting
This innovative feature enables you to broadcast customized 
images/alerts over the network for announcements or instructions. 
Messages can be sent to up to 1024 projectors simultaneously 
and will overwrite the current screen content if the projector is 
being used, unless this function is disabled by the presenter. If the 
projector is off, message broadcasting will turn the projector on 
and then display the message.
Advanced control, monitoring and communication
Epson’s EasyMP® monitor tool
If you are searching for a solution that gives you control over 
your time, EPSON network projectors with Easy Management 
capabilities can help. EPSON networked projectors provide 
built-in remote access, with no licensing fees, to EPSON monitor 
software. These features give you added control, with the ability to 
troubleshoot and monitor all EPSON networkable projectors from 
any computer over a wired or wireless Ethernet network.
Additional features to assist administrators/Help Desk
• Remote access and control through the network
• Remote monitoring of up to 1024 EPSON networked projectors
• Simultaneously view status, including input sources, power  
   on/off, lamp life hours and more
• Preventative maintenance features, including temperature levels       
   and error alerts
• Schedule filter and lamp time settings
• E-mail notification (SMTP) to send alerts to your handheld device
• Enterprise SNMP plug-in available
network projection — content over IP
You can use EasyMP Network Projection to project your computer 
content through the projector, via a network, for effective meetings, 
presentations and digital signage applications. You can use either 
wired or high-security wireless LAN connections and project the 
same or up to four different images on up to four projectors, or 
display a panoramic image. 
						

							powerLite pro G5550 product Specification
Powerful content management
split-screen
Split-screen allows you to display content from two inputs 
simultaneously, side by side, on a single screen with  
the following features:
• Three layout options, as shown below
• Video and presentation materials displayed simultaneously
• The ability to run video on both screens
Multi-PC projection
EPSON Multi-PC Collaboration utility allows you to display four 
individual PC screens simultaneously over the network with  
another 12 users connected to the same projector on Standby 
mode. You can drag and drop participants into or out of one of 
the four quadrants. This feature is a great tool for meetings or 
classroom projects where multiple users want to present and 
compare their screens. You can also connect up to four remote 
projectors at the same time and show the same multi-screen  
image — another great tool for remote meeting setups.
Layout Option 1: 50-50% split-screen

Easy and flexible installations
Centered lens design
The PowerLite Pro G5550 makes installation easy to plan with 
lens-to-screen alignment. Installers can position the ceiling mount, 
screen and projector independently of one another, knowing that 
the center of the screen will align with the lens at the center of 
the projector.
Optional Lenses
A 1.8x standard lens is included for remarkable placement 
flexibility. For even greater flexibility, Epson offers a total of five 
lenses with varying ranges, including a rear-throw lens. This 
allows users to choose the motorized lens most suited for their 
environment. A quick-release lever allows for a quick, easy 
lens exchange.
Off-axis, flexible installation
The Powerlite Pro G5550 also features a ±30-degree tilt operation 
for off-axis positioning flexibility. As a result, it can be used for 
a wide range of applications, such as projecting on angled 
surfaces. EPSON technology keeps the projector running without 
compromising performance or causing overheating.  
EPsOn lens shift technology
In addition to added reliability and amazing color performance, 
Epson’s industry-leading 3LCD technology enables this projector 
to achieve a wide range of lens shift capabilities, allowing you 
to install around obstacles. This lens shift technology enables 
an incredible range of ±50 percent on the vertical axis and ±10 
percent on the horizontal axis.
Quick Corner®
This innovative feature allows you 
to move any of the four corners of an 
image independently at setup, using the 
remote control, for a perfectly rectangular picture. 
Keystone correction
Adjusts up to ±40 degrees vertically and ±20 degrees  
horizontally to easily achieve a perfect square image.

lamp and electronics from small dust particles that can enter 
any projector. It has a recommended 3000-hour filter cleaning 
schedule
7 and can capture particles as small as three microns, 
due in part to its pleated, expanded design.
