he compact, lightweight EPSON EMP-7300/7200/5300 
Projector allows you to project XGA, full-color images and 
video onto a large screen for presentations. The projector can 
connect simultaneously to two image sources: one PC or 
Apple® Macintosh® computer image sources plus one video 
source such as a video tape deck, camcorder, or digital 
camera. Audio can also be connected for each image source.
Images are displayed in true XGA full color (16,670,000 
colors) at a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels. The projector 
produces bright images that can be easily seen in rooms with 
enough light to take notes. Audio can be produced from the 
projector’s  1W+1W stereo, which employ a built-in SRS 3D 
sound® for output that is rich and powerful. An external 
speaker can also be connected when further amplification is 
required.
A totally new AVTSS™ (Automatic Video Tracking and 
Synchronization Sensing, patent pending) provides automatic 
set-up of image from a computer.
The projector can be controlled using a hand-held remote 
control unit, with menus being provided for image source 
switching and image adjustment. The remote control can also 
be used as a wireless mouse to control mouse operations on 
the computer screen during presentations. The projector 
software provides a number of add-on features that are 
designed to make presentations more effective.
