"In the category of compatibility the Epson ticks a huge box. Normally in a wireless or wired networkable projector the connection has to be direct (peer to peer) and the software to run the wireless or wired networking is only compatible with Windows. The EMP-1715 is compatible with a fully networked connection, apple mac's as well as windows PC's, and offers easy to use software to set it all up.

The PC-Free function is another winner allowing you to take the presentation on the road without a 2 or 3 kg laptop. To use the projector with powerpoint presentations you do have to format them using the Epson software provided this simplifies the powerpoint a little taking out animations and sounds, but the loss of some squiggles is more than made up for by the 3kg not hanging from your shoulder.

All up they are both wonderful machines, well thought out and the EMP-1710 & EMP-1715 both get 4.5/5 in our book, although the EMP-1710 did not have the extra features the lower price makes up for it. "

From looking at the outside, the 1715c looks like just another "Me-too" XGA projector -- but it's the features that make this one. The Epson PowerLite 1715c is loaded down with features and functionality, ranging from wireless connectivity to auto-keystone and a fast shutdown time. It can do just about everything a presenter on the road would ask of a projector.

Computer-less Projection. The PowerLite 1715c is also capable of projecting without the use of a computer at all. If you attach a camera or USB thumbdrive to one of the projector's USB ports, you can browse and display photos as well as start a slideshow.

WiFi Connectivity. The PowerLite 1715c comes standard with a wireless interface, which will allow you to integrate the projector into a network for monitoring, as well as project wirelessly.

Smaller Lighter Brighter
Weighing in at just 1.7kg and sized at only 193 x 273 x 68mm * , the EMP-1715 is a surprisingly compact unit for the power it delivers. Underpinning the projector's near perfect balance of size and power are world-leading Epson technologies, such as the advanced 3LCD panel system and the light-efficient Epson Twin Optimised Reflection Lamp (E-TORL).

In combination, these technologies provide an amazingly portable projector with brightness - up to 2700 ANSI lumens- and features

that match and even exceed those offered by many installation only projectors.

Advanced Wireless Security
To ensure the EMP-1715 provides the best possible fit with today's increasingly wireless environment, the projector has been designed with enterprise-level security features. Among the various security and encryption technologies incorporated within the projector are:

• Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) standard encryption scheme

• WiFi Protected Access-PreShared Key (WPA-PSK) security specification, often referred to as WPA "Home", which uses a key of 256 bits in length
• WiFi Protected Access-Extensible Authentication Protocol (WPA-EAP), sometimes referred to as WPA "Enterprise", which offers TLS (Transport Layer Security), TTLS (Tunnelled Transport Layer Security) and PEAP (Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol) connection and authentication methods.
• Lightweight and Efficient Application Protocols (LEAP)

In combination with the EMP-1715's wireless and wired * network connection capabilities, these features ensure the projector meets the requirements of even the most security-conscious enterprise.

* Wired LAN adaptor is available as an optional extra

Freedom To Connect
A key benefit of the EMP-1715 is its ability to be network connected either wired (optional wired LAN adaptor available) or wirelessly. Bundled with a wireless network adapter, which slides easily into a recessed USB slot, the projector can be quickly reconfigured for a wired network simply by sliding out the wireless adapter and replacing it with an optional wired LAN adapter.

To ensure optimum compatibility with corporate and education IT

Multi-Screen Display
One of several world's first features introduced with the EMP-1715, is the versatile multi-screen display feature. By taking advantage of the PC and Macintosh operating systems' multitasking capabilities, a single computer can be used to control - simultaneously - up to four EMP-1715s, with each one displaying a separate application.

In education and corporate presentations, the EMP-1715's multi-screen display feature represents an enormous step forward in providing presentations that deliver enormous impact for maximum effect.

PC-Free Presentations
While the EMP-1715 has comprehensive network and wireless connectivity features, the promise of total freedom in projection portability is met with the projector's PC-free functionality. Simply connect a memory device containing images, movies or compatible presentation file to the USB port and using the bundled remote control or in-built menu, realise the true potential of mobile projection technology.

Among the numerous other features that contribute to the EMP-1715's absolute ease-of-use are:

• USB Smart Connect, which enables the projector to be connected to a PC using a USB cable instead of the traditional VGA cable
• Instant Off feature, eliminating the need for a cool-down period before packing the projector in its carry case
• Quick Start Up, ensuring the projector is ready to use within five seconds of power on
• Easy to replace lamp, even when ceiling mounted

The Wireless LAN feature allows you to transfer presentations, photos and moving graphics (from MPEG files) without being restricted by cables.

Mobile presentations are incredibly easy with the Epson EMP-1715. PC-free capability means users can connect a range of USB-enabled devices such as thumb drives. For quick and easy slide-show presentations at weddings, business conferences or training seminars the EMP-1715 can project pictures, MPEG2 files and presentations without the need for a PC.

When you have finished your presentation, simply switch off and pack away. With the instant off button there's no waiting around for the projector to cool down.
