low ownership costs. Maintenance is simplified by a new rear lamp access
feature.
Features
Bright, clear images with maximum 4,200 lumens colour light
output
With a 4,200 lumen maximum light output (in high mode), the VPL-EW348
delivers crisp, bright presentations that can be seen clearly in larger
classrooms or meeting rooms. There’s a choice of three brightness modes to suit
any environment, from bright daylight to darkened rooms.
3LCD BrightEra™ technology
The efficient 3LCD panel system is enhanced by advanced BrightEra™ technology
for impressively bright, consistent, high resolution images with excellent
colour accuracy and impressive reliability.
WXGA resolution
WXGA (1280 x 800) 16:10 display resolution gives plenty of crisp detail:
ideal for making presentations direct from a laptop, mobile device or DVD
player.
Powerful 16W audio
The powerful built-in 16W speaker (mono) lets your audiences hear video
soundtracks with no need for additional amplification. Energy efficient with
long-lasting lamp life up to 10,000 hours
High-performance lamp technology offers reduced ownership costs plus reduced
maintenance, with a long-lasting lamp replacement time of approx. 10,000 hours
(with brightness in low mode).
Advanced energy-saving features
Advanced lamp technology enables a range of energy-saving features. Auto
Light Dimming mode saves energy when the projector is left on without being
used. Auto Picture Mode automatically adjusts light output to suit the projected
scene. Touching a button on the remote mutes the picture temporarily,
dramatically reducing power consumption.
Quick go
Don't waste time when you're in a hurry to leave the room: turn off the
projector and unplug immediately, with no lengthy waiting for cool-down.
Networked presentations
Project presentations from a networked PC or Mac. Present JPEG, PDF and other
files wirelessly from a tablet or smartphone. Up to four users can project
PC/Mac images simultaneously, while up to eight users can connect to one
projector. The Projector Station for Network Presentation application for
Windows/Mac is included. For tablet/smartphone use, an application is provided
by Pixelworks, downloaded from the web. For details visit http://PWPresenter.pixelworks.com
Control and management from any networked PC
Projector functions and status can be managed and monitored remotely from any
networked PC, using the included Projector Station for Network Control
application.
Present wirelessly
Make presentations wirelessly from a portable or handheld device. (Microsoft
Windows / Macintosh OS requires Projector Station for Network Presentation
application. iOS / Android requires VueMagic application.)
Remote Control app for iOS/Android

anywhere in the room with your handheld device, with simple easy-to-read buttons
on your phone or tablet screen.
USB media viewer

needed.
Supports HDBaseT
Simpler, more cost-effective installation and connectivity with digital
transmission of HD video, audio, power and networking/control over a single
Ethernet cable.
Dual HDMI inputs
Two HDMI input terminals make it easy to connect HDMI-equipped devices like
PCs and media streaming devices.
USB Display function for easy one-cable PC connection
Present pictures and audio* from a connected PC or Mac with just one USB
cable - you don't even need to install a software driver.
* There may be a time lag between video and audio. For low-latency
applications it is recommended to use projector's line-in or HDMI-in
connection.
Customised input naming labels
Define your own input labels like 'BD Player', 'PC' and 'Document Camera',
making it easier to see on screen what devices are connected and being used.
Easier maintenance
Lamp access has been shifted to the rear of the projector body, making lamp
swaps simpler when the projector is hanging from a ceiling mount.
Quiet operation
Low fan noise ensures discreet, unobtrusive operation in classrooms and
meeting rooms.
