Epson Brings Next-Generation Projection Technology to ENTECH NZ 2026

Epson projection technology takes centre stage at ENTECH NZ 2026, where the company will showcase its latest professional and commercial display solutions. The event ranks as Australia and New Zealand’s longest-running AV trade roadshow. It remains the only show dedicated to AV and entertainment technology professionals.

Epson’s participation underscores a broader shift. The AV industry has moved beyond simply networking once-disparate systems. The sector has entered a “post-converged” phase in which new business models, products and markets are emerging. Manufacturers historically focused solely on live performance now create corporate meeting-room solutions. Digital signage platforms are becoming room-control and corporate communication hubs. Lighting and audio companies are delivering networked architectural products.

At the centre of this transformation sits the projector. It’s no longer just a display device. It has become a networked, intelligent node capable of delivering spectacular visual experiences across corporate, entertainment, education and signage applications.

Epson’s ENTECH stand will demonstrate exactly how integrators, production firms, consultants and end-users can capitalise on this convergence.

EB-PQ2220B Leads Epson Projection Technology at ENTECH

The centrepiece of Epson’s showcase will be the EB-PQ2220B ultra-high-brightness 3LCD laser projector from Epson’s flagship PQ series. Visitors will see it in action on a 120″ screen paired with the LX02S short-throw lens. This combination demonstrates how staggering light output can be deployed even where throw distance is constrained.

The EB-PQ2220B features a fully sealed optical engine and laser light source. It stays virtually maintenance-free for up to 20,000 hours. It also resists dust, smoke and particulate matter that plague traditional lamp-based projectors in staging and live-event environments. The projector supports 360-degree installation, edge blending, curved-surface projection, lens position memory and Art-Net control. These features matter for rental and staging companies rigging concerts, broadcast backdrops and immersive events.

For attendees, the value is clear: fewer service calls, no filter changes, and a sealed design that retains brightness and colour accuracy tour after tour. The LX02S lens option proves that even the most demanding large-venue brightness can adapt to space-limited corporate ballrooms, museums and houses of worship.

Paired with compatible Epson projectors, the ELPEC01 external camera transforms projector installation from a time-consuming manual process into an automated workflow. The camera enables automatic edge-blending calibration, colour matching, geometric correction and stacking alignment across multi-projector arrays. These tasks traditionally consume hours of technician labour.

EB-L690SE Brings Epson Projection Technology to Corporate Markets

 

Also demonstrated with a 100″ screen will be the EB-L690SE. It represents Epson’s L-Series laser technology tailored for corporate, education and simulation markets. The projector features 4K Enhancement for razor-sharp detail, Scene Adaptive Gamma for optimised image quality in mixed content, and full compatibility with the ELPEC01 camera for automated calibration.

Built-in wireless LAN with enterprise security, NFC quick-pairing and content playback capability eliminate the need for external media players in many signage and corporate messaging scenarios. The laser light source delivers up to 20,000 hours of maintenance-free operation. Meanwhile, 360-degree projection and edge-blending support offer installation flexibility for challenging architectural environments.

For consultants and IT managers building hybrid spaces, boardrooms that double as overflow training rooms, or museum exhibits that rotate content weekly, the L690SE reduces complexity. It combines display, processing and wireless presentation into one reliable unit.

LightScene EV-115 Extends Epson Projection Technology to Signage

Finally, the LightScene EV-115 will be demonstrated as Epson’s answer to the rapidly converging worlds of digital signage, architectural lighting and room control. This compact 3LCD digital signage projector weighs just 6.9 kg. Yet it delivers big-screen impact from 30″ to 150″.

Where the EV-115 truly shines is its integration. It enables lighting designers to control the projector from the same lighting console that drives LED washes and moving heads. It also lets AV programmers manage it within existing control ecosystems. Built-in content playback and content creation capabilities reduce the hardware stack, so no external player is required for scheduled signage loops.

With ultra-low power consumption (as little as 112 W in Eco mode) and whisper-quiet operation down to 22 dB, the EV-115 fits into retail boutiques, luxury hospitality, galleries and corporate receptions where conspicuous technology is unwelcome. For signage integrators expanding into experiential and architectural projects, the EV-115 offers a bridge between traditional AV and networked lighting design.

Epson’s hands-on demonstrations allow attendees to evaluate brightness, colour accuracy and feature sets in person. These qualities matter for a product category where spec sheets rarely tell the full story.

Beyond the hardware, Epson’s presence offers a window into new revenue streams. The post-converged landscape rewards integrators who can deliver unified visual ecosystems rather than siloed boxes. Epson’s projectors combine deep software integration, networked control and automated calibration. They’re designed to be sold as part of managed-service contracts and recurring-maintenance agreements, not just one-off hardware deals.
