Amazing Image Quality

3x Brighter Colors with Epson
Brilliant image quality requires high color brightness. Epson 3LCD projectors have 3x Brighter Colors than leading competitive projectors. Delivering 8300 lumens of color brightness (color light output)and 8300 lumens of white brightness (white light output), the PowerLite Pro Z9800WNL uses 3LCD, 3-chip technology for brilliant images with true-to-life color.

One brightness measurement (lumens) is not enough. A projector's specification needs to show both high color brightness and high white brightness. If color brightness is lower than white brightness, images may be dark, dull and lose detail. If not provided, be sure to ask for a projector's color brightness specification.

Actual photographs of projected images from an identical signal source. Price, resolution and white brightness are similar for both projectors
(Epson 3LCD and 1-chip DLP competitor). Both projectors are set to their brightest mode.

3LCD The #1 projection technology in the world

• Both high color brightness and high white brightness
• 3 chips for up to 3x Brighter Colors than 1-chip DLP projectors
• 25% lower power consumption for lower energy costs
• 20 years of road-tested reliability
• A nationwide study reveals that 9 out of 10 people prefer images from 3LCD projectors

Powerful Projection Mapping

Building Mapping
Make static structures come alive with eye-popping 2D and 3D video projection on virtually any exterior - including buildings , bridges and tunnels. Pro Z Series projectors offer projection mapping capabilities to support spectacular, breathaking productions. These site-specific video displays are ideal for an array of uses, including advertising, public art, entertainment and more.

Dynamic Projection Applications

Object Mapping
Transform practically any object or setting into a dynamic visual display, regardless of the shape or size. From cars to landscapes to entire interior spaces, there is no limit to the applications made possible by projection mapping - even the most irregularly-shaped surfaces can become a screen.

Flexible Projector Positioning

360-Degree Projection
Take advantage of every surface in the room. Pro Z Series projectors can be rotated 360 degrees, for off-axis positioning flexibility, and are ideal for a wide array of applications, including projecting on the ceiling, on the floor, or as part of a rear-projection system.

Vertical Projection

Portrait Mode
A creative solution for fashion shows, live performances and virtually any setting requiring projecton onto tall, vertical screens or surfaces, Portrait Mode enables you to install the projector on its side for displaying digital signage, screening images or projecting video with portrait orientation.

Innovative Projection Solutions

Advanced Options

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.

Split Screen Feature
Split Screen allows you to display content from two inputs simultaneously, side by side, on a single screen. With three layout options, you can display video and presentation materials. Or, you can run video on both screens.

Versatile, Advanced Connectivity

HDBaseT and Diverse Connectivity
