   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, as shown in the 
chart.  
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 G5550Nl also features four test patterns for 
precise setup, including detecting distortion, checking linearity, 
color reproduction and bleeding, and dicoM simulation mode.
   Standard   cross-Hatch

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.

Easy and flexible installations
Centered lens design
the Powerlite Pro G5550Nl 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.

included). 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 G5550Nl 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.  
Keystone correction
adjusts up to ±40 degrees vertically and ±20 degrees  
horizontally to easily achieve a perfect square image.
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®
