Epson BrightLink 1480Fi – Interactive Laser Display

Product Overview

The Epson BrightLink 1480Fi (V11H921520) is a 1080p 3LCD interactive ultra-short-throw laser display for classrooms, training rooms, and conference rooms. This interactive laser projector delivers 5,000 lumens of equal color and white brightness and supports finger touch and pen interactivity for up to eight collaborators with optional touch modules. It projects a 16:9 image up to 100 inches diagonal, providing about 75 percent more interactive whiteboarding space than a 75-inch flat panel. With a maintenance-free laser light source, built-in wireless, and integration-ready connectivity, it suits AV deployments that need durable front-of-room collaboration displays.

Product Description

The BrightLink 1480Fi mounts above the writing surface using its ultra-short-throw lens, with a 16:9 throw ratio of 0.27 to 0.37, keeping presenters out of the light path. Interactivity uses infrared technology supporting two pens and six finger touch points across a 65 to 100 inch diagonal interactive area; optional BrightLink touch modules allow up to eight users to work on a single canvas. The display supports PC-free whiteboarding for drawing, saving, printing, and emailing, and it can share whiteboard content with other network-connected BrightLink 1480Fi and 1485Fi projectors. Built-in wireless LAN (802.11 b/g/n/ac) with free Epson iProjection software lets users connect, display, and share content from multiple devices in lecture halls and meeting spaces. Connectivity includes three HDMI inputs plus an HDMI output for signal distribution, with a dual 8 W stereo speaker system for room audio. AV integrators commonly weigh it against the camera-equipped Epson BrightLink 1485Fi and the UST interactive Epson BrightLink 770Fi; compare interactive options across the full Epson projector lineup.
